Note:

If you are prompted to reboot the laptop during software installation, you may find that the Wireless Manager attempts to start before all of the drivers are installed. The reason this occurs is the New Hardware Wizard is still busy installing the 3 device drivers. The Wireless Manager splash screen appears, followed by a warning dialog saying “You must have a GC79 Wireless Modem installed to run this application. Please install a GC79 Wireless Modem and try again”. If this occurs:

1.Click Ok.

2.Wait for the New Hardware Wizard to complete the driver installation.

3.Reboot the laptop.

4.Start the Wireless Manager using the icon on the desktop or via Programs Sony Ericsson Wireless Manager.
