Heureka!!!

A was messing around, not getting anywhere and suddenly it worked! My
phone was recognized and I could sync. The trick? -> To swich off my
personal firewall (ZoneAlarm).

I not completely sure that this is in fact the solution, or I was just
plain lucky that it worked - but It's sure worth a try..

Couldn't get on with ZA when I 1st started using XP - worked fine with
W98. I use the free Kerio PFW, smaller footprint & just prompted me for
a while when I 1st installed BT. I'm surprised ZA hasn't been sorted by
now if indeed it was the cause of your grief. All the SE s/w now works
perfectly every time as does PhoneBackup, though it says it's not tested
with my phone - it still works - not that I've tried to do a full
restore of my settings with it.

Peter G mentions in another thread that running SendFile in the
background solved his problems with XTNDC.
