    Resolution to Blackberry Connection Problem

    Model Blackberry Playbook
    Pin 501D44D6
    2.1 bundle 1917 installed

    I am having a problem getting my playbook to connect to the Blackberry Desktop Software. When I open the software on my computer it says in the bottom after a min or two Sync All. I click on file and it brings up on screen Manage files  get started. The playbook itself shows connected to computer. When I click on the get started button it says �Problem occurred while attempting to connect to your blackberry device.

    When I click on Troubleshoot my connection it reads the following possible problems:

    1. Cables bad. I have tried two.
    2. Is the playbook charged? It is fully charged.
    3. Have I close my anti-virus program. Yes
    I am running an Asus computer with an I7 Intel Processor. It has 8 gigs on ram and plenty on mass storage. I am running windows 7 Pro. I have also upgrade the OS on the playbook to the latest one. It has worked before when I uploaded a lot of book on it and I have not tried to upload for a while. I wanted to upload some more books and delete some. I don�t know what has changed. I have also tried the below items. There is no longer any free help from Blackberry. Can anyone help me get this thing working again? Thanks
