How do I set the conenction to use 3G only? Although Vista detects my Novatel U740 card without problems and a normal GPRS connection works fine, I struggle to connect with 3G... Any ideas?

[Dialer 3gonly]

Init4 = AT+COPS=0,0,"Vodacom-SA",2

You can use HyperTerminal or so to set the mode. Once it's set, you should have that as the default mode until the card is reset :)
 
I now installed the latest and greatest, official Vista Enterprise edition and still get IE7 crashing when trying to send a mail on Microsoft Webmail....

At least it's consistent, had it on RC-1, RC-2, RTM and now this version. :( Everytime a clean install on a newly formatted drive.

If someone knows how to fix this, PM me and I'll be forever grateful!


(And yes, I know the actual answer is FF2 ;), but at least MS products should work with itself!)

See what you mean regarding sending mail problems from OWA using IE7 on Vista RTM b6000. Mine doesn't crash, just shows a X where the editor box should be on new msg, reply etc.

Havent needed to do more than a quick mail check on OWA for a while ... since started using Outlook 2007. 2007's 'RPC over HTTP' connectivity is as quick and slick as native 'Netbois over IP', so can connect with real Outlook to my company's Exchange server no matter what the firewalling/proxy environment is, without VPN, as long as https is allowed.

I believe the fix for OWA & IE7 is a server side patch together with the re-downloading of S/MIME control from Options page of OWA. Ask your IT guys to investigate.

Back to the topic ... anyone managed to get a Huawei E220 runing under Vista RTM? Mine refuses to see it as anything other than a USB Mass Storage Device, even after loading the latest 'normal' Huawei drivers from their website (which work fine under XP).

Before you load the S/MIME control under Options, you get the X on the reply, new message, etc.

After you load the S/MIME control, you can now create a new message but as soon as you hit the 'Send' button, it crashes.

Wil follow up on the Server side patch, tx!

Installed Vista RTM on a fresh disk, all nice and clean. Use IE7 to open a Microsoft Webmail Outlook site and...it crashes IE7.

I've had this exact symptom from RC1 onwards and everytime I'm told the next release fixes it.

So using a MS OS to run a MS browser to access a MS service, crashes!

All other apps seem to run fine.

So much for testing your own product...

hhmmm.... must be a server-side.
I have used IE7 since beta1 and not ONCE has my browser crashed when using OWA.
I am now using IE7, full release, which still works.

I've had the same problem as v3g on both XP as well as Vista. MS has officially released patches because of changes in IE7 that causes problems with the OWA. However these patches needs to be loaded on the Exchange Web Service. Our IT department just spent a week updating our client as the automatic rollout of IE7 caused problems all over.

However there is some cases where it didn't cause problems and worked fine. Not sure what the reason for this was but we had problems with at least 80% of our client installations using Web Outlook.

I resolved it by forcing the company to put me on VPN ;)
