More info?)
The phone is recognized on my XP system, I can't get my Y2K system to
recognize it. I have tried installing it via MPT and just letting the
device manager install it. No luck either way. The phone actually
creates two "unknow n devices" in my device manager. When I attempt
to update the driver, I get the same result as when the bnew devizce
is first detected. I point the installation to the path where the 815
drivers are and I click ok,. The installation program reverts to
c:\winnt\inf , flashes something in the dialog box (too fast and I
don't know how to freeze the frame) and the program tells me that it
can not find the approprate driver. I then have the option of
disabling the device or trying again.
Any ideas?
System info:
p866
Win 2k
devices:
two ide hard drives
1 ide zip drive
1 ide dvd r/w
1 scsi cd rom
1 scsi cd-rw
1 usb 2.0 hub - I am connecting the phone to the hub

Thanks
