Try reinstalling active sync? or changing the usb port you use maybe?

I have that problem sometimes too with Vista Ultimate, I just unplug and replug once or twice and it picks up... I use mymobiler too.

I do the same thing, and am running XP Pro at work.

Try going to settings-> connections tab-> and selecting USB to PC and switching the settings or removing the check mark or whatever (basically you can choose 2 options... one is default. just select the opposite option) ... you'll see what i mean when you tap that icon... do it while the phone isn't connected to the PC and then reconnect it and that should work.

Settings-Connections-USB to PC and uncheck Enable advanced network functionality.

I had this problem too and after I unchecked the box I have never had a problem syncing.

The last suggestyion is very important in my book. Not clear to me what this advanced function is?

I have no idea either, but I do know that it causes a lot of problems with people syncing.

Mine detects the phone, for a while, then losses the connection and I usually have to unplug it and then plug it back in a few times before it picks it up again. The a few minutes later it starts all over again....maybe this will work for me too.....
