3 Mobile Broadband Dongle... About to end up out the window...

[BBBE99]

Hi,
I upgraded my PC to Windows 7 after the glitches of Windows Vista driving me to my wit's end.
However, we use a broadband dongle (By 3 if it matters) that has stopped working.
I go on the '3 Connect' page and there is no connection (And there's usually three blocks...), and after un-installing, re-installing and pre-un-redo-installing many times... Nothing...

Why won't it work?
I need the dongle to get drivers for my sound card and graphics card.

And if anyone's wondering, I'm using a different computer--But still the same dongle--and everything works...
Thanks in advance,
BB

Also, I believe my computer is fairly capable of going online, it probably just doesn't know how yet...

I'm getting something from the 3 website, but after what's been happening over the day (Yes, it's been that long), I don't expect much...

Fingers crossed...

Still open for suggestions, though...

Maybe you are having the same problem I did,It turned out to be a conflict with another programme that was on the computer(ulead by the way.)There is s list of troublesome programs on the help page of the dongle.
Took me a few hours to find that out,the dongle only just survived getting stamped on.
Good luck

I managed to solve this problem by going to the icon you use to launch '3 Connect'...

Right-click > Properties > Compatability tab.

Then choose "Run this program in compatability mode for" and choose either Windows Vista or Windows XP.

Hope this helps!
