    Windows 7 driver for Verizon Wireless UM175 modem

    I have recently got a new Verizon Wireless UM175 modem by Pantech and I a looking for its driver that is compatible with my Windows 7 machine. When I try to install the VZAccess Manager software that came in the CD with the modem then it is giving me a message that states "OS not Supported" and the driver will not install on my computer. Can anyone tell me whether this modem is even compatible with Windows 7 or not? Thanks

    There is a method to install the modem's driver in your pc. You will need to go to the software folder where the VZAccess Manager software is kept and then open the drivers folder from it. After that right click on the Setup.exe file and choose Compatibility mode. Now you need to choose either Windows XP or Vista in the check box and then click on Setup.exe again and it will install the Verizon Wireless UM175 modem driver sucessfully.

    I can confirm that the above solution works pretty well. The problem with the drivers if that it is still not Windows 7 ready and Verizon has not updated their driver till yet that is compatible with the new operating system. The version of the software that is working with this method is 6.10.10-2247b which came along with the UM175 modem.

    Verizon have now released the 7.9.1.0 (2806c) version of VZAccess Manager software that is comapatible with Windows 7, you can download it from here. You dont have to follow the above method to install driver for Verizon Wireless UM175 modem in compatibility mode. Simply download this file and just double click on the setup.exe and follow the onscreen options to install the software. What is even better, they have also released drivers of this modem for Windows 8.
