Updated: December 6, 2021
Quick overview:

Sending the latest news, messages and e-mails, downloading programs, enjoying films and music - the global Internet data network offers you all this and much more. Many users still shy away from setting up their own Internet connection. Windows Tweaks shows how to set up a normal connection via modem and analog telephone line. First we start with the modem installation:

1. Click with the right mouse button on Workplace and from the context menu that appears, select Properties.

2. In the next window, switch to the Device Manager and search for the entry PCI Communication Device out. Your entry for the modem could also be different, but it must always have something to do with connection and communication. Double-click on this entry, which is marked with a yellow exclamation mark.

3. A new window opens in which you can click on Reinstall driver click and there Specify the position of the driver (Advanced) specify. Now insert the driver CD or diskette that came with your modem/computer into the drive. Now select Next.

4. Decide on the option Specify a position and then for the button Browse. Now navigate to your CD/diskette and look for the folder of the correct driver for your Windows Me. This is usually marked. Highlight this folder and select OK.

5. One click on Next lets Windows recognize and find the driver. A renewed Next is necessary to proceed to the next step. The country configuration settings may now open, in which you should of course select Germany. If the installation was successful, the button Finish which you operate with pride.

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
