November 24, 200916 yr I'm about to install Win 7. I live in the boonies and my only connection (on XP) is a Sky Edge modem (Model DF-138-B, 460 kbs). I'll be out of business if Win 7 does not recognize the driver and I cannot connect. I have searched TV and the web but not finding anything useful. Appreciate any input or experience on the subject.
November 25, 200916 yr Author Did you try the XP drivers? ianwuk Well, it's tomorrow already and I'm online (obviously). A little messing around with Win 7 telling me the Profile (DTAC) was being used by another modem, but eventually got through that and I was very happy to get a connection. Thanks for the response Ianwuk. Tip for anyone installing Win 7 over XP ....leave your internet connection on when you insert your Win 7 disk, the first thing Win 7 wants to do is find and download updates. Not really an issue, just confusing because you can actually back out of the initial setup screens without issue.
