I see where you don't know if it will work with Windows 8. Who is the manufacturer (&amp; website) so that I can find out if there is a Windows 8 driver?

I have windows 7 but it really doesn't matter I don't think, since I have used it on several different compters with XP, win 7 and older. there are no drivers. You plug it in to USB, and run your phone line to the bottom of it and it automatically installs. They do send a small disc but I never had to use it. I advise a splitter for your phone line so you can get phone calls. I also advise that if you don't have one, you get a box, " Catch a call" which will let you know when there is a phone call coming in. I have used 2 or 3 different manufacturers. they all work exactly the same. Although if you have internet access to download a driver I do not understand why you need a dial up modem. Anyway you can google external dial up modems for all the particulars.

Have not seen a Windows 8 Driver for this yet but it works "plug 'n play" for Windows 7 without using the driver disk. If you have already made your purchase & tried unsucessfully to install it, try this: Physically remove the device and then open up device manager & "uninstall" it. Reboot your computer and then plug the adapter back in. When the "hardware found" driver install dialogue pops up, be sure to allow it to "search online" To see if it will find a driver. I can't say if this will work with any certainty because I don't have Windows 8 and haven't tried it.

Well. I'm using it with windows 7 and works just fine. At this moment I can't confirm If this will run with windows 8. Good luck.

It will work with Windows 8 but it's not guaranteed to work with Windows 8.1 without loading the latest driver.

It was stated in comments that it works with win 8 and to install drivers, but its my understanding this is plug and play with no available drivers.

I use windows 8, and had to download it from website. I recomend to do that, because the one that came with the device did'nt work, I searched the web and found couple of people with the same problem.

I have only used it with Windows 7. Perhaps you could contact the company to find out if it is compatible with Windows 8.

Sorry... I'm using it on a older computer and it's working right... It shows no reason why it would not work on Windows 8. But I have not witnessed the facts of that so I am not eligible to say yes.

I don't know about Windows 8 but it does work with Windows 7, as that is what I have. You might call the company or check on-line to see if it works with Windows 8.

Hi Armando, I used this on Windows 7. No reason why it should not work on Windows 8.

Technically it should be compatible with Windows 8 as it uses the same drivers as Windows 7 and I have it working with Windows 7 without a problem. Windows 8 has a different, crappier shell but it should work. I am not a big fan on Windows 8 and I will not purchase it but I have worked on it.

I have windows 7 and it worked fine with that. Do not have an answer for Windows 8. Sorry. Probably should contact the seller.

Check for OS specifics with manufacturer, I've used it with win 7 and win 8, but obviously have not tested it with every computer out there.
