If I recall correctly, you should install the USB speed touch drivers first

USB on A7N8X deluxe - problem
Hi

OK thanks I'll try that. I am gathering a list of options to try because
when I start, I will be offlined for a while (I have only one functioning system at the moment and I'm using bits to set the second one up, so I can't be on the net while I am at my most vulnerable! aaaaaaagh!)

Does the Speedtouch have a separate "wall wart" plugin transformer for power ? There are some ADSL USB modems that draw their power from the USB cable, and the Alcatel 330 "Frog" modem, for example, draws ~500 milliamps, which is the limit for a USB port. The result is sometimes the port shuts down. I have a Speedtouch 1000 with Ethernet port, and the flashing red LED operates during the self-test at powerup. After testing is complete, the green LEDs flash and eventually go solid green, indicating sync is complete. Paul "Art C." wrote in message ...
