Try opening a Command Prompt and type "net stop ehsched" there. Then try
your bank program. Does it work now?
"ehsched" is the service which downloads the EPG for Media Center. Thus, it
is possible that it keeps a hande on the modem.
You could do the following as a workaround:
Create a TEXT file in Notepad and type into it:
@echo off
net stop ehsched
cd /d <Driver Letter and Path of your bank program directory>
<name of the bank program executeable>.exe
net start ehsched
Then save this e.g. as "BankProgram.cmd" and create a shortcut on your
desktop to this file. When you use this shortcut, it will stop the ehsched
service, run the bank program and restart the ehsched service when you exit
the bank program.
