Hi

Are you using ethernet or USB to connect the modem?

Have you updated ME with any of the available patches? before installing the drivers.

Have you installed a Firewall or AV software that may block installation or connection?

You will need to uninstall the drivers via control panel > system or maybe via the install disk if it allows it before reinstalling.

Is TCP/IP installed - ME may not install it as a default on some systems

You may try these USB2 drivers:

I used them to make a "rebel" USB2 pendrive work.

The .exe file that you download is in fact a .rar file, so you don't need to install everything if you don't want. It is enough to unzip the file into a new folder, delete every reference to USB in control panel > system and reboot. When the system demands a location for the new drivers you send it to the new folder.

Important: save system.dat ant user.dat before doing anything so that you may restore both via DOS in case that this solution doesn't work.
