Question: Why is the computer asking for USB drivers when I plug in the USB interface cable? Answer: The cable cannot be plugged in the computer before the drivers are installed using the Installation CD that came with your phone. DO NOT ATTEMPT to install the drivers using the Windows Hardware Manager. Unplug the cable from the computer. Perform the driver installation procedure to install the drivers and then plug the cable back in to the computer. Question: I plugged in my USB cable while Windows was booting up and I cannot perform a HotSync?

Unplug the cable and reboot the system. Wait until the system is done booting and then plug in the cable. The cable can be unplugged or plugged in at anytime when the system is active.
