I purchased a phone that has a micro SD slot. The cell phone dealer gave me some kind of a 3rd party USB cable and told me that a soon as the card is inside the phone, and the USB cable is plugged in, everything will be recognized automatically.

Off course the bastard lied to me like they always do, and windows says that the USB devise has malfunctioned, and Windows doesnt recognize it. Unfortunately it installed some kind of USB driver for the cable that doesnt work. I want to remove it from my computer, but I dont know where these things are stored and how to remove them. Can anyone help?


I'm using Win XP Pro.

Hm. Device Manager?

Or if it's some sort of strange third party driver, Add/Remove Programs?

By the way, he should have been right. If you plug it all in, the phone should just come up as a card reader, basically. Sounds like something else is wrong too.

Dont think so... I read forums concerning my phone - the LG CU500, and everyone says it cant link with a USB cable atm, and is not compatible with my Kingston 1gig microSD.

The cell phone salespeople always lie.(At least here in New York) The guy even gave me a used phone when he said it was new. It was in the original box, with all documents and looked new and shiny. However, when I started using it, I discovered 96 numbers in the phone book, and a picture of someone's cat taken back in November. Funny... And the guy told me they "just recieved" these phones. I really dont advise anyone getting cell phones in NYC unless they have no choice. I had 5 cellphones already, and everytime I was scammed in some way. One time I was scammed for $200, by a guy who scammed many other ppl. Now he is on bail awaiting his court date. Another time I was scammed by recieving broken phones that always malfunctioned. Had them repaired 5 times, and still they worked like crap. And now this....

PS: I was able to transfer ring tones using an SD card adapter.

I have an LG CU500, and had thought the USB cable was supposed to work with it. The only reason I don't have one is because I couldn't find one in stock at either the LG or Cingular sites (but both sites listed it for the CU500, just out of stock).

As far as always getting scammed by cell phone salespeople - buy online! Amazon.com or Cingular.com probably isn't going to sell you a used phone as new.
