Modem Users: All Modems are NOT alike!

BladeRunner

Unfortunately I am still a modem users. With BT's current ADSL roll-out plans, I think I should have broadband access by around the end of 2002. I bought a US Robotics Sporster Flash modem quite a while ago.

Diablo 2 and XP Build 2465

ShoeHornOPlenty

Im amazed how something will work properly in one build and then a new one comes out and stuff gets messed up. For me Diablo 2 worked fine in build 2463, then I did a clean install of build 2465 and now I cant get past an error msg telling me that it cannot find my cd even though its in the drive.

nvidia drivers for 2465

thestickman

Never ran across this in 2462 where I used the 10. 4 nvidia drivers for my gf2 mx 400 with absolutely no problems at all. However, in 2465 it shows up as only having 16 megs of ram and in games like sacrifice which ran perfectly in 2462.
