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!

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.

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?
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!
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.
