Mobile Phones (motorola) and Virtual PC

[tuplang]

gday, ive been searching everywhere for some sort of information to help me solve my dilemma but so far i havent yeilded too many good results. there were a few similar threas on here but they werent quite going down the road i was after so hear goes. (appologies if this has been covered already or is posted in the wrong forum.)

i have a motorola v620 (by all accounts pretty similar to v600) and have been trying to sync it with the motorola phonetools software (via USB and VPC 7), unsuccesfully sadly.

I have tried both windows 98 and XP. first of all, Isync detecs and will sync so all is well as far as the phone and cable go. furthermore virtual PC detects the phone in the USB options. for some reason unbeknown to me windows will not detect the phone. windows will indicate new hardware and device manager will show any other USB device i select under the USB options in VPC except for the phone.

Im going to try again tomorrow (hopefully) with a nice clean install of windows XP as the other is starting to get a bit fruity running in VPC. Failing that, if theres anyone out there with Virtual PC experience that might know a solution to my issues im dying to hear it.

oh and the reason i dont simply use isync is im wanting to transfer audio and image files also - phone nerd
