When I try to connect my EVO to my Windows XP desktop through a USB port, it connects for about a second (connection window flashes up on the EVO, "My Computer" shows a new device connected, and connection .wav plays).
It then immediately disconnects (EVO connection window disappears, device disappears from "My Computer", and disconnection .wav plays.)
No error messages or notifications appear on either the EVO or the PC.
HTC tech support had me download the HTC Sync program, which didn't help.
(I don't even want to sync, just transfer files manually.)
I did NOT have this problem when trying to connect to a friend's computer.
So, the problem is not with the EVO, nor with the cable, but with my PC.
My antivirus program is Microsoft Security essentials, but I have it set NOT to scan USB drives, so I doubt that that is the trouble.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, were you able to fix it?
