Windows Mobile Device Center problem

[APHTCTouch]

Just found a method that allowed me finally connect to my Touch Pro2 using a cable. Was looking through applications on my phone, and found an ActiveSync program.

Plugged the phone into the computer, then launched the ActiveSync on the phone ("Start"--> "All Applications"--> "ActiveSync"). Windows Mobile Device Center found the phone in about five seconds.

The ActiveSync program on the phone closed after I disconnnected. Trying a second time to see if it worked, I plugged the phone in. Now, the phone shows me the popup for about a second, then it shows a status of syncing with the PC (which it had never done before). I hadn't even had the time to run the ActiveSync on the phone.

When plugging in before, I always got the popup for ActiveSync or disk drive, but never a sync status message. Seems to find it every time now, tried it five or six times, worked every time.
