The newb returns...
« on: December 28, 2009, 06:17:08 PM »
So the total rookie is back with another, probably obvious answer, type of question.

I've had to install internet drivers onto a laptop before, and have run into the need to do so again. This time, I have to download the drivers onto a USB and put them on a different laptop from there.

The problem I'm running into is that there is not prompt for where I want this driver downloaded to and the driver can't download onto my laptop because is not complatable with my machine. Should I try the download on another machine and them move it to a USB. Or is there something I'm missing?

Right clicking on the link to the driver and selecting "save link as" or "save target as" or something like that (dependening on your browser) should allow you to specify the save location.

When I right-click the 'download' all it does is ask me if I want to save the button image as my background.  :x

Okay, nevermind, I tried it on the comp in the den and it prompted for where I wanted to save it to. There must be some weird thing with my laptop.

What's new.  :|

Anyway, thanks for the help.
