Hello,
How can I tell what programs are hording my USB Modem? I can't get a cell/pda to sync because it states that the USB modem is currently in use.

This is "usually" a driver issue.
Either you need an updated driver for the modem, or the driver did not install properly.
Even though USB is "plug n play" you often need to install the manufactures device driver BEFORE EVER plugging in the USB device.
Start by un-plugging the modem.
Remove the driver.
Install the latest driver.
Connect the modem.
If that does not fix the problem, you may need updated drivers for the USB ports.
Or, a Windows Update.
