Have new Vista but old Speedtouch330 -will they work?

[home102938]

Hi,
Just got and set up a new comp with Vista system.  Have my old wired modem speedtouch 330 which I still use with laptop(Win XP).
Question is - can I use tis modem with Vista? So far installation of the driver from CD did not work. 
Had a look on http://www.speedtouch.co.uk/330.asp and there are some "updates", one has word vista in it so I suppose that is the one to use(?) .
Not sure if it would work in practice though and I do not want to do something that may need "undoing"  . 

I know there are more up to date options for connecting to the internet and I will research them soon but for now would be happy to use what I got if its possible.  Any advice appreciated
Thanks
Stephanie

Try:

for the drivers, Stephanie. Set a restore point before installing them and then you can roll back easily if you need to. In the longer term, a router would be a better bet for you.

Hi Rik
What a speedy reply - thanks.

Used the download from the link you gave (meaning - got it ready to run), now I will have to learn about restore point and how to set it  never done it before and with the new comp....not much clue   (I know I was lucky so far not to have to use it on any of old comps!!!).
Cheers

I'm not a Vista person, Stephanie, so I'm not sure how you set sysrestore in that, but try this:

I wouldn't be a Vista person if I had a choice either.... suppose that shows my age in computer-use years!   
Thanks for the link. Off for some Karma now.....

Have fun.

Vista creates a restore point automatically before installing software of drivers.

Oh, and...

Thanks for that, Seb.

Thanks Sebby, full steam ahead for me then......

BTW That Vista girl sounds already too smart for my liking
