i didn't have to change com speeds, and i too have gotten my cable to work on multiple operating systems.

the problem with the drivers that the ebay-dodgy-cable sellers are supplying is that it's the most general driver you can get and wasn't working with my operating system. here's what you should do if you haven't already:

1. remove all dud drivers.

2. download current drivers from here: http://tech.prolific.com.tw/visitor/v_filebrw_result.asp

note - make sure you get the correct driver for your operating system. downloading the xp driver when you're running 98/2000 isn't going to work. they have the 98/2000 driver there, just scroll through or use the search engine they've supplied on that page.

3. download 'float's mobile agent' from here:

http://fma.sourceforge.net/index2.htm

this program is designed for T610, but i can vouch that it works for T630, and i've heard that it works for a whole bunch of other phones, too. if fma can't connect, you've still got a driver problem. check that the current driver (i.e. from the link i've supplied, that is if you're using dcu-11)

if fma cannot connect, the driver i've supplied is the wrong one, your usb port isn't working properly (try testing it with any other device), or some other software issue is preventing the connection. 95% of the time, though, it will be a driver problem.

I am still having problems ith my cable. Under my ports it says "prolific USB-to-Serial Bridge". Is that the right name? And also, when sending files from my phone to the PC, it works but when I try to send files from my PC to the phone, it starts transfering but than stops. Anyone know why?

yes, it's fine. and I wonder how you can send file from phone to PC.

Also the phone will only accept files that are of the right format. So if it's a picture, it has to be of the right file type and dimension.... depending on phone models.

At least your drivers are working. I can't get drivers working for me. I have the dcu-11 cable, at least thats whats on the cable. I tried drivers from the se site, from profilic, and the drivers given my the store. When I plug my cable in, windows sees it has USB-Serial controller. Is this normal? Someone with the same cable told me that windows sees the cable as USB device. Same operating system, xp pro. Any help please? Thanks in advance

P.S. I already have a thread about this but no one replied.

I have a K700i and I have problems with my cable too. I can get the driver working, and it sees my phone but once I click on any of the files on my phone it says an unexpected error has occured and chucks me out. I can't think what else to do. I have tried everything. Mine also charges when I flick it to the charge mode. Grrrr. ANY ideas???
