Q
Is there a way to find out what Drivers were Installed on my Computer from a Backup of the C: drive?
I had to reinstall Windows recently, and I DID a Backup / Recovery of the Entire C: Drive.
I have all of the Original Files from my C: Drive, including the Registry File(s). Can I find out what device drivers I had Installed? I have a Device I can’t find the Driver for. Under the Device Manager, it’s a PCI Simple Communications Control, but I KNOW it’s the Modem. If I click on the Properties/Details, it describes it as a:
VEN_0001&DEV_2013&SUBSYS_6793151D&REV_01…
I don’t know the Manufacture, but it IS a PCI 56k Modem. I used it for the Hyperterminal.

Don’t be afraid. Pop the modem out of your computer’s PCI slot. Look at the largest chip on the modem, there should be a model number or manufactures name on that chip, then go to the DS device driver downloads page and find the manufacturer of the modem listed, and you should be fine!
Windows will always install the most generic drivers that will work for your device so its always best to go through this process manually.
