Relax... I know your pain :).
First of all, try removing everything related to your modem from your
computer (including drivers, sound devices, etc). Some related devices may
be showing up as unclassified ('PCI communications device' under 'Unknown
devices'). To uninstall the drivers, check under 'Add-Remove programs').
Next, go to the 'windows\inf' directory and move all files related to your
device to a different directory as backup (not under 'inf' itself). Then
restart, and the modem should be detected. If it's not, and your modem
drivers come as an executable, run it and it should be installed.
All the best :).
