Installing Smart Bro & Globe Visibility on the same PC

The latest HSDPA 3G modem from Smart Bro and Globe Visibility were manufactured by ZTE in China. Both are practically plug-and-play devices. The problem is running both softwares (3G dialers) on the same PC.

Since the device are practically similar, the system sees the two as a single device thus overwriting each others system settings. The Smart Bro model is MF622 and the Globe Visibility is MF626, making the latter the much newer model.

Incidentally, the newer device drivers from ZTE would not work with the older model used by Smart Bro. In fact, Globe Visibility takes over the Smart Bro installation folder in the Program Files.

In order for the Smart Bro HSDPA modem to work, one has to un-install the Globe Visibility software/drivers first. So, if you are using both, it’s a headache to switch from one service to another.

Was wondering if anyone out there has encountered this and was able to isolate the cause of the problem.

    How about installing 2 OS on your PC, (i.e.,XP and 7 or Vista) then use one modem on each OS. When you need the other modem just reboot to the other OS which has it. This way the drivers don’t get into each other.

    04/24/2011 PLS HELP!! E155 Crashes when plugged in to Windows 7 ultimate (laptop)

    I have a Globe Tattoo HUAWEI model E155 driver installed in my laptop (OS Windows 7 Ultimate). It worked perfectly until I had someone configured the modem with Smart and Ultrasurf to have an unlimited web browsing..

    It worked for about a week. I had no issues with it until yesterday when I was trying to install an aplication, “Connectify” (www.connectify.me).
    I was able to download the application, clicked RUN and while installing it, I received an SMS thru my modem (Smart Buddy SIM) and all of a sudden, the display turned BLUE( says “crashing dump at the very bottom) and restarted my laptop..

    At first, I thought it was my OS that crashed but it didn’t do the problem after restarting it until I connected the USB again.
    Globe dashboard worked okay, detecting signal but when I click “CONNECT” it says:

    >opening port
    >authenticating
    > all device connected
    then it CRASHES again…

    I did several troubleshooting steps:
    1. uninstalled Globe broadband and Connectify
    2. Restarted my laptop
    3. Reinstalled Globe Huawei
    4. Restarted
    5. Tried to connect but did the same problem..

    Please help!
