I've just brought my PC home from Uni today for the Summer holidays. I plugged my Alcatel/Speedtouch USB modem into the PC and it found it. I installed the drivers and got online no probs. Had to reset the PC for another reason, but had to reinstall the modem again.
I'd already installed it but I had to reinstall it again. Anyway I did this and it worked. Had to reset PC again for something else and again I had to reinstall the modem drivers. This is now getting a bit silly methinks.
Reinstalled drivers but this time the install doesn't seem to go right, the usb light on the modem is flashing red, it should be a continuous green when the usb connection is fine. So I can't get online with my PC and USB modem.
However to further complicate matters when I plug the modem into my laptop, which I'm using now to post this, then the modem sparks into life and both the usb and line lights go solid green instantly and I can get online.
Can anyone help me out here? Why will my modem now not work with my PC but work with my laptop?
I'm thinking some drivers must be screwed somewhere and that it might be a good time to wipe the PC and reinstall Windows.
