Vodafone Mobile Connect - Device not present



Problem: Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite Huawei find no device

This error was on two PCs.
On one pc this helped:
http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/mobilebroadband/3696752-vodafone-mobile-connect-lite-on-windows-7-anyone.html?fpart=2&vc=1

Run - cmd:
Type  cd %windir%\system32
type regsvr32 vbscript.dll into the Command Prompt and hit Enter

On another it didn't help
but there was another software Tele 2 Mobile - after deinstall, Vodafone started to work.
However user said that Tele2 and Vodafone worked fine, which means that  vbscript.dll trick might helped and also this: 
to reinstal software
to remove it and install the newest version
http://www.business.vodafone.com/download/getFmlDoc.do?docId=f671eed8-2cd1-48d2-bcbe-0b2280484cac
(9.4 version as opposed to 9.3)
then,
and to remove modems which were marked as not "present" (in Control panel - Phone and Modem).

After Tele 2 software was removed, and PC restarted - it complained that it can't find drivers for Vodafone data etc.
Drivers are in Program files, in Vodafone folder, under drivers folder - it should be stated so during installation of drivers because for some reason it doesn't know where it's own drivers are.

No display after BIOS

Problem: There is no picture after POST

Changing monitors, graphic card didn't help, neither to repair windows.

It helped to back up data (with ERD Commander cd disk),
and then to format. Obviously, Windows was the problem and even restore to defaults ie repair didn't solved the problem.
