I've read threads about folks complaining that when they plug in their droid to the usb port a verizon vcast commercial pops up in the web browser.

I am having the same experience. I have an HTC Incredible. The threads that I've read say go to the system tray(?) on your pc (the lower right hand area of your screen) and click on a motorola icon and disable it. I don't have the icon. So I can't do that.

I've even disabled on my pc the (two) disk drives that my droid registers using windows xp device manager to no avail.

Any help, please?

 

Thank you. I will try dialing and pressing the numbers. That was the one suggestion I did not want to follow because it seemed so random.

Yep, it works!
