No windows 7 USB driver for my modem, how do i do ?

[tchofinho]

Hi
i have a modem Cisco/Scientific Atlanta, dpc2100 Series, and i don't find anyway to make it works with usb cable, i doesn't install in my computer and there's no driver for windows 7, what can i do ?
I have a driver for windows vista, i think it may work but the driver is not .exe and when i go to get it from the folder in device manager it says no drive found, probably because the computer knows that's not for windows 7, is there any other way to instal it ?

Thank you very much

Hi Welcome to Seven Forums ... Are you using 32 or 64 Bit OS ? ... Have you tried the Erthnet connection ? ...

Hi Maxie, i'm using 64 bits
my Erthnet connection works, but i need the usb connection for a virtual machine, because i need different ips on them
Any idea about how to do ?

Thanks Maxie

Vista Driver might work .. But i think the big problem is the OS ...

It should be an INF file .. So try the following method ..


Device Manager
Right-click on your Modem Device
Then click on Update Driver
Select on search driver on computer
Then insert the path of your INF file

It didn't work, it just let me choose the folder anyway not the file
But yesterday i did some similar thing to instal a usb driver for windows vista in my windows 7, but instead of looking for the folder or the file, i had to instal a .exe file and then go to
Device Manager
Right-click
Update Driver
search driver on computer
and then "let me pick from a list of device drivers..."
the usb driver was from microsoft so i found microsoft in the list and got it, but for this modem i can't find the company there
