USB Modem Not Detected
At the moment I use a USB broadband modem to conect to the internet. If I
leave it plugged in then Windows waits ages at the load-up screen and then progresses to the log-in screen and when I log in the modem is not available, as if it has not been detected. If I then unplug and then plug in the modem Windows goes through its usual "New Hardware Detected" routine and then the modem works fine. This is a real pain. I have found that if I start up the PC with the modem unplugged then it goes through the start-up screen in it's usual quick(ish) time, and if I then plug in the modem at the log-in screen and wait a little while (say 15 seconds), then when I log-in the modem is there and connects no problem. Can anyone shed any light, and hopefully a solution, on this issue. Thanks, Gary. |

Please check Event Viewer for Warning / Error Reports in the System and Application logs for when the error occurs and post copies. You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important. HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/default...308427&sd=tech Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further information. http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp (Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only) A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer. -- Hope this helps. Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Gary" wrote in message ...
