| explodinghead75 Tl Posts: 1 USA | Posted - 7/25/2006 12:00:31 AM    I have a USR 56K winmodem which seemed to work decently with my older computer running win98 but since I have installed on a system with Windows2000 pro it has been giving me alot of trouble, with both the original drivers, and even after I went to the USR site and updated them. I get a message that says "3cmlnkw.exe has generated errors and will be shut down" and I have to reboot. I only seem to have this problem when I'm browsing; I can play games online for hours with no problem usually. I have recently reinstalled Windows2000 pro, and still experience the same problem so I don't think it is Windows. I could try another modem, but I would like to make sure there is no other solution first. |
