I'm still attempting to get my BB Tour to connect with my laptop - took both items to Alltel/Verizon and they were able to connect my phone up without a problem to their computer. Took my computer to Best Buy and the Geek let me down by leaving a message that there might be something going on with my computer but not sure what and went to lunch. Grrrrr. So I got to thinking on the way home -- I had this techno kid come over to network my laptop to a computer and printer in my home 6 months ago -- thought it would be a simple deal but he messed for 3 days and never did get the job done -- my thought -- have there been Vista services shut off / disabled in that attempt that are now needed for my Blackberry? Any ideas here? I don't want to start enabling and disabling stuff without some clear guidance from some one wiser than me. I wish there was a way I could hit a "restore defaults" and see if that fixed the issue?

No suggestions for me?

On hold waiting for Blackberry support folks now!

Perhaps admin rights on your laptop are preventing the connection you are seeking

I've tried to install "as Administrator" even though I am logged in as an Admin -- is there some other settings I need to look at?

What do you want to do for connecting? Tethering? Do you have desktop manager installed?

When I would plug my tour in, it wouldn't recognize it as a modem. Only the memory card. I uninstalled the DM I already had and reinstalled the DM softward from the blackberry site. It has all drivers and modems in it. Now I can tether without an issue.

Or won't the computer recognize the tour at all?
