I use a dial-up modem as a back-up. The US robotics modem installs with the
operating system and will dial out and pass on board tests. When attempting
to install the dial-up application I get unsupported operating system
messages.

Is your modem PCI or USB? I don't use a dial-up program except the Dial-up
connector in accessories so I hope Microsoft has a 64-bit version with the
system.

So the problem is the application, which isn't seeing a version of the OS it
likes. Try installing it in compatibility mode, telling the app that it's
running on a version it supports. If the modem installs and is seen correctly
by the OS, the rest is just application level.

Another possibility is that the installer is 16-bit. If that's the case,
you'll need to find a different dialup application, since 16 bit isn't
supported at all.
