I had this problem once with a third party cable I bought from eBay.
Often they're not what they claim to be and the proper
drivers won't work with them.
Is yours an original
cable or a cheap third-party one?
If its the latter you may be out of luck...
Posted by dude_se
well its off ebay and i think it is 3rd party

Ah, well many third-party USB data cables are based on the Prolific chipset.
Have a look on the following site to see if there's any suitable drivers.

You may need to have a look in the USB properties (not exactly sure where it is or what is called in Windows - I use a Mac) to see what Windows identifies the cable as...

On that site go to:
Download > USB 1.1 Full-Speed Cable Controllers > PL-2303 USB to Serial Bridge Controller > Drivers for Windows (pop-up) > And try that driver
That's the one for most generic USB data cables as most are based on the Prolific PL-2303 chipset.
I've been told the Mac drivers work ok, but as I don't have Windows I've no idea about the Windows ones.

After a long search on the sonyericsson.com/support site I found:
How to install USB driver
1) Insert the USB CD
2) Connect the USB cable into the USB port on the PC
" The add new Hardware wizard will automatically search for the floppies and CD
3) Select CD > HAVE DISK > USB CD
4) Select NEXT > FINISH
5) Select START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > HARDWARE > DEVICE MANAGER
6) The DCU-10/11 USB cable can be found under PORTS with com port number shown
7) Go back again to the CONTROL PANEL > SETTINGS > PHONE MONITOR
8 ) Select COM PORTS and then Enable the port that the USB driver is installed on.
The point is that while installing the cable is very much automatic, I had to set up points 7 and 8 manually.
A) Find the port number (See point 6 above)
B) In Control Panel (Xp view) Choose " Printers and Other Hardware "
C) Then choose " Alternatives for Phone Monitor "
D) One option in the wizard that starts up is Port status. Choose Activate the Port found in point 6 above.
Finally start up synchronisation program and (hopefully) it will find the phone.

PS: You need to download separate programs for 1 - synchronisation, 2 - image editing and downloading from PC to phone and 3 - MMS creation and downloading from PC to phone
