Please help, I didn't realize there was an update until I just recently while on vacation and can't use my BB with the new Tether service. I have a BB 8330 with Windows XP Home svc pk 3. I disabled my wireless as requested, registered my program and nothing works. BB says "tether is running" and pc says " connected to BB". Please help if you have any suggestions.

Thanks. Stranded on vacation without internet :( I'm using my BB to type this

Try removing the battery from your BlackBerry for a moment, place battery back into your phone and try Tether again.

If this does not work could you run Tether, click USB, click view log and provide any errors messages you may see.

I tried the above with no sucess. There r no logs because I have never been able to connect. Can't I get a copy of the old tetherberry program again until all the buts r out of this new program?

First could you ensure your running the latest BlackBerry OS revision by visiting your BlackBerry providers website and checking. If you aren't please update your BlackBerry OS and try Tether again.

Alternatively I can provide you with links to the older software that may resolve the issue your experiencing, note that you will be asked to update on your BlackBerry each time you launch Tether...select No.

Could you uninstall Tether by following these steps from your BlackBerry Smartphone:

1) Click Options -> Advanced Options -> Applications

2) Highlight the Tether in the list of applications

3) Press the BlackBerry Menu button

4) Select Delete

5) Remove battery from your BlackBerry for one minute, replace battery and let device boot

Once the Tether application has been uninstalled and your device has rebooted, install Tether again by visiting one of the following backup links through the default BlackBerry Browser:

Tether for BlackBerry (version 1.1.0.2) = http://tether.com/t/backups/1.1.0.2/tether.jad

Tether for BlackBerry (version 1.1.0.4) = http://tether.com/t/backups/1.1.0.4/tether.jad
