    Hi, my uncle had his computer wiped in a computer shop caus of viruses etc but since he got it back the 3g modem software wont work. The software will install but when you click on the desktop shortcut a pop comes up saying "cannot open data file". ive tried reinstalling it a few times to no avail, anyone else come across this problem? Thanks for any help

    Have you tried contacting Vodafone data support?

    I've actually found them really helpful whenever I've had a problem that i couldn't sort myself?

    does the shortcut disappear off the desktop when you uninstall?

    try opening from your start menu in case it's a dead link...

    Is the data file an xml file?

    I'm having this issue with a laptop in work and one of the other techs found that the .net 3.5 service pack 1 is causing the problem. Something to do with the XML parser, I haven't looked in to it much yet but we uninstalled it from add/remove programs and the vodafone software is working again! Have to find out a fix for it as the .net service pack will keep installing and breaking the current vodafone software :/
