    I formatted my PC

    Well, I formatted my PC and reinstalled XP home and SP1 and all that stuff, but I can't install my internal Modem. I'm buggered if i can find any disks with drivers on it, I'm pretty sure I didn't get any when I bought the PC. Windows can't install it so I'm using our other modem. I can't say much about the modem, other than its 56K and on the modem it says "ESS teledrive"

    Anyone know where i can get some drivers?
    I dont know much...

    I just formatted my PC too, nothing like that instant speed boost, pitty it slows back down when i load me progs back on it, lol.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    When my hardware guy formatted my home-pc to switch to Linux, he made a complete mess of it. There was nothing working on it for a few days until it was switched back to windows.

    Complaining about a slow computer when you havn't upgraded since 1996 and using todays version of AOL & Office is like a really fat guy complaining about the seats in McDonalds being to small for him to sit down and eat his 4 big macs.

    I really should get some upgrades or a new pc, my fan is even covered with about 1cm of thick dust

    Imagine running an XP built computer with a windows 95/98 OS. It would be powerful as any other, 3.6Ghz Pentium IIII, 512DDR Ram. Phewwww, finally i could load paint up and my computer wouldnt require a reboot
