had the same problem, solution? Get a new/smaller usb cable!

Lol using my old backflip recognizes my captivate and works like a charm, after a while the long usb cable degrades.

Had the same problem on my laptop.
Happened after Win 7 SP1.
Strangely it only affects 3 USB ports on the right side. Not the single one on the left. :/

I tried the two on the right and the one on the left but still not working. i still get the option on my phone to mount it and such but nothing happens as usual. Ill try a different cable later today. My roommate has a captivate so when i go home ill try his cable and if that doesnt work then his computer and we shall see. thanks for the responses

I had the same problem. I tried multiple computers, cords, drivers. Nothing worked. Eventually I got a replacement cause it was still under warranty.
