I can't get my usb modem to work with it, once i plug it in i get the little bleep that mean's it's detected it, but a second after i get the other bleep that you get when you disconnect it.
Secondly, it refused to work today, only in safe mode, until i disconnected my USB mouse, it just shot into life all of a sudden.
Any computer experts out there wanna explain this to me?
TIA

are you using an old version of windows (I have had problems with a comp running win 98 using USB ports - even when the proper drivers have been installed)?
Is it one particular port? do you have the same problem if the mouse and the modem ports are swapped over?

I would like you to try only 2 thing to test this problem.
1.) First Unload then Reload modem driver with modem unplugged from port.Restart then plug it back in.
2.) Second make sure you have the proper "New" Usb cable in use.
If niether of these help then your USB modem has probably had minor lightning damage to it and you should replace it.

Sounds like a Bad Cable, or a Bad Port. test the device in a Different Port with a Different cable
I get the exact same problems with Faulty cables, or USB cables with Bent "Pins" or USB ports that are faulty
One Cheap Solution is a USB port

Your best bet is to go to the product company's web site and find their support or download section and download new drivers.
