Cell phone data cable drivers

[Evan]

I just got a usb cable to attach my cell phone to my computer and it didn't come with drivers. I looked around for a while on the net but I couldn't find any. Anyone know a good place to look for this stuff? Thanks. I have an LG VX6100 if it matters.

This should do you nicely Evan. BTW, most LG accessories can be found dirt cheap at newegg.com

Take care,

I had some trouble getting the program to recognize my phone. The support page says you need to use a serial cable, mine is USB. Any help? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

I D/L'd some off a file sharing site but I can't get them to work. I don't think the technology is very robust. In other words, it's hard to get the PC and phone to talk to each other.
