my mate is having trouble when he connects his phone to his pc, works fine on his lappy, ive got no idea.
anyone know whats going on?

Quotehae you heard of this before??

right plugging in my phone to my home comp using usb and the computer itself hisses at me, then after a few seconds resets..

on the screen it does pick the phone up, and appears to be installing the driver... but dont get that far

it works with other devices like usb harddrives etc, and i have tried it in 6 different usb ports on my comp...

also it works fine on my laptop??

very confused.....

any ideas people??

maybe hes drawing too much power from the usb ports ?

try unplugging everything else usb ?

i said that to him but he said he usually runs external hdd drives and dvd drives(which use alot more power) but at the moment this is the only thing he is connecting.

Vista with a C-Media audio codec chip in the phone?  

Could try installing the drivers prior to plugging the device in? I know some USB MP3 players used to have a fit if plugged in without the drivers being installed before hand.

drivers.
