Thinkpad T60 / E160 USB modem / Error 720

thepearce

I'm just posting this here to take advantage of MSE's search rankings in the hope that someone may find this useful in the future. I' ve found the solution to my issue after many hours and many failed "fixes".

I have a Thinkpad T60 and an E160 USB modem (o2). The two don't seem to get on. I kept getting Error 720 and while I had some idea in what area the problem lay I could not fix it (regedit - the lot).

Here's the original post by "harvest" which explains all :


I hunted for months for a solution to this problem RAS error code 720.

I have a Thinkpad T60 and about six months ago was suddenly unable to use my Vodafone Vodem so I tried my old Vodafone card modem and it wouldn't work either. Even tried my Sony phone with a cable and it wouldn't work. When I've travelled for the last six months I have had to take my old T42 with me and all the modems work fine with that laptop.

I have tried many solutions to this and wasted countless hours.

Today I finally found a tiny free program called rarepair.exe - do a search and you can easily find it but I got it from here

Click on it and it removes all your network drivers, reboots your machine, reinstalls the drivers and then does a second reboot.

Everything was restored perfectly. I would have paid serious money for this as it has saved me from doing a fresh XP install which would have taken weeks to get everything reinstalled.

Please copy this to any sites you have visited while trying to find a solution.

Microsoft couldn't fix this problem - or pretended it didn't exist. Lenovo are in denial that it exists.
