I have never had any trouble downloading to this G4 machine running OS X (format doesn't matter). I had no trouble with the other drivers. I do have a S L O W dialup which sometimes presents problems when a site times me out.
What is the file name? D0377c01.exe
Z0396PA5.EXE is the download file... did you not go back to page 6 and click the link?
Yes I did but I wrote down the wrong one. The one I downloaded was Z0396PA5.EXE
the download page
What did your last post mean?
cross posting... always fun!
Right, you have downloaded files from Dell before or did you? My question is: have you downloaded files to the mac and toasted them and then successfully read those files on the PC?
Yes, I have downloaded all of the drivers from Dell, Intel, Creative, etc. to the mac & toasted them then opened the files successfully on the PC. This G4 is the only machine that I currently have w/internet capability.Quote:

Another thought, did you copy the file to the windows hard drive first or did you try and double click it directly on the cd?
I selected run then typed in the path from the cd.
copy the file to a directory such as c:\downloaded drivers
using explorer to navigate to the file, double click it. Allow it to unzip to the directory listed. It will then launch an installer page.
How? I tried "send to" but that didn't look right because I didn't have the option of creating a place to put it...folder, path, what have you.
Do I just drag it's icon into a folder I create?
yes... sort of... dragging can sometimes create a short cut. Safer to right click copy, then navigate to the folder you created and then paste. (or have two explorer windows open side by side and right click copy from one and right click paste into the other)
I will do that after I download the file again. I compared the file I downloaded on 11/1 & the one I downloaded earlier today. The first says it is a Scannable File 4 Size 1MB. The one I downloaded today lists a size of 420 KB. My download manager said the file was 3684 KB. I just got disconnected because "the other side is not responding." I had the file 52% downloaded when I lost the connection!
OK well its gone 10pm in UK land and I need my beauty sleep. When you get it downloaded try again... your download manager is right about the file size.
I'll check your progress in the morning.
The good news is that I was successful in downloading, saving, toasting, copying, opening, and running the 95 drivers.
The bad things is that it didn't make any difference in sound card functioning.
I still have no sound.
