Problems Installing New Speedtouch 330 Drivers on WinXP SP1

Trying to install the new version 3.0.0 driver for my Speedtouch 330 USB
ADSL modem on Windows XP pro with SP1, the Installshield freezes with a
reference to phonebook.ini. Driver does not install & I have to close the
Installshield with Windows Task Manager.

Tried many times with same result. System is virus-free.

Is this a new install? Do you have an existing copy of phonebook.ini -
if not you can get one here: http://www.farina1.com/phonebook.ini

I`ve got the v2.0.1.2 drivers online if they`re of any use (see below)

ISTR the phonebook.ini is a fairly common problem, but can`t remember the
solution i`m afraid... There`s a line in the manual that says "copy the
upgrade software to a location on your HD. Copy the phonebook.ini from
your *original* Speedtouch USB CD to the same location on your HD" -
whether this will sort things out for you, I don`t know !

Do you have older drivers that work, and its just the updated drivers
that fail to install ?

Anyway, if you want to grab the drivers i`ve got, ftp to:

site : phoenixbbs.ath.cx
login: speedtouch
pword: drivers

Download the stuff loose in the root directory - the "speedtouch cd"
directory is simply a copy of my Pipex install CD with older drivers.

You could always use the phonebook.ini out of there for now if your
original one has been lost :-}

Good luck :-}

There`s nothing as boring as bible bashing for the general population,

Hi Colin,

Many thanks for your help but I already have the 2.0.1 drivers & a copy of
the phonebook.ini file

Can you give more exact details of the error?
Have you tried uninstalling the old drivers before installing the new
ones? - but watch out if you can't reinstall!
