Big help please!!!! (to guys who know about 3d cards or their drivers)

[TMA_1]

I finally got my computer up and running, but one problem is I never backed up my 3d card drivers.

Its an old card, a Geforce fx 5200. My problem is my internet connection is equally as old, 56k. It is also very touchy and randomly disconnects and I dont have a file download program that restarts downloads. Anyways the most current driver package is 40 megabytes! I hate the fact that it is put into such a large package, yeh, cant complain about it really.

Anyways I was curious if you guys could help me out in finding a way that I could get a driver for my 3d card for windows 2000 that isnt 40 freaking megabytes. Could any of you guys either upload the driver or direct me to a place with a smaller file for this specific driver? any help would be wonderful. :)

I also posted here because its an emergancy and I need a respond kinda quickly. Please help!!!!

if you used a download maneger you can download parts of the driver and then resume when

possible  .

The way I've got round things like that in the past is to find a decent network (do you have access at work/uni?), download the file, put it on a memory stick and transfer it. Though if you're asking us, you've probably already discounted that...

Rememeber the days when I had Dialup and uni had 2 Mb and I would to uni with ZipDisks and download stuff and take them home, 100MB at a time ! 100MB !!! I was the luckiest person !  It would take me weeks to get that at home.

Now I scoff at 400MB from home in one go.

easiest way: get a download manager to resume aborted downloads...

or you get it from a friend or download it at work and put it onto your mp3 player or usb stick or burn it on cd...

but tell me: you live in the U.S. an only got a 56k connection?  :O

you know you get big ass dsl connections over here so cheap, I always thought they'd be far cheaper in the U.S. and a 56k would be much more expensive.

ps: there's a technical support forum for topics like these  ;)
