Hi,
I've an old DELL U.S.Robotics 56k modem (v90 I think) and I've placed it in a new DELL system (new as in 3 years old, the other one is maybe 6), and the thing is DELL don't have drivers for this latest 'WinXP' system, so I was wondering if someone knows where I can get a new driver from?
At the moment Windows XP is using its own default driver (19/04/2001), but I'm getting disconnected so often when trying to download files that I was thinking it might be because of driver age, which is why I'm asking for some kind of an update!
The product ID number for this DELL modem is: 83297800
I've checked out the UK Robotics site but they don't seem to have my modem listed, probably because it's a DELL one.
I want to download a 500MB file using my screachy friend but being detached every 3-30 minutes is damn annoying. I need help! Badly!

Not sure about the driver, but try using a download manager or some kind - DAP, GetRight. I know they're often filled with Ads and stuff, but it may be the best solution. We used to use one to get around the 2hr cut-off limit on Freeserve Dialup.
My two main downloads at the moment is a Steam application and a file from FilePlanet, so the files are 'cached' anyway from these sources, but's still annoying every few minutes to be dropped!
Fair enough. I've had a load of Steam games downloading lately. Once they're installed, is there any way to load the games from a shortcut on the start menu or do you have to load them via Steam?

Erm, you can right click the games in the list and create shortcuts for them, then cut the shortcuts and drop them in (for XP) C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Start Menu\Programs and then they should appear in the start menu.
