Help Can't connect in USB media player mode

JUBE

So, the usb media player mode suddenly stopped working. I'd connect the Infuse to my laptop, then choose media player as my usb mode option and then the initializing connection screen would pop up for 2 seconds and disappear. For the hell of it, I changed my usb settings to 'media player' from 'ask on connection' and then connected my Infuse and I got this message: "PC connection only available in idle. Close running applications".

Does anyone know what that means? I'm not sure what applications I'm supposed to be closing so I'm at a loss.

I'd really prefer syncing my music with windows media player as opposed to using usb mass storage so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

It means something (an app or process) is running.

you just need to make sure everything is closed, unfortunately the only easy way to do it is with a task manager/killer

or go to

menu.settings.applications.manage.running
