Did anyone have problems using this with XP sp3? My notebook no longer recognizes it's Dell Conexant 56K modem and I'm hoping this will work until I buy my next notebook in a few months. Hopefully it will also work in a Win 7 notebook as they never...

Windows 7 is fine, tested and proven. I don't think XP will be a problem since it runs in 7.

My old Dell XPS 1330 is NOT USB 3.0. The cable that comes with it is a USB 3.0 and plugs into the USB 2.0 on the laptop. Works perfectly!

I have a Surface Pro 3 - have not been able to make it work - tried multiple power options - splitters into the Surface power supply, USB hub, etc. - no go. Works fine all my other HP, Dell laptops and PCs.

Hey, I'm running windows XP Pro w/ service pack 3 - had no issues installing this adaptoor right from the driver disk. Not a hiccup or anything, which suprised me given the price being so reasonable. I don't think I've had it a full year yet but if you're having troubles I'd say, If you havnt done so already, take any hard line internet source from the PC so it's completely uninfluenced, remove any software that might have partially installed (control panel - add/remove hardware), remove the power cable from it while it's sitting at the desktop idle but still on (hard rest), wait a few minutes, reattach power line, start, if ask start XP normally, and do a fresh install of the adaptor. If that doesn't work I'd try to download the other service packs from another computer to a flash drive and move them / install to the troubled unit. Actually inserting that updating after the hard rest but before the new attempt at installing the card would make the best sequence of steps. I hope this helps.

I am using one with my laptop to increase the range and speed to conect with my home wireless network, and speed up my internet connection. I have not installed it on my Dell XPS 730X Desktop for I was concerned about any problems that I may incur since it is 64 bit and not 32 bit as is my laptop.

I installed this in my Dell 8200 and it was fine running Windows XP. It did not work properly though when I installed Windows 7.

I have win xp, sp3, worked great, driver loaded with success, no problems except with everyone using secure connections, I could not connect for internet, maybe in a big city where leftover signal is available, it would be great. I can see all my neighbors on line but like I said, everything is password protected so I could not connect for wifi.

I'd do three things: 1) Do a search on Amazon for "USB Modem". As of 5 minutes ago, you'll be presented with 125 hits. Research time: start with the biggies (US Robotics, Zoom, Creative Labs, Best Data, Diamond, 3Com, etc); ask each if their product is ABSOLUTELY compatible with the 3ePC. 2) Go to Asus' website and plead with them to give you info on a USB modem they know will work. 3) Hope that somebody smarter than I am responds to your question. By the way, I also am (and I'm sure a good many others are) looking for a dial-up modem (not a high priority, yet). Please respond if you happen across any good news. Thanks.

I haven't tried XP personally, but it's an x86 architecture and I would bet XP SP3 has all the drivers builtin. The NIC is an Intel PRO/1000, USB is Intel 82810GB/R (ICH7). There is no parallel port. Serial ports are exposed via BIOS to the OS, which has been supported since the early 80's.

I have it working with XP SP3, I would assume 8.1 would have the drivers for it. For the price, I would take a chance. Up to you.

Google the manufacturer and model name for drivers. And do the same for forums. That's what I did. You can find different driver packages but I believe as far as my last search went nearly a year ago, the maufacturer's latest drivers at that time were beginning to solve lingering user issues. Most reported good success though not necessarily the bandwidth specified, though still rewarding. Time has passed so a search should yield even newer drivers. I have not had a chance to actually install mine, but I look forward to it.. I think anyway.. by what I did read about driver developments.

I run Windows XP SP3 and could never get the software to work. Tried many times with the support but used it and when I wanted to shut down, I just shut windows down, then the back up.

Yes, it will work with XP. I run XP with Service Pack 3 and all updates, and I have no problems.

The description says that it has: RJ-45 port for 10/100 Fast Ethernet and RJ-11 port for 56K modem. So, I would take it to mean that you can either use a network system (ethernet port) or dial-up system (56k modem port)--both types would be internal modems.As to the XP software, I thought that Windows 7 took care of the glitch of Windows Vista in that you could use programs with XP. But, I could have interpreted it wrong.

I got a WD Passport 160 GB USB 2.0 Drive today. - It does not work on my 4-year old Compaq Presario 900 laptop (XP home with SP2). Nothing happens. - So far no trouble running it on my newer HP Pavilion dv4000 (XP home with SP2).With all the comments about working or not working with laptops I keep my fingers crossed! Noticed that reviews earlier this year were far more negative than more recent one's. Did they improve the product??

I don't know who the manufacturer is (or obviously their URL), but I DID find an information sheet that they included with the modem. Under "Operating System Support", is DOES list Windows 8 as being supported. I hope this is sufficient for you...

I have one and it worked fine on my old XP machine, but my new Dell has Vista and so far I can't get it to work, even afer downloading the drivers that sandisk said would fix the problem. Vista keeps seeing it as a 14 in 1 drive and refuses to except any input from it. I just gave it to a friend who's still running (and I wish I was) XP and replaced it with one by Belkin.
