Sometimes you need the software installed first before it finds the hardware.
Also as surprising as it may sound, it should be called "plug and pray", not all devices are found on first boot, sometimes you need to give it a hint by using the "install new hardware" option, this will cause it to look closer for a new device, and even then sometimes it simply can't see it until you force it by installing the device drivers.

Plug and play in all of Microsofts operating systems only detects those items that are truly plug and play. The earlier US Robotic modems and phones were not plug and play as they had described on the box and to get the plug and play feature you had to remove all the jumpers from the modem. Then, you had to go into the control panel and use the Add New Hardware wizard to add the device. If your modem comes with jumper pins on it then it is not a true plug and play device. If you go into the Add New Hardware wizard, it will probably detect the device however.

@ Opensource,

Thanks for the Info, Its a Nokia 2600c, Though the Cable is not from Nokia, I later put some other USB like my jpeg Camera and behold found new hardware poped up, So i am guessing its the cable, My problem is this same cable when inserted in other PCs pops up the found new hard ware, As for the software,its a fake because its a trial version of some Oxygen Mobile Manager,

I'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me where to get ORGINAL KOKIA 2600 CLASSIC USB,

@ Engineer Yinka,

Na wa for you ooo,

go to device manager then insert your usb device; i believe you should see a yellow question mark
indicating that the driver for the device is not installed or if the drivers are already on installed you should
see some other device; if not then select action -> scan for hardware changes

google nokia pc suite

download and install it.

that should resolve any problems

in future, always ensure that you have the installation media of every software you use on dvd or external hard drive
