Hi,
I'l a new blackberry user. I picked up a 7780 from ebay. I'm not subscribed for the data service, I really only wanted it for the phone and to sync with MS outlook address book & calander. I have my cingular sim card in it, and the phone works fine (makes / receives calls). I downloaded the desktop manager from blackberry.com. It synced for a little while connected via USB to my laptop, but on the next reboot, it stopped syncing. Now when I connect it, I get a message balloon (MS WINXP) stating the device is not recognized. I've tried the Desktop manager versions 3.6, 4.0 & 4.2. Seems the driver isn't loaded. I have the same issue when connecting with my desktop. I have the connection settings set to USB.
In short, the computer recogized the BB one time. Now the CPU sees a USB device has been connected, but doesn't recognize its a BB.
Generally speaking, I'm pretty technical, but new to the blackberry world. Am I way off base or missing something?
Any help is appreciated.
Chris
