Alternative Solution
When installing a new modem you get the following error message:
Error loading newdev.dll
Then…
Administrator privileges are required to install, uninstall or configure the DSL software
Visit the manufacturer of the modems website and try to find the latest drivers for the new modem
For some users, there appears to be an incompatibility issue with Internet Explorer 8 and drivers for some modems, you can try uninstalling IE8 and then install the modem drivers again.
The problem appears to be restricted to BT Voyager and USB modems.
If you need a browser we recommend not using IE8, and use Firefox instead, it’s both safer and faster than IE8, but you can, in most cases, reinstall IE8 after you have successfully installed the modem and its drivers.
