FIXED

Out of the box Mobile Device Center was defective. I installed ver 6.1 and
it worked right away. I saw it was installing the proper drivers for Windows
Mobile and sure it enough it fired up the Device Center and ran.

I thought it might be the version, but I went back and checked the other pc
and it is running 6.0 which is what should have been on this machine. So it
looks like the image right out of the box for the machine is bad or damaged.
I haven't installed anything else yet so there's nothing to interfere on here.
