    Hi there

    I just set up my laptop to dual boot with vista and xp. However I now have a yellow question mark displaying in device manager on xp with the name coprocesser next to it.

    I've done a google search and drawn a blank on this one so please could someone here advise me on what the coprocesser is and where I may find the driver for it.

    Also does anyone know of any free sites where I can get drivers (ones with a scan to tell you what your missing or need to update), all the sites I've seen require payment :(

    Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

    Acer Aspire 9302.

    But I've solved that problem. Now I have another problem - I've installed all the nvidia stuff and I have no yellow question marks in my device manager. But my USB HSDPA modem won't connect.

    It works fine in Vista, so I know it's an XP problem

    The error message I get is - Error 720: A connection to the remote computer could not be established.

    It was working fine when I was using it about 08:00 this morning but since about 10:00 I get the above error message.

    The USB modem is a Huawei E220. It's not an ISP problem but the ISP is Vodafone and T-Mobile - I have two but neither work and both give the same error message.

    I'd be most grateful if someone could shed some light on how to solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance for any help/advice :)

    Did you install XP drivers for your modem?

    Yeah, it installs itself, prior to putting on the Vista Transformation Pack it was working.

    I've since re-installed XP and that problem seems to have cured itself, I just keep getting an Error 619 now.

    I can cure that by taking out the USB Modem from the USB port and re-inserting it after 30secs or so, or reinstalling the software, bit of a hassle but I get the same problem in Vista as well so it's not OS related.

    More like the Huawei E220 USB HSDPA modem is rubbish...
