Some USB ports, for whatever reason, are better than others. Try another one (and not one off a monitor or other daisy-chained device which may have a USB port).

(see: http://trioptimum.com/truth/) My first guess: The phone will charge just fine without a driver. It's just Windows is prompting for a driver to make all the other magic BlackBerry stuff work, and the user assumes that means it won't work without one. My second guess: Try fiddling with the Mass Storage Device settings of the Blackberry. Depending on how it's configured, the BlackBerry will present itself as either an ordinary USB flash drive, or as something fancier. The "something fancier" mode may need drivers, but the "ordinary USB flash drive" mode does not. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin The information contained in this e-mail, and any attachments hereto, is from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®) and is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
