Vista - Modem Drivers Incompatible? HELP!!

I have USB BT Voyager 105 Modem and when I install drivers from CD the OS
check says Windows version incompatible...
When I install the drivers from a download from BT it gets near the end of
the installation and then stops and reports that the drivers couldn't be
installed and then reverses the installation..!

Can anybody help me with this? I cant get online in Vista until the drivers
are installed

Thanks in advance

Hmm... have you tried installing from the Device Manager MMC console? Simply
right click on the Unknown Network Controller (or whatever it's called), and
Update Driver and see if that helps. A lot of the time when an installation
of a driver fails, it's sometimes because of the installer itself - most of
the time the drivers actually work.

If not, contact BT and see if they have any Vista drivers coming or out
already )

Im using a BT voyager usb modem and it works after about the 4th attempt,
however I it wont let me set it as the default connection, oh well at least
its working for now.

Thats great MKW, but how exactly did you do it????

Were you installing to 32 bit or 64 bit, what was the Build number for
Vista, etc.

I'm sure every Voyager user in the world are just gagging to know!!!!!

Kind regards, Algypalgy

you can say that again !! :-)

I got my Voyager Classic modem working once - after hours of struggling -
with Beta 2, but RC1 is not having any. It installs OK (not from the disc,
but from drivers downloaded onto hard-drive) but I cannot actually connect.

NB BT are NO help at all (surprise, surprise !!!)

I get the impression that Vista wants to be connected via Ethernet.
