For those having USB problems, I came across a possible solution with the PC at work (Dell Quadcore running Windows XP SP3). It appears that the PocketPro needs exclusive use of the USB controller.

Findings to date:
1) The PocketPro will not connect, as long as any USB port is used (printer, USB chip, drives etc).
2) Disconnect all USB devices, and connect the PocketPro, and it would be automatically recognised, and working perfectly.
3) Once PocketPro is connected, other USB devices will not be recognised until the PocketPro is disconnected.

Not sure if it is an XP quirk that needs this setup, or a quirk of my PC.
