Thread: Telstra USB wireless modems

Hey guys i need some assistance here... My boss has a laptop she uses all over the Territory. She's been using Telstra's wireless broadband for ages with no troubles. Anyway, the other day she bought a new modem so she could provide one to people renting her holiday apartment.

Unfortunately she didn't tell me and decided to test the new one by installing it on her laptop - it threw an error when it reached the point of installing the driver for the modem:

Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it

ZTE Wireless Ethernet

Adapter Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service

She since tried uninstalling the software for it and using the old one and it had somehow lost its driver in the process. Upon reinstallation of the driver, the above error was encountered for the old modem as well!

Since then I've had a go at uninstalling everything relating to the 2 devices, including their driver files, and every time it throws the same message. I'm logged in as admin on the machine and no dice. Anyone have any ideas?

im talking to u in steam

does vista automatically setup restore points? because i dont think that machine has them?

edit: LOL there's one restore point a few hours before her first attempt at getting this going (i think)

sweet, that fixed it, thanks Un.

do what i can
