I have Windows XP SP2 and recently installed a Verizon Broadband wireless USB modem on my desktop pc (it's a Dell). It won't boot up if the modem's connected, even after changing the boot sequence and if I connect the modem once my desktop screen comes up, Windows crashes. I have to connect the modem as Windows is loading. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the modem software twice with no luck. It's more of a nuissance than anything else. I have no problems connecting to the internet or surfing for that matter, the only thing I noticed is when I doubleclick on VZAccess MGR to launch the program, I get 2 computer icons in my desktop tray with red x's on them. I did post this same problem under wireless issues, probably by mistake since this seems to be a conflict with my pc wanting to still boot off of the modem. Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated!


Apparently there are other hardware solutions. This is one of
the more convoluted ones.
