USB Device Not Recognized

[Alpine-]

I had an issue like this OP (Vista 64bit too). I was using the USB port on my front bezel of my case which connects via separate cheap 3rd party cables to the connectors on the actual motherboard. My motherboard is newer than my case and uses latest USB 2.0 spec (but all are backwards compatible). I doubt the case cables were this same standard. As soon as I stopped using the front case bezel port and switched to the rear USB port (directly on the mobo) all my issues cleared up instantly. Oddly enough, the Mogul worked just fine. It seems to be the TP that is picky...

My Tp never shows up so I normally go to device manager and the diasble it ( it normally the only one with a exclamation under usb) and then I enable it and it pops right up.

I was just having the same problem. I've been plugging my Touch Pro into the front USB port on my Dell XP64 workstation with no problems since November. Today, it synced up just fine, then dropped the connection a few minutes later. Nothing I did would get it to connect again, either with ActiveSync or disk mode. Soft reset, uninstall/reinstall ActiveSync, swap cables, swap ports (on the front of the case)... nothing worked until I read the above post. I plugged into the rear USB port (the one coming straight off the motherboard) and ActiveSync immediately popped up. Now I'm connected again. Bizzare.

what i used were these instructions when i couldnt get it to recognize. the instructions are for win 7 beta, but i had to use them in Vista as well.

t is important that you install Windows Mobile Device Center before connecting your device to your PC. However if you have already connected your device and received the Driver failed to install error message, you can resolve the issue by removing the devices generic RNDIS driver entry from Device Manager.

• Disconnect your device for your PC
• From the start Menu open the control panel
• Select “Hardware and Sound” then “Device Manager”
• Now connect your device to you PC so that the associated driver shows up under “Network adapter”
• Right click on the driver and select Uninstall

At this point disconnect your device, install WMDC if you haven’t already done so and the reconnect your device. WMDC should recognize the device and complete the driver install.
