Using Free's FreeBOX with Vista - how?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Been using my Freebox (v4) quite happily for about 3 years using xp, now I have Vista on the pc it doesn't seem to recognise the box, in xp it would recognise as a plug and play and ask for the install disc, but nothing like that with Vista. If I put the installation disc in it doesn't like it, some kind of 'access denied' message. If anyone has got it working or know how I would love to hear, thanks.

how are you connecting the PC with the freebox?

USB cable (white cable), ethernet cable (yellow cable) or wifi (wireless = no cable!) ?
Ethernet cable is easiest as you do not need to install anything.

Have you tried connecting the cable and then restarting your PC?

I just reread your post and from your mention of plug and play, I assume that you have been using the USB cable. If you have an ethernet port on the PC, then use that instead. It does not need any disc to install drivers from and the transfer of data is quicker than USB too.
