Installation Guide
1. Determine whether your machine is a 600, 600E, 770, 770ED, 770X, or a 770Z which has an internal ACP modem. If not, this code is not appropriate for your machine.
2. If the code is appropriate, determine your current level of ACP modem code by running the ACP modem Quick Tests utility. To run this program, go to the Windows Start menu on the machine you wish to upgrade, click on Programs, ThinkPad Modem, Quick Tests. This will start the Quick Tests application. In the upper right corner, you will see ThinkPad Modem x.xx (where x.xx is the release) and Build yy. These numbers will match one of the following:
a. Release 2.33 Build 17
b. Release 2.33 Build 20
c. Release 2.35 Build 27
d. Release 2.35 Build 27A
e. Release 2.35 Build 28A
f. Release 2.35 Build 35
g. Release 2.35 Build 06
h. Release 2.35 Build 08
i. Release 2.35 Build 10
j. Release 2.36 Build 36
k. Release 2.50 Build 20
l. Release 2.50 Build 21
m. Release 2.51 Build 06
3. If you determine that you have any of the following Release/Build combinations:
a. Release 2.33 Build 17
b. Release 2.33 Build 20
c. Release 2.35 Build 27
d. Release 2.35 Build 27A
e. Release 2.35 Build 28A
f. Release 2.35 Build 06
g. Release 2.35 Build 08
then you must first update your machine to the latest level of ACP modem code. These drivers must be installed on your machine prior to installing this V.90 upgrade.

f. If you clicked YES, the installation of the V.90 drivers will continue. When you are prompted to restart your computer, close all other applications on your machine, and click FINISH to restart your system. When the system restarts, it will redetect all the modem components.
NOTE:
The extraction wizard will leave both ACP90R2.EXE and MODEMV90.EXE on your system. If you need the hard disk space, you can delete either of the two files. If you delete both files, you will need to download ACP90R2.EXE to reinstall the V.90 update.
