What errors messages do you get when you try to reinstall?

Also did you download them from an official manufacter's website?

Can't you run the unzipped files then? Did you get the drivers from the official manufacter's site?

no there are none official drivers on the website.. it's bell.ca and its for the modem SpeedStream but there's nothing

and I cannot run the unzipped files, no

text ntoes and .sys ( .sys are hidden )

EDIT : .sys are not hidden but are system files

Okay see if it locates it in

Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Modems

if not, safely unplug your device.... turn off PC.. restart and replug and plug and play should detect it
