That's the whole point of my problem. I am no longer given the choice to connect as USB device or to charge. It just goes straight to charging.

And I don't see anyway to turn off USB 2.0 funtionality in Device manager. To give that a try. I have tried to hook it up thru whatever hubs I have on hand, to see if I might possibly have an older USB 1.1 hub, but nope, still same old charging mode.

I guess in the final analysis, not having it recognised as a USB storage device doesn't make this PP a useless device. Now, IF it lost the charging function, THAT would make it a paper weight!
This is NOT the same problem as I have seen. I would get the choice and it would always fail.
Not having Vista available, Try Right clicking on "My Computer", "Manage"
If you get that far (it is working like XP), Device manager should be on the left list. "Remove" any "Unknown" devices (PEz disconnected).
Shut down (power OFF), Power ON (cold boot), wait for activity to stop, attach your PEz.
Look at the device manager again if any errors during connect, note messages.
