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!)

If I recall correctly, you should install the USB speed touch drivers
first
reboot the system then plug in the modem to proceed.
Worth a try!

Hi

I am setting up my A7N8X deluxe and have got to the last stage - install
modem.

My modem is the Speedtouch USB. It's the only USB device I own, when I
plug
it in I get a flashing red light on the modem (left-hand light) and
windows
does not try to install the device.

According to at least one source, the flashing-light on that modem means
there is too much USB activity. I wondered if it may be a problem with
USB
2
compatibility so I switched to 1.1 only in the bios and tried again,
same
result.

One (possibly not relevent) fact I noticed is that the USB and AGP are
on
the same IRQ. I couldn't find a way to manually force them to
eperate -can
anyone advise? Or is the problem likely to be something else?

Thanks
