This may sound as a dumb question but something as simple as this is the cause of many problems with WMBDC. "Did you attempt to run wmbdc without your device synced via USB?" You have to have the device attatched befor it will work.

did you try running it as an administrator? what happens when you try to open?

I experienced this same issue for almost a year w/ my 700wx. Apparantly, there was a bug in my stock WM5 ROM. I flashed to a custom WM5 ROM and the problem went away. I've since upgraded to WM6 and everythings still running fine. Bottom line..might want to consider flashing a custom ROM

Sounds like it was an issue w/ your laptop. Glad it worked
