1135184 2010-09-06 09:58:00 I advised him against it but a mate wanted me to install Win 7 32 bit Home Premium on his PC that was running Win XP Home 32 bit.

As I suspected his PCI Modem did not want to know and there appear to be no drivers available for Win7.

Are there any dialup modems for sale in NZ ( either PCI or USB ) that are known to work under Win 7?

1135185 2010-09-06 11:10:00 I have been using TRENDNet V92 56K Internal PCI modems with the Vista drivers. PENTIUM (426)
1135186 2010-09-06 11:43:00 I have been using TRENDNet V92 56K Internal PCI modems with the Vista drivers.

I'd have a look if I can find one in NZ. Any ideas where?

1135187 2010-09-06 11:51:00 You can get a usb external modem from Dick Smiths for $49. They work fine on Windows 7/32bit/64bit.

I just set one up for a user.

1135189 2010-09-06 12:00:00 Actually let me test the drivers first to see if they work in 7

Just checked but I take it I'm actually looking for an XH1176 USB from DSE at $59.98? It looks that way as I just downloaded the Win7 drivers.

32bit shouldn't be too bad. I found with 64bit though, some are supposedly supported, Windows detects it just fine but actual connection speed drops to ****.

Best one I found was a US Robotics serial modem.
