I was haveing a terrible time with my X5 connecting to my Dell 8100 desktop via the USB cradle, but dropping the connection within a minute or so. The solution that worked for me was to install a USB 2.0 card and connect to it instead of the USB 1.1 built into the 8100. The connection now seems very stable using AS 4.1.

Perhaps as we add more USB devices the older 1.1 interface gets flakey even though you plug directly into the computer instead of a hub. It would be interesting to hear from anyone else who has tried this with (or without) success to help those who are still struggling.
