In many cases, a driver installation error will occur.

Fix

This issue can generally be solved via the following process:

  • Disconnect the device if it is connected
  • Uninstall the Windows Mobile device driver (if it exists) by opening the Control Panel then selecting the Device Manager. Find the proper driver, then right-click it and select “Uninstall.”
  • On the Windows Mobile device itself, go to Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC and deselect “Enable advanced network functionality.”
  • Reconnect the Windows Mobile device and allow Windows 7 to automatically setup the device

    • You may also need to download and install the Windows Mobile Device Center after performing the above process.
