I tried to connect to activestink for almost an hour last night. reset device, turned PC on and off. What a farkin' nightmare.

Finally, I unplugged it from one USB port and put it in another and voila it all worked. It may be, like in my case, the USB port is being persnickety. Try another port. If you have more than one to try.

This is the boot sequence I had:

1. Turn on computer, let it start up
2. Plug in USB cable into port
3. Plugged device into other end of USB sync cable.
4. Activestink automatically (sometimes) starts. Otherwise, start it manually and see if the device is recognized.
