Still Doesn't Work? Try this!

For those of you out there who read my blog on installing their Huawei E220 HSDPA USB modem running on Windows Vista and still can't make it work, this might help.

1. After running the Autorun.exe and having it install Mobile Connect on your PC, and Vista still doesn't install your device, go to the Control Panel, click on Classic View, then click on Device Manager.
   
2. Then have the Device Manager scan your PC for any hardware changes and it will install two devices, one is Huawei USB Mass Storage and it is under DVD/CD-ROM drives and USB Mass Storage device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers. Now don't worry if it still doesn't see it as a 3G modem, it usually doesn't on the first try.
   
3. Now restart your PC but you might need to remove physically your Huawei E22o from the USB port.
4. After restarting your PC, insert your Huawei E220 to the same USB port where you placed it while installing it on Step 2.
5. Go back to the Control Panel and Device Manager and again have it scan your PC for any hardware changes.
   
6. Now look under the group Universal Serial Bus controllers and you will notice that a USB Mass Storage device has a mark/icon indicating that it has a conflict.
7. Right-click on it and choose Uninstall.
8. Now have the Device Manager scan your PC again for any hardware change and for sure it will now detect your Huawei Mobile Connect - 3G Modem. You can see it under the Modems group.
