Same here. XP no go. Works fine (usb mass storage connection) in Linux, though, so I know my cable and ports are functioning fine.

Then I tried the same on both after removing the microSD card, and then after installing the Samsung USB drivers. The AC charger works perfectly. So what do you think? Bad cable? It was working a couple of days ago when I used it. Hope to hear from you guys soon. Thanks!

Sure sounds like the cable. Does the battery charge with the USB cable plugged in? Check the taskbar icon.

Know anybody close with an Omnia? Test with their cable.

I really hate going into VZW stores. Their idea of a good cable is one that has connectors on each end.

Good luck.
