I have to do a reinstall of Windows 98 tommorrow on a laptop for a friend of mine, and he uses his modem to dial onto the internet. I'm not sure of the brand of compuer, but its a 800mhz not sure of the proccessor. It had a problem where everytime it booted up, the desktop had a background that said %thisdir% and everytime you ran something, explorer.exe would crash. Now the problem, is that there were no disks that came with the computer, and I can't take the modem out to find the drivers that way. So is there specific folder that I can go to to grab the drivers for the modem? or is there some way that I can get the chipset number from the OS for the modem?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'll reply tommorrow, going to bed now
