I don't know what it does, but it did need a driver. And even though the Mobile Disks and USB on my PC are both USB2.0 it still gets the warning message 'high speed device plugged into non-high-speed USB hub'.
Likewise, this modem needs an XP driver from the supplied CD. Likewise, the TV tuner card needs XP-specific drivers Likewise, the printer needs XP specific drivers (in fact the Win2000 ones work as there's not yet XP drivers for it). Likewise, the scanner needs XP-specific drivers, except Primax don't do XP drivers and tell people to use their NT or Win2000 drivers instead. Rich is right: back to a QL! Incidentally, can anyone tell me if my line wrap at 70 characetrs is working now? It isn't on-screen as I type this, but you never know what it might be until it reaches the modem! Also, am I sending plain text (it's set to plain text but I can't tell!) -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
