I have searched a bit for you and found just a few people how had that problem, but the discussions did not come up with a solution either.

Though I run a vista, I have noticed some odd behavior at times, too. For instance, it seems to dedicate a certain USB port to a single syncing device.

In your case, it might have just dedicated the USB port to the other phone or device used before. So you might want to try another port.

Another solution is to sync via bluetooth. When my ports act up, that's how I connect. Flawlessly!

What you need for that is either an internal or external Bluetooth receiver. Mine came with a mouse & keyboard. Then you set up a partnership.

It's really easy on the pohne after it's set up: Just activate your bluetooth; open your AS app and choose: Sync via Bluetooth.

I believe you can purchase these bluetooth receivers for pretty cheap. They're just a little dongle. And you can sync your phone fast from almost anywhere in the room.
