I think I figured it out today, or at least found what I think is the difference....I took my netbook to work, used my other USB CABLE plugged in, said DISK mode and F drive popped up, then a D drive said CD drive showed up under My Computer. Could not open the D drive , that was fine, I was able open SD card on F drive see contents...started PDANet, no error box to retry/cancel/continue, no verizon page came up......come home do same setup but this time my pc connects to my wireless right away as it is supposed to, I plug in same USB cable to charge TB, the damn verizon website comes up. but no error box, just the page launches, now I think I did same thing last night, but disabled my wireless so I do not connect to internet, but that is when got the error, blank web page in background....it has something to do with being around a network you connect to through your wireless card..even disable why at home but out in car 1000 ft away no web page, no popup, that is so screwed up LOL.I have no idea, and when I plug the phone in, it opens internet explorer and tells me to download Verizon media manager.
I have tried to uninstall the driver and still does the same thing when I plug it in.
Any ideas?
