I have been trying to tether my Vpad7 via USB to my laptop in order to access 3g internet while away on business. Manual says windows vista will install a driver on first time use and it does indeed try to but doesnt find one and there was no install disk provided with the Vpad7. I have asked the UK Viewsonic support team but they just quote the manual at me and say thats all thats needed and the US support team say its plug and play and doesnt need a driver installed! The manual says just set the Vpad for USB tethering and it will start to share the connection, subject to the necessary driver being installed on first time use - but that driver is nowhere to be found and the support teams have been no good at all. Has anyone tethered their Viewpad 7 via USB to laptop successfully? If so whats the trick?! Cheers, Paul
