I just got my Vista laptop on 10/19/07 and the Sierra card refused to work, even with the latest 3G Watcher. The solution for me was to upgrade the firmware. It's working perfectly now. Thanks Thiti for the link. Thanks for all for this VERY useful page. I just got my Vista laptop on 10/19/07 and the Sierra card refused to work, even with the latest 3G Watcher.

While I have not tried to use watcher with Vista, I can tell you that the Sierra Wireless version works MUCH better than the one we provide. Don't know why that is, but it does. I know our Customer Service can be a bit lacking sometimes, but there are good people within the company that can help. Finding that person might leave a bit to be desired. Tough on employees, too.
