Don't try to open it either as Vista would tell you that it is corrupted.<br /><br />SOLUTION:<br /><br />First you will need a removable storage device(portable hard disk, flash drive or sd card) to make this work. After you have secured yourself a removable storage drive insert your Huawei E220 into a PC not running Windows Vista,<br /><br />Go to My Computer, right click on the drive for your Huawei E220 and click Open.<br /><br />Copy all files and folder from your Huawei E220 to your removable storage device.<br /><br />Insert your removable storage device to your PC running on Windows Vista and open it.<br /><br />Click on the file Autorun.exe (it is seen by Vista as an application) and let it install the Mobile Connect.<br /><br />Restart your PC. After Windows Vista starts insert your Huawei E220, and Vista will start to install the drivers needed by the device.<br /><br />If it says that it has successfully installed the device drivers, run Mobile Connect it will detect the wireless device. Now create the profile as per Globe's instructions and click on connect. Note: you might need to restart the PC if your Huawei E220 is still not being seen by Mobile Connect.<br /><br />Try it. It worked for me, it could worked for you and if it does send me an email and spread the word, information should be free.Istikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13498380293390321798noreply@blogger.com4
