Sprint pc-5740 card and Vista
I had the same problem using my Merlin S620 from Novatel. the S620 is made
for use with Sprint PCS wireless internet. While it works fine with Windows XP, I would get the same results as John did. But i found a solution. Here it is. With my Sprint Connection Manager fully updated (ver. 3.08.013 (41.0 MB)) on my XP system, i copied the contents of the Sprint Connection Manager folder from the XP system. Then, i pasted all the files ect... to an empty folder in the VISTA system (C: Novatel Wireless/Sprint/Sprint connection Manager) Actually, install the Connection Manager to Vista as you normally would using the installation disk. Then delete the contents of the folder i mentioned. This way, Vista has a recognized installation of Sprint, but with the new pasted files...
