Vista and connecting to internet

I have bought new computer with Windows Vista Home Premium installed. Unable
to connect to Internet using driver supplied with modem. ISP(Orange) sent me
an upgraded driver which stopped at the 4th stage and would not go any
further.
Complained to ISP who then sent me a LiveBox. The driver for this also
stopped at the fourth stage. Orange were contacted and after 2 hours on the
phone they decided it must be a line fault and would have it checked by BT.
Since I can still connect to internet on my old computer and modem it cant be
a line fault. Im still waiting for the result of the line check
Can any one help me connect to the internet

The modem is not compatible with Vista. Try another Modem.

Problem solved. Fauilt detected on BT line socket which only affected
Broadband connection. Nothing to do with vista or modem.
