quick question do you have windows vista or xp because it is important to know and make sure you have activesync 4.5 (Xp) or mobile device center (Vista) installede as well

[indianshaft]

I have vista, and I have windows mobile device installed, my computer shows that it is connected but windows mobile device doesn't recognize it, its weird. Because it did and then just stopped.

go to my computer and see if you can pull up mobile device if u cant on the phone go to start/settings/connections/usb to pc and check the box

[indianshaft]

That didn't work, it just tried to make me connect to the internet.

withactivesync it gives ur phone an ip address so check networkk connections and see if you if your getting an ip address make sure your not getting 169.254.xxx.xxx

Try to play around with the USB to PC application, it's somewhere located at the Start - Settings - System or at Start - Settings - Connections

had him try it already

[ilikepu]

well u can try to reinstall active sync/ WMDC

[indianshaft]

tryed that to, I have vista so I uninstalled windows mobile or whatever it is called and then connected the phone, nothing happened. Should I hard reboot the thing? If I do that will it still be unlocked?

[ilikepu]

yes it will still be unlocked but it might be something on the computer do u have service pack 1

I do have SP1 of vista on my comp. What do you think it might be?

[ilikepu]

i think its just sp1 because there were a lot of issues with sp1 that was one of them all i can say is try to restore vista without sp1 and it should work
