cable internet problems -
07-07-2005, 09:07 PM
I have roadrunner cable, they gave me a disk for my old computer, now I'm having trouble with it. I loaded it up and worked great, then it said it found some updates for the cable software, after i updated it stopped working.
the cd with the software for the cable says that its "for windows 98se,2000,and ME. I was wondering since I have xp now if I should get them to send me a xp disk.
also when I'm playing BIA is runs alittle choppy, I was wondering how to turn off programs on desktop while I am playing a game.

That's typically what network cards do.
I've had cable for 6 years and have never needed any software for it.

I loaded up Comcast for someone before and had to use a CD. But that is probably because I had to connect it by USB instead of ethernet, since a ethernet card wasn't installed.

What do you mean? Take the ethernet cable on the modem and plug it into your ethernet card. Unless of course you have some sort of shitty USB hookup. If that's the case then I suggest suicide.

Basically looks like a wider plug than for a telephone.

Yea, should have a place for it in the back of the modem and then connect it to your computer. It should work then since I believe only USB requires the software off a cd. If you dont have a plug for it on the computer you can buy a pretty cheap Ethernet card at Best Buy and install it into a PCI slot.
Edit: Wal-Mart carries them also. You can find the cards at just about any electronics store.
