Unrecognized USB device during ActiveSync (helmi's WM6)

[pcpal01]

Had the same problem many time and this is what I do.

1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.
2. Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1, and then press ENTER.
3. Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC, and then press ENTER.
4. Click View, and then click Show Hidden Devices.
5. Expand all trees one at a time and do the following.
6. Right-click the all dimmed devices, and then click Uninstall.

The unrecognized USB device error came up again on me. Out of the blue. I tried the above (however on point 6, I only uninstalled the "unknown USB" devices, not every type of greyed out device.)

USB device recognised now ... weird ! But at least its a windows XP problem, not a windows mobile problem.
