san Sanz,
Try installing the drivers for your modem in compatibility mode.
You can do this by following the below instructions:
· Enter the Start screen
· Move your mouse to the bottom left of the screen to expand the Charms section
· Select Search
· Type Compatibility
· Click Settings in the right column
· Click Run programs made for previous versions of Windows
· Then follow the prompts and direct the troubleshooter to the installer for your computer's driver.
Please post back with your results.
Thanks,

Hello san Sanz,
Do you get any message when inserting the USB Stick?
Do the drivers install for the USB Stick?
Have you tried a different USB port?
Does the USB stick show up in Device Manager?Please let us know.
