SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL Modem Driver
Hi Everyone, I've read the whole forum and tried to followed the instructions given especially that from Mr John MVP about the network card on My device manager not being recognise... When i go to device manager to check for the network card i dont see anything that says about a network card not being recognise, although I see a notice anout one unknown device whose driver is not installed, I then tried the wizard to locate/find the driver for this, but it is showing that driver could not be found, I then tried to manually set a driver for this unknown device but I'm not really sure which one to pick among the many drivers i could see, I'm just ignorant about these stuff and have no idea what I am doing or trying to do at all... but my problem is basically not being able to use my speedtouch connection on this new pc with vista...when i try to install the old cd from my ISP, it seems to go ok, but upon restarting to make sure changes my pc will try to install the drivers for speedtouch but it would fail and would show that device driver is not successfully installed but the software was... please help me. anyone who's tech savvy enough...! -- ibarelycantext ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ibarelycantext's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/ibarelycantext.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...ces/555039.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

The problem with using a USB device is that it needs drivers, and from what I can tell, the manufacturer is not interested in supplying Vista drivers for this model. The drivers contained on the installation CD will be for Windows up to and including XP. An 'Ethernet capable' modem does not require drivers.
