Actually I tried that yesterday. When I tried to use the Application to install it - it stopped when it tried to download netshell. Then I looked for a manual download in Chrome... Whatever I did - something got messed up on my computer. That was what the System Restore was for.

EDIT: I tried the 'Let me Fix it myself' steps. But I can't get the resetlog.txt to come up. >:-[

I did download some driver updates for it. But it had trouble before that, and that was within the last month.

Yes. This is what I get.

Nope. It's a DSL connection. :-/
