Vista Modem Driver - Motorola Q Forum

TheBigCheese · 05-07-2007, 11:20 PM

I want to use my Q as a modem to dial-up MSN. My laptop runs Vista and when I set the Q for modem use and attach it to the laptop via USB, Vista can not find a modem driver.

Is there a driver somewhere? I found a Windows 2000 INF file for download that claimed to work with Vista but I got an error message about missing programs.

If I attach the Q not as a modem, I can access it from the laptop BTW.

Did you check on the disc that came with your Q? That should have the modem drivers. Its going to be a *.inf file. Nothing you plug into a Windows PC will install properly with the factory MS drivers...lol

The disk does not have drivers that are visible, only install programs for XP and below.

When I Synced with my laptop(running Vista Premium) I had no problems with drives. I didnt even need Active Sync just opened My Computer and it was sitting there.

I have no problems with sync but when I activate modem on the Q, Vista wants to install the modem driver and can not find it.
