    Hey guys. I need help!

    I am unable to reinstall/uninstall the dell mobile broadband utility without getting a prompt for "files needed from a disk, please insert disc".

    The file it's asking for is "dell mobile broadband utility.msi"

    Everything was working fine until a while back .. My brother had a virgin mobile broadband2go thing and wanted to see how it worked, so i installed it on here.
    It used the same program as the onboard wwan and ever since then I get a C++ runtime error whenever i try to use the program.

    I'm trying to reinstall the program, but it keeps asking for a disc that contains files... it does the same thing when I'm trying to uninstall it.

    Also, i don't know why, but ever since the virgin mobile card was installed (and uninstalled) my wifi connections list says "verizon wireless" under my mobile connections, and i do not know how to get rid of this, as I normally connect to AT&T.
