It looks like Windows is picky here. Any way to get around this?
surely
these verizon phones are in use all the time. Verizon support people
don't
have any answers. Sad Huh? The system worked fine on my old laptop
using ME.
Also USB ports work fine with other devices, mouse, printer, etc.
Any ideas?

You should go to Verizon's website for updated drivers/software for your
phone and to their tech support for help with their products. This
isn't a case of "Windows is picky" but rather that you are trying to
run software designed for a completely different operating system on
XP.
