Computer not recongizing Eris

I synch my Eris with Outlook on my computer but have not done so since March 2010. When I now plug my Eris into a USB port, it does not recognize it as another drive or hardware like it used to. The computer does recognize other peripherals when plugged into the USB port.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried looking at the default connection type under:

Settings -> Connect to PC -> Default Connection Type?

If it's on Charge Only it won't recognize it.

I've already tried rebooting the computer several times, so I don't think thats it.

I may have fat fingered a setting at some point, but I don't see a "Connect to PC" option under "Settings". Am I missing something somewhere?

Thanks for your help.

I also had trouble with HTC Sync after OTA 2.1. I started over and reinstalled the freshest version onto the PC (from HTC website) and now make sure the PC app is open and ready when I plug the Eris into the USB.

I also only hit "Sync Now" on the Eris, not on the PC (not sure if it matters, but it works for me).

And, yes, it helps to restart the PC when things don't work!
