Re: mobile broadband option icon 225

Hi RuneSky
I've just spent two hours round my friends house trying to solve the same problem. After two hours of trying absolutely everything....I was about to give up and then suddenly I cracked it. QED....got the thing working perfectly. Now the thing is I cannot remember exactly what I did but I can give you some clues.
I downloaded the software on my computer from the Orange site for Icon 225 business everywhere and that was a nightmare to get. I installed this on his computer but it made no difference because XP would not recognise that the modem was plugged in. ie It did not appear in My Computer. But when I went to Control Panel.....System.....Hardware....Device Manager.....Universal Serial Bus controllers...... it appeared with a yellow problem exclamation icon......I right clicked on this and then clicked properties. This is where it gets hazy. I'd been here before and nothing seemed to work. Whenever I tried to reinstall the drivers it always went back to the gt 72ubus.sys file needed. A never ending loop. But then I clicked on everything relating to install drivers in sight and found a box that said........gt 72ubus.sys (I think) and underneath....mass storage unit. I double clicked on this and hey presto the software started to load and I think that this was coming from the 225 plugged into the USB port and not from the software that I had installed. But I'm not sure about this. Anyhow it worked and my friend is as pleased as punch and I'm happy that my bone headed persistence has paid off I hope that this helps you too.
