Hi! Vista says our little USB760 external USB modem (Verizon wireless) is a CD player. Thusly, we cannot connect to the Verizon network, cannot use the modem on this LenovoT61 (running Vista for Business with SP2). The machine recognizes the few other USB devices we have, correctly...
The modem works just fine on several other computers (including one with XP and one with Win7). The Vista/Lenovo machine recognizes the mass storage aspects of the modem (which it does contain), but never sees the MODEM aspect of the modem. Is there any way to simply TELL Vista that the USB device includes a modem function and should therefore have assigned to it the Verizon modem driver?
The Verizon folks say we are using their latest, current driver and that they are stumped why this trouble with Vista.
Thanks very much!!! Your help is very much appreciated.
