Good Morning Sven,

Ooohh ok. I was thinking maybe I had missed something. My keyboard does
that as well sometimes.

I'll have to give it a try and see what happens.
Thanks,
Lisa

This might actually be the spellchecker deciding that WAD is what I meant,
when I typed WMDC. Yup, that is what it is. Seems that Outlook Express let
me hover over 'ignore', while Windows Mail defaults to 'change' at each
suggestion. I need to get used to that. Aha, new mouse, changed the 'move
mouse to default button' setting.

Update: in case anyone is interested. I did disable the WMDC from running at
startup. I rebooted the computer and the Sync Center was still running. I
plugged in his phone and it popped up saying new hardware found and installed
it and then did the sync. Now at this point I had no idea what caused that.
A little later we had done something else and rebooted again. This time, the
sync center wasn't there. I plugged the phone in to test and it poped up but
it didn't work right. A menu popped up asking what you wanted to do and it
didn't have the option I wanted. I used the safely remoe hardware and tried
again. It did thing. So I did it again, re-enabled WMDC and rebooted. I
tried again and it still wouldn't work. That's when the AHHH HAAA moment hit
me. I didn't have the phone plugged into the original USB port that it had
been installed on. I moved it and all went back to normal. I decided at
that point, to leave well enough alone. It didn't speed up the boot up any
by having the WMDC disabled. I'm sure that I can disable now as long as I
remember to plug the phone into the proper USB port but since there didn't
appear to be any reduction in boot time, the heck with it.
