Ok the 1st thing we need to know is the make and model number of your modem you are trying to install also the model of the PB would help

ok from what I can see the 4100 works with 98
i assume that prodigy is SBC prodigy. Is this the name of your current internet provider? if yes then this is the software we have to uninstall.
The 1st place to look is go Start>programs is there a listing for Either Prodigy - SBC prodigy or yahoo prodigy? if yes is there an uninstall option.
If this is not listed here the go start > settings>control panel> add remove programs
Are any of these 3 listed?
Or was your dialup provider Flashnet ?
