Vista - vista keeps crashing

Hi

I have a brand new computer running windows vista home premium. After I
installed my Speedtouch 330 modem I get the BSOD. Does anyone know of a
compatibility issue with this modem? My ISP is Orange (Wanadoo) but they are
pretty hopeless at helping.

And is there a tool, like the upgrade advisor, I can run or a webpage I can
visit to see what programmes/drivers are or are not compatible?

Buy a hardware router with ADSL modem bulit-in, then connect computer to
it with standard ethernet cable. Best solution available, because no
driver is necessary and router provide increased security because of
address translation and built-in firewall. And no more crappy Speedtouch
around.

Well, certainly there are those more responsible than others, and
they will be held accountable, but again, truth be told, if you're
looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Thanks Mike. I'll download it now.

Hello Andrea

That's a thought. Presumably the ISP won't have an issue with me using a
router and not their suggested Speedtouch modem?

Of course won't.
