No Modems Defined in Windows

Quick Contents

Introduction

If you have no modems defined in Windows you will see the following error message when you run the PC Access Modem Wizard:

Error! No modems are defined in Windows.

The Modem Wizard only works if your PC already has at least one modem defined in the Windows Registry.

You will still be able to manually set up the modem in PC Access.

1. On the PC Access Main Menu click Setup Menu | Advanced | Modem.
2. On the Modem Setup window, click Pick.
