IBM ThinkPad R40 2722 Notebook Logo
Anonymous Posted on Apr 26, 2009

I purchased Compaq Presario CQ40 Notebook / laptop and installed both XP + Vista operating systems. I purchased Idea Net Setter data card for internet facility (USB STICK-MODEL-EG1626- EDGE/GPRS/GSM AIR INERFACE). XP is unable to detect the same, while the Vista is detecting and operating very well. OS has been formatted twice, but, my problem was not solved. But, this data card is working well in other systems with XP OS both in laptops and desktops. I could not find out the reason for failure. A number of engineers tried to solve the problems, but showed their unability. I further humbly request that would you please give me the solution for this problem without asking me to format again. I shall ever be grateful to your, Honour, Sir,. Email: [email protected]. Phone contact No; +91-9849408030. System Information: OS Name:-Microsoft® Windows Vista?

Your computer may simply be unable to run 2 operating systems. On the odd occasion the main OS usually the newest one in this case vista is running in the background and interfering with kernel operations even if you have selected "Previous version of windows" the 1 and only solution i know of is to not only re-format XP but Vista also.

the website above MIGHT be able to find driver needed but i dont think it is a driver problem.
This may be the only way- do this first
