I upgraded from Windows 95 to Windows 98 on an old computer that I just use to receive faxes so I don't want to spend much money on it. I formatted my hard drive and installed Windows 98 from scratch so then I had a hard time trying to get drivers for everything. I finally found drivers for my Rockwell Modem RC144AxF and I was able to get my modem and fax software to work. HOWEVER now everytime I reboot my computer it detects NEW SOFTWARE called "wave device for voice modem" and I have to click through it and cancel it so that I don't EVER get a clean boot. I read somewhere that this problem involves Windows files rather than modem or sound card files but it is VERY IRRITATING. I don't need to install this feature which I understand involves "voice" so I just want to stop the problem of rebooting and always detecting "new" hardware.

The Driver is not part of your modem support files, and is not part of the sound card support files - the driver needed comes with Windows. If you are prompted for a file location when installing the wave driver for voice modem, you need to direct to your Windows CD then you can disable it in the device manager.
