try this. click start-settings-connections-usb to pc, then uncheck or check the box under activesync. i had the same problem and that fixed it.

I just installed wmdc
on an early beta last year sometime. It seems to have worked. But I haven't tried activesync to see if microsoft has it bundled in the final RTM version...I should check

it's not bundled in final rtm. when i pluged my phone in for the first time, it automatically downloaded WMDC and installed everything for me.

Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) is the name of the software that vista and 7 uses to establish an activesync connection with your phone.

Microsoft Activesync is the name of the software that XP uses to establish an activesync connection with your phone.

plug in your phone and wait a minute and check in the device manager if anything pops up, if not leave it plugged in and do a new device search, there are a couple solutions to your problem you have to just be patient.

I have Windows 7 and the WMDC should be preinstalled and can be found in Control Panel.
