You may also have to go to "device manager" and remove V300. I had the
same problem with my initial install and the only way for me to get a
clean install was for me to actually remove V300 from the "device manager".

To the original poster: This is one of those types of installs where
you NEED to follow the instruction to a T, or the whole thing will not work.

Good luck,

Yes, I was very careful to make sure I did :-) In fact, it did work
very briefly - I got the v300 image and backed up my phone book, but
couldn't transfer images or mp3s. After that, I kept getting "no
modem installed" errors when I tried to connect. It was after that
that I uninstalled everything and tried again (and tried on different
systems, with fresh installs) with no luck.

I used the demo version that came on the CD with the v300, so I would
assume that it was the correct version. I'll check on that, though.

I've had the same problem. Restart the phone and change the driver to
one from
ftp://ftp.ealaddin.com/pub/hasp/new_...r/Hinstall.zip.

Good luck!

Thanks, I'll try that. I had it working, or at least I thought I did
- removed *everything* related to the phone from my XP drive,
reinstalled and it worked! Tried it again the next day, and it didn't
work no more :-( It really seems as though it only works the first
time after it's been installed, which doesn't really make much sense.

I'll try the driver you suggested, and see how that goes!
