When in the UK, I used an Alacatel Speedtouch,, a cute green thing.. to use
with XP, one had to load software from the cd because there are files
located there that are not included in the downloadable XP driver..
installing the XP driver would then update the installation and all would be
well.. bear in mind that this was three years ago, and things may have
changed now.. then again..

A great pity, because the Speedtouch is a good usb modem.. a classic case of
bad program writing that is NOT down to Microsoft XP or SP2.. maybe somebody
will come up with a fix eventually..

I've given up and gone for an ethernet connected modem!
Problem is apparently down to compatability issue of
nvidia nforce2 card and certain USB modems. No party
accepts the blame and nobody wanted to help - cheaper in
the end to spend £50 on a new modem :-((

Thanks for all your help.
