Hey folks,

Help a noob out, if you please! I've had my HTC Incredible S for a day now and am trying to sync with HTC sync. I'm having what appears to be a common problem, where the program won't recognise my phone.
By rebooting my computer and changing USB ports I managed to get the phone to extremely briefly (less than a second) acknowledge a connection before going back to 'disconnected'.

I tried a fix mentioned on this forum; I deleted the phone driver and then plugged the phone back in expecting it to automatically install the driver again, but it tells me it hasn't/can't. Plugging it back it yet again yeilds nothing, and the Incredible S is now back to the old message; unable to find HTC sync on your PC yada yada. I can't find the the driver through Windows online either. Any help for either problem would be much appreciated. Both would be spectacular!

Edit: Windows 7 btw

TIA

 

I installed Sync from the HTC site, and plugged the phone in after. I choose HTC Sync on the USB connection options. It's driving me nuts!

 

Ok, so now I've uninstalled and reinstalled from the HTC site, rebooted the computer and connected the phone, no joy. The phone will bring up the sync screen with 'connected' for about half a second and then drop back to 'disconnected' and the computer doesn't react at all.
I've uninstalled again and reinstalled from the phone (which reinstalled the driver, yay) and rebooted, but still the same result. Getting quite disheartened now!
