Hi guys, I had a new problem earlier today from I have usualy found to be a straight forward job. I reinstalled a system together with the drivers for a BT Voyager 100 adsl modem (from AOL - yeah I know! lol)
However upon trying to install the drivers I get the following error .. 'error loading newdev.dll - it has been detected that you do not have admin privilages, please log off your computer and log on as a user with admin rights'
Obviously I have admin rights but even if I logged off and then back on as administrator it still makes no difference. I've search all over the web and been at this for 6-7 hours now with no success. The system is Windows XP home, SP3 with 512 Mb ram installed. So far I've checked the version of newdev.dll by running a system file check, tried using the normal drivers from the BT voyager site but nothing gets past this error .. frankly I've run out of idea's.
anybody come across this before or have a solutions I'd be very grateful ..

The newdev.dll is something to do with SP3 being installed, however if you try with SP2 you will get the Can't Open Bitmap and still you will be frustrated.

If you have SP2 installed you will recieve the error <Can't Open Bitmap> this is when you use the older newdev.dll (2146). If you install SP3 you will get the error <you need admin rights to run unistaller> this is with then newest newdev.dll (5512)

If you download this file it has both NEWDEV.DLL versions, you will need to restart you PC in safe mode to replace the DLL file then restart, see if you can get it to work I didn't and gave up in the end I even tried the installer for the modem also included all without any luck.
In the end I removedall traces of the driver using the jv16pt v1.0.0.124 FREEWARE version, the 2009 version is about £25 but if you like the free one the latest will impress you as you can remove services and control panel shortcuts. Hope this helps you
