Windows 7 and Three Modem
Hi folks
I got 3 mobile Broadband a few months ago on the 5 gig a month contract. All was well in the land of XP. Got a new laptop with Windows 7, so I thought there would be no issues. After I installed the usual software, which incidentally, is the updated drivers for Windows 7 - it seemed to go okay, for about two minutes. The whole system just froze. I have tried for days, and the issue just repeats. Can go for about five minutes tops, and then it freezes. I have tried not even opening Internet Explorer, but it still does it. So I got a mates PC with Windows 7 on it. It does exactly the same thing. I have trawled the net to see if anyone else has these issues, but with no luck. I got back to XP on the laptop temporarily while I try to find a solution. I got a reply on another group with exact same hardware and issue: Hi, I have the exact same problem. I am using a ZTE MF627 modem, windows 7 pro. Like yourself within a couple of minutes of connection the system freezes. Usually the mouse pointer is still active but that only lasta a couple of minutes or until I try Ctrl Alt Del. Luckily I still have my XP install to drop back on when I have to use mobile internet, Win 7 is steady on my wifi connection for hours at a time. No other crashes than when using the dongle. Anybody any ideas? Rik Any ideas? Regards SantaUK |

I'll give it a go at the end of the week. I saw that thread, but not the
most recent reply. Many thanks. "Dave-UK" Here@home wrote in message ... "SantaUK" wrote in message ... Hi folks I got 3 mobile Broadband a few months ago on the 5 gig a month contract.

I called USRobotics and they said I would have to download their Vista 64 bit driver and install it. I did and the modem works ok now. |
