I've used the install right off the microsoft site after both uninstalling and rebooting.

I've never been able to get it to connect.

I've done both having the phone connected to the PC when I install WMDC and having it non connected during the install.

When I do not have it connected and do the install, when I then go and connect the phone WMDC does not open on it's own I have to do it manually. At that point it just show connecting for about a minute then shows a red X and the word error

When it is connected when I do the install it opens WMDC right away but it just sits on the splash screen for 10+ minutes. if I then go and manually open the program (while it's still stuck on the splash screen) it pops right up and shows me the same red X error.

There's no firewall up and I even uninstalled my anti-virus stuff.

I'll give the soft reboot a try though I have this feeling that it's more the PC side not doing something right as the phone tells me I've made a connection.

The USB to PC thing I changed was under the activesync thing in the USB to PC thing called "Enable advanced network functionality" this was something the phone help suggested.
