Title: Password protection of drivers
Post by El_pralines on 12.06.05 at 00:52:31

I am trying to obtain a driver for a 3dfx Voodoo 3 card with Win Me. This site looks like an excellent source. However, the downloads require authentication and a password. I have registered for this forum and tried downloading again using the registered name and password from the forum but these were rejected. How do you download drivers from this site?
Thanks for your help.

Sorry, but there are no Passwords or alike (nor any Account) required for Downloads.

Just click & save is how it's supposed to work.

Since this is the first time anyone reported such a behaviour, please tell me what File(s) specifically you're trying to download (and with which Browser, if it's a out-of-the ordinary one).

Ah, got it.
You're using a specific Download Accelerator which is denied access to the Servers.

Just disable this Program for the moment and download the normal way, this will work without Problems.

Hi Falconfly,
Thanks very much for your reply. You are correct. I was using DAP to download the driver. Once I disabled it, I was able to download the driver OK.
Thanks again and regards,
Mike (father of El_pralines who needed the driver).
