Where is "Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool"?

All the instructions I receive tell me to go to the "Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool", but when I click on the link, all it does is take me to forums and lists.  Is there actually a "tool" that exists on this site, and if so, why doesn't clicking on the hyperlink take me there.  I'm trying to figure out why my Wireless USB Adapter will not connect.

    there aren't even vista 64 bit drivers for this modem, unfortunately. I do remember that when I tried out the Windowsw 7 beta, the modem was detected as the same card that XP detected it as before I installed the proper drivers. the default "generic" driver did work after a fashion, but there were some issues. I don't know if 64 bit windows would also have the ability to detect the modem and install the same 64 bit version of the generic driver. With my luck it would show up in device manager as an unknown (or unsupported) device.

    Hi,

    You can try installing the driver in compatibility mode with which it was working fine before.

    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows

    Post us the results after you try the above steps.

    Sorry, but the reports show that Windows 7 usage was unreliable.  I didn't say you couldn't use it, but there have been many reports showing this.  Use it enough....

    I have used it many times, as in about 10 to 15 times a day when I was doing phone support for GFWL.  It WAS unreliable.  XP was the best.

    Not true.  32 bit drivers will sometimes work on 64 bit systems.  64 bit drivers usually will not work on 32 bit systems.
