Wireless Manager attempts to start before all of the drivers are installed. The reason this
occurs is the New Hardware Wizard is still busy installing the 3 device drivers. The Wireless

Wireless Modem installed to run this application. Please install a GC79 Wireless Modem and
try again”. If this occurs:
