8.1 patch / update: into XP first?

Date: Mon, 06 Jan 2003 12:17:59 -0600 Teresa Binstock wrote I'm a newbie. 8.1 and am having trouble with USRobotics external. I've found similar lamentations and long series of ineffective help on various boards. Perhaps 8.1 and USRobotics are simply incompatible, perhaps the 8.1 patch & update has resolved some of these issues. Can I download the 8.1 patch/update into an XP partition or directly to CD while using XP (and the US Robotics)? Thnx, Teresa
