Ok well I've had enough of both the Huawei and Vodafone software and dashboards! I kept having conflits, PC took long to find the device and the **** took toooooooo long to connect:

My solution:
1> Copied the folder called DRIVERS in "c:\program files\Huawei"
2> Formatted and re-installed XP Sp2.
3> Connected the device, unistall "USB Storage Device" from Device Manager.
4> Unplug and replug device and then driver wizzard comes up.
5> Point to the DRIVERS folder you backed up. Poiint to the folder both times the wizzard appears.
7> Set the APN in advanced properties of modem.
6> Create a normal windows dialup connection and you sorted!

No more rubbish auto running software. Device is picked up within 10 seconds. Connects within 5 seconds. Its running beautifully!

If you wish to monitor signal strength etc...you can use the app by ginggs:

I use the app now and then and works great with above method ;)

Hope it helps someone having trouble with the **** dashboards!
