I just bought a USB dongle broadband EDVO adaptor from radio shack that is virgin mobile which in this area is a sprint network. I am going out of town for a day and wanted wireless broadband on my laptop.
according to the instruction you just put the usb dongle into a usb port and the pc will recognize it and the software drivers will begin to install.
I have a toshiba laptop with windows xp. it Will NOT install. the computer recognizes it as a "usb mass storage device".
then i get the windows usb install screen that says either use the internet to find software or a cd. this does not have a cd with it.
I disabled my firewall and antivirus too. rebooted more times than i care for but it still won't work. I spent 40.00 on service and 80.00 on the dongle.
virgin mobile phone support is pretty worthless since they never answer just automated voice prompts.
i may take this back. i know it must be a pc issue not the card but i don't know what more to do about it.
