Help with Motoroal Phone Tools and V600

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.motorola (More info?)

An update: On other occasions, I got the dialer to send the phone number to
the phone, the phone displays "Calling" followed by the number, but doesn't
change the screen. When I manually dial the phone, that number answers with
a modem tone. I can't then connect the phone to the computer. These
symptoms change depending on the mood of the phone and computer!

Hey guys,
Are you still having the same issue? I dug the hell outta Google while
experiencing the same issue you guys seem to have. I'm using a v400
however. Either way, what I did was I basically kept on
troubleshooting. The first step would be to disable everything from
your start-up before installing (so basically uninstall the software,
go to "Start" --> "Run" --> "msconfig" --> go to the "startup" tab and
write down the name of every prog that is unchecked...then if you are
using XP, you can click on the "Disable All" button at the bottom and
then "OK," or if you are using any other ver of Windows, go back to the
General tab, make sure "selective startup" is chosen, and then uncheck
"load startup group items." Then when you click "OK," let Windows
reboot). Doing so will prevent programs conflicting in the install to
run, as you will have temporarilly disabled them. Once the install is
complete, go back into msconfig, select "Normal Startup," go to the
"Startup" tab, and uncheck all the programs that were initially
unchecked (if applicable). If this fails, I have TONS of
troubleshooting for you guys to try. So lemme kno :-) Feel free to
e-mail me at sashkoguard-cf@yahoo.com if I don't respond on here in a
timely fashion or wutever :-)
