BACKUP your system before using this procedure.  I suggest Norton
Ghost.

Go to device manager.  Computer.  you should see MPS multiprocessor.
Right click. Properties. Driver tab. Update driver. Next. Select the radio
button which shows Display a list. Next. Show All. Select MPS
Uniprocessor. Next. Yes. Next.  Reboot.

A better solution is to replace the USB modem and get one that
uses Ethernet.  You're affecting the operation of the rest of your PC
for the sake of a bad product.  You're wasting the extra CPU.  
The CPU cost more than the modem.  And you're more likely to
have problems with USB drivers as new support packs comes 
from Microsoft than with Ethernet drivers.
