The USB data cable is in fact a serial data cable with a built-in USB-serial adapter. So they work the same way with any software.

Some after-market USB cables can also charge the phone.

These data cables cannot be used to unlock/flash your phone. You need an unlocking cable for that. (Though technically you can re-arrange the pins of a data cable to turn it into an unlocking one)

make sure the COM port speed is 9600 for the cable under device manager -> ports

If you are using SE software, enable the COM port under Phone Monitor Options under control panel

Oh... extracting information from your phone.... you can only use phonebackup from Christersson. Other than that, you cannot extract/download anything from the phone to the PC using the cable on the T200. The phone does not support that function. Sorry.
