Hauwei E220 Modem not recognized by windows

Asked By Cunningham Stevenson 0 points N/A Posted on - 12/15/2013

Hi there,

I am using windows 8 on Dell Latitude E6400, I have been using this Hauwei E220 Modem with GSM simcard for browsing over a week now, this evening, windows could not  recognize the modem but shows it as  flash drive, the connection software will indicate the modem is unrecognized or not connected to the computer, Modem drivers are okay. What could be the problem? how do I fix this since fresh install of windows is not working? (the Modem works fine with my friend's computer)

Hauwei E220 Modem not recognized by windows

Hi !

You must have to know that your modem is not compatible with Windows 8 at least this what it says on the official Huawei site. It only works with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista at this moment. But you will have this problem in the future on one of those three OS I will show you how to repair it. First make sure that your driver is up to date . Then uninstall  "USB Mass Storage" by accessing "Device Manager" and in the last install your modem again.
