But you /can/ get those options from the three.co.uk APN if you use the My3 tab on http://mobile.three.co.uk/ (By My3 I assume you're referring to http://www.three.co.uk/my3) > Once I was back accessing my3 from a different ISP I could see all the > options again (?5/topupp, 90 days credit remaining etc.) Interestinger and interestinger....

As reported earlier, it's fine on my desktop PC - which has a virtually identical setup to the laptop - but that's not the one I want to use it with! When I connect it to the laptop, and it tries to load the relevant drivers etc., and as soon as it gets to the part of the Composite USB device which thinks it's a CD drive - bingo - BSOD and (usually) auto re-boot. (Sometimes it just hangs). As others have suggested, I've run Registry Mechanic and cleaned out all the redundant dross from the registry - all to no avail. I *can* get it to work on the laptop if I do a clean install of XP on a different HD, but that runs like a dog - presumably because it's using generic drivers for all the laptop hardware rather than optimised ones supplied by HP/Compaq. Also, it would take for ever to load all the MS patches plus AVG and ZA and all my applications - after which there's no guarantee that I wouldn't end up with the same problem. I need to find out what's wrong with my *existing* setup, and fix that - but I'm stuck for ideas. Any further (sensible!) suggestions will be very welcome. -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..
