I think I've tried every fix suggested so far & still can't get this to take on a laptop running XP 32 bit.
Per the FAQ all updates are installed: http://www.tetherberry.com/faqs#driverfailed
Network adapters were are disabled during install attempt.
Registry key is there (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce), a manual install of qrkis.inf failed (error: The system cannot find the file specified) as well as the beta.

It installed fine on a desktop but won't on the laptop where I need it.
Any suggestions before I apply for a refund?

Could you try uninstalling Tether and install the BlackBerry
Smartphone USB drivers at the following site:

Once it has been completely installed please install Tether.

Option 2, installing the USB drivers, rebooting and installing Tether has failed as well.

Can you try using the add hardware wizard to install it manually?

The inf file is located in your c:\program files\Tether directory as qrkis.inf

I've tried that after each failed installation and get the same results.
"a manual install of qrkis.inf failed (error: The system cannot find the file specified)"
