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?

I'll give it a go at the end of the week. I saw that thread, but not the
most recent reply. Many thanks.

I don't know if this will help but I have a USRobotics dial up modem
that worked fine with Vista but wasn't even recognized by win7. 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.
