I'm running Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP so I can use the BlackBerry
Desktop Manager software for my BlackBerry 8100. I can't get the
BlackBerry software to work (i.e. connect), because XP does not
"Detect" the USB connection that I'm using to link the phone to the
computer.

How can I get XP to recognize the USB port that I'm using?

This has been discussed at great length in prior posts. VPC's support
for USB is spotty at best. It works for some serial and disks, but only
for USB 1.1. If your device is expecting USB 2.0, you're plain out of
luck. VPC doesn't support that and probably never will.

You're only option at this point is a cheap PC or a MacPro with Bootcamp
or Parallels. They just updated Parallels to recognize USB 2.0.

This issue really doesn't have anything to do with USB. Quite simply,
Blackberry is not compatible with VPC. Check the blackberry forums at

Does this apply to the Samsung Blackjack phone?
I have installed Virtual PC with Windoes XP on my PowerBokk G4 and
windows does not acknowledge that the phone is connected via USB.

If this is not the case do you have any suggestions for me?

Thank You,
Sue

Use a USB to Serial adapter (There are a lot of posts on which one to
use and how to set it up).
