also check to see that the check box labeled "wait for dial tone before dialing" is checked under
open network connections->select your dial up connection->r click->properties
check all of the settings in here, make sure modem speed isnt set to 0, check all dialing rules and such, hope this helps

How old is this computer? Is it an external, PCI or on board modem?
I had an old Eitherlabs PCI modem that windows couldn't detect, so I had to try to track down the drivers for it. That folder on your desktop might be a drivers folder. WinXP also likes to put a Winbound driver to any modem that it doesn't recognize. So see what your hardware profile is saying about your modem. If it's labeling it as the wrong model/manufacture then reinstall the correct drivers.
