Sometimes it syncs - sometimes it doesn't Jerry 01-21-2008

HP IPAQ, Vista Ultimate 32-bit here and the Mobile device center version
6.1.6965
Out of every ten times I insert the PDA in its cradle, about 4 times nothing
happens and the PDA appears as not connected, although I can see and even
browse it from Windows Explorer. The other 6 times it connects and
synchronizes as expected.

Where should I start to look for the cause of this behavior?
Will highly appreciate any advice.

Not to be a wiseguy, but if you've got a PPC syncing with WMDC 6 times out
of ten, a good number of people on this newsgroup would likely trade places
with you! ;-)

Kidding aside, have you tried disabling the "Enable Advanced Network
Functionality" option in Start / Settings / Connections (tab) / USB-to-PC?
(All but the earliest WM5 dvices should have it.) That sometimes inhibits
a USB sync.
