ok, i just got a laptop today, and it has ME on it, so i hook up my cable modem to it via USB i turn on the laptop and try installing the drivers, but the pc JUST WONT FIND THEM!!!
i have the drivers CD but the cd just says to go to add new hardware wizard etc, i did that and when it says to specify a location i told it drive D: cause thats my CD-Rom drive, and it wont find them! i can see the drivers when explore the CD, but when i double click them nothing happens exept notepad opens up, i even copied the drivers so to a folder on my HD and told it to look for them there, and still no results.... can anyone help me out??
i usually dont have this problem cause i usually use an ethernet port, but this comp doesnt have one....
IF YOU HELP ME I WILL GIVE YOU A COOKIE!!!

Thanks
Scientific atlanta webstar cable modem
let me check the model number here in a sec
DPX100 Series cable modem P/N:749874
However, they used Toshiba Modems.
The best method I fixed this with was to add in a Network Card and use a J45 connection instead of USB. That way you don't need drivers. Sorry Ic an't remember what to do to fix this, it was a year ago that this last occured to me.
and nope its not roadrunner, its charter...
check that, there's also a pdf that explains how to update your usb drivers on windows me for you. finally, it's time for an upgrade to windows xp man! you should really ditch that 9x/me kernel garbage asap.
anyways, im installing XP onto my laptop right now,
but hey!! ME is good for gaming!!
