Hi, the HP EliteBook 2740p I have has a data sim slot for mobile broadband.  I had a vodafone data sim which worked well, but due to 2 Degree's better value for money, changed to them.

However the 2 Degrees data sim seems to crash the HP Connection Manager software.

When you open connection manager, there is an error displayed "the inserted SIM is not recognized".  A Custom profile must be created.  The fields for APN etc are all blank.  I enter in "internet" in the APN field per 2 Degress support, click ok and the error:

"a fatal error occured, check the HP Connection Manager in Event Viewer for more details.
object reference not set to an instance of an object"

The connection manager quits. 

However, I can connect via the windows wireless connection, but due to the above cannot use the texting to top up the account etc.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
