USB wireless issue

[megabomination]

Hi gang. My usb modem HAS to be unplugged then plugged in for it to work?
Even if PC is off when I do this it will automatically start/connect when windows(7) loads and will work normally. If I don't do this I can not get it to work?
'device mngr' shows it as an 'unknown device'?
I have reinstalled it to no avail.

Are you talking about a modem or a usb network adapter?

Sorry Mark. A USB Modem.

A supported hotfix is available from Microsoft. You must apply this hotfix after restart your computer.
