hi all, please forgive this post, i am at the end of my wisdom, and HP prove to be dorks on all counts again. This has nothing to do with this list, but i spent a solid week now on the net and in touch with other people, trying to get help at no success. i figure that there's got to be some people even on this list that can help me...
I am in desperate need for some drivers off the HP Pavilion 9680C (US) recovery CD, which, of course, you can't download at hp.com. They shipped their systems with that Conexant SoftK56 piece of junk modem. I had to reinstall Win98 (please feel free to express your sympathy via email!), and all the drivers and all the help i could get (mainly driverguide.com) are useless - according to HP I need the original drivers off the recovery CD if I want my modem to work. Moreover, they are throughly rude on the phone, you can clearly see how the most important thing at HP too is the money... (they wanted to charge me $25 per 15 minutes because i called from germany, even though the US system i had purchased was still within warranty). ack! Does anyone have that CD? martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- due to lack of interest tomorrow has been cancelled.
