Try installing the drivers/software in XP/Vista compatibility mode. That seems to do the trick most of the time (even if it installs fine in the first place).

still no joy with Win 7 (7127) and LG Dare sync with media player. Best i can get is to "sync" via the Mass USB option on the phone and then transfer mp3's directly as if the phone were a USB thumbdrive---if anyone has any other solutions, let me know -- thanks

Load the software up in Windows XP Mode using Windows Virtual PC, then you should be able to run it in Windows XP on top of Windows 7.

It's horrifying, dangerous, & fraught with worry...

j/k

It's an add-on option for Win7 available from MS on the same DL site. Don't get the regular Virtual PC or you won't have USB support.

I have all up to date drivers and there are no conflicts showing in Device Manager. What next?
