Been away from the list for a while. This problem IS the driver between the phone device and the operating system. This phone is old enough to ONLY have 32bit drivers. Any 64bit O/S will not work with this phone. When I finally figured this out and rebuilt the desktop to W7/32bit teh connection to the phone functions as advertised. That's the good news. The bad news is I have RAM installed that is not being utilized and the machines just seems not as fast as the 64bit version. However it is functional. And when I decide to get a new phone (Probably a WinPhone 7 device) I'll probably rebuild again then for 64bit. The desktop is getting a bit ragged about now anyway with all the stuff it has to do and be experimented with.
Anyway, people, Thanks for the help. As always, this group is the best. Hopefully I can get back here more often now some things have settled down for the summer.
