Equipment is a less-than-year-old custom computer running Vista Home Premium with an otherwise simple but standard installation of software and hardware. It has performed excellently until recently. Without warning the system now fails to boot without first unplugging our Huawei modem. With modem plugged in the usual splash screen appears then the mysterious two-letter codes lower-right of screen. At "EB" it stalls. At one time a message something like, "equipment recently plugged in or unplugged should be restored ... " etc. But it did not say how to fix the problem for good. By elimination I found that it was the modem that needed to be unplugged.

Hi, Spodge, Occasionally , my modem fails to lock into the web, The fix is to remove the power supply and wait for 1 minute before plugging back in. It then re-installs itself and works fine for a month or two.
