Mobility Site - View Single Post - sync/charge cable disables all usb ports on vista?

I am running Vista Ultimate with an Asus motherboard and have no problems with using the usb cable or using the cradle. Doesn't sound like a vista glitch but more like a Dell desktop problem. Check the Dell website for any updated usb drivers. You may be using old XP usb drivers which may not be compatible with Vista. Almost all companies have come through with Vista Drivers. Dell is one of them that is lagging behind.

I would take the Dell desktop to the garbage dump. That is where new Dell Desktops end up in about 1 1/2 years due to the cheap 3rd or 4th generation parts in it (unless you want to spend lots of extra money to bring it up to date).

I built my own for about half the cost than what dell is asking (for the same type of new computer) and my parts are current. I repair computers for a living and always see $$$$ when a customer brings in a Dell Desktop. Now that I think of it.....Yes buy a Dell...Keep me in business and put my kids though university!!!!!!:approve:
