Constant re-installation
Ninehigh - 6/4/11 at 10:13 PM

Mobile broadband started playing up last week. I had to uninstall and reinstall the software every time I wanted to use it. They've sent me a new modem out and it's doing the same thing.

The only thing I've done since it was last working fine is get Service Pack 2... Any other ideas why I'd have to keep doing this?

I run XP and when I uploaded service pack 3 the whole thing just ground to a halt, sooooo slooooow, so I just dumped the update and went back to what it was before installing. Don't know if your problem is of the same type, but worth dumping the update and see what happens, (they will keep trying to get you to re-load it though, ) HTH Ray

I only bothered with the updates so I could run outlook (which now sucks, along with firefox and this other browser I'm using because firefox sucks)

How do i get rid of updates? I'm not going over the whole thing again

Just go into "Control Panel" I think its called add and remove programs, find the update and just use the option to delete it. HTH Ray

Duhhhhh why didn't I think of that? (really I feel dumb now)
Thanks I shall try it

Sounds like a windows system restore related problem, get everything working the way you want it then create a new system restore point and reboot.
