Huawei Mobile Connect HSDPA E160 causes Windows XP to hang

Hi

I have a Huawei Mobile Connect HSDPA E160 (Broadband modem) running on Windows XP Sp2. After finishing to browse with it, sometimes it causes 3 problems:

1) Windows explorer hangs & consequently most programs associated with it
2) Windows refuses to shut down, i.e. When you click shut down, or restart, it appears to start shutting down, but just stops at some point and doesn't actually shut down.
3) When I connect the modem, it usually adds to USB devices to the system tray. When you try to eject the device via these usb icons, they just don't eject.

I've tried to research online and I'm getting a feel it has something to do with Windows XP, USB port conflicts and the modem.

Anyone can help me shed light on what I can do? I recently downgraded from Windows XP SP3 to SP2.

Your device is E160 & they are discussing E220 & E170 but I have a gut feeling. Do go through this thread & see if you are experiencing the same issues.

Its a good solution, though I think the modem has an inherent issue with Win XP.
