My Orange SPV C600 smartphone only shows as 'connected' when plugged into 1 particular USB port on my laptop. When plugging it into any other USB port, Vista plays the hardware connect sound, etc, but WMDC never sees the phone. Is this expected behaviour, that I have to always connect using the same port? Rob

Sorry for cross-posting. This is, probably, a more-appropriate group. I've installed a Vista Business 'N' on a PC (new install, old machine) - and attempted to install the Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update. The installation fails - "The update could not be installed because at least one Windows component required by Windows Mobile Device Center is missing" WTH???

I have Windows Vista Business 32, Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 and Outlook 2007. I use an HP iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger and can sync ok via Bluetooth and USB. I sync calendar, tasks, email & contacts. I have introduced another iPAQ - HP iPAQ 614c and set this up to sync just tasks and calendars. Again, can sync via Bluetooth and USB connection. I want to be able to sync ALL calendar...

Hello, I'm always having trouble with synchronizing my Calendar items. Everytime I try to select the Calendars to sync for more than the default 2 weeks I get an error dialog box saying: "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Hey All: I think this might be a unique issue, but here goes. I have an iPAQ with Windows Mobile 2003SE. Since I installed Vista and Windows Mobile Device Center (final), an issue arose wherein adding new tasks and setting a due date automatically set a start date on the PDA. There is no way to unlink the two - it automatically sets the due and start dates to the same date. I do not use start...

Hi, OneNote 2007 supports automatic installation of OneNote Mobile on Windows Mobile if you have ActiveSyn 4.2. Well, this procedure does not work on the Vista laptop. Vista and ActiveSync are mutually exclusive. Instead on Vista you need Windows Mobile Device Center. I Have setup my IPAQ 6915 and my laptop as paired devices. And Bluetooth sending of files works fine vice versa. However they...

I have spent time talking with Sprint about why the Vista desktop doesn't connect with my phone (PPC-6700). I have installed and uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Center which I downloaded on 2/18/08 so I assume it is not downlevel. When I connect the phone and open WMDC, I just get NOT Connected. Anyone have this phone working on Vista? Any clues or things to test? Many...

I posted on the beta NG's but realized they were closing today, so I decided to repost the same Q here. Any help would be appreciated! --- Good Evening, I was wondering if someone could help me troubleshoot. I am having trouble using WMDC with my PPC-6700... When I plug the device into the cradle, it correctly recognizes the RNDIS driver... but it then asks me a driver for an unknown...

I just got a new Vista machine and a new AT&T 8525. I downloaded and installed Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, but it won't find the 8525. The phone is connected via USB, and it's getting power. I've read the official Microsoft troubleshooting guide (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter/troubleshooting.mspx), but it wasn't much help. What I've learned is that I'm supposed...

I can not get my Ipaq with Windows Mobile 5 to be recognized in Windows Vista Home Premium. I have tried reinstalling WMDC twice and restarting. It says on my pocket device that it is connected however I can not see it in Window Explorer, nor in Sync center, nor in WMDC. What can I do to get this to work? Also, I do NOT have any virus programs running on my computer.

Using Vista RC 2 (Ultimate) und MS Office S 2007 (Ultimate) Sync of calendar and tasks does not work, rest works fine does anyone has a hint for "hidden" check-box, options, combinations?

Even after getting Vista, I was able to sync to my iPaq 2495. One day, no longer possible. My wife may have mistakenly changed something on the computer to lead to this but I can't determine what. I have deleting and reinstalling Mobile Device Center and downloaded version 6.1, precisely following the instructions. I did it with all antivirus/antispam/firewall/etc. turned off. I have...

Vista recognizes my device and I can browse the contents of my device. But it won't sync - When I try to sync it says "There is a problem with your connections. Please disconnect and reconnect your device and try again" I have done that many times in addition to reinstalling the Device Center and rebooting. my ipaq is "ancient" by today's standards - it's OS is Windows CE 4.2 but there is a...

Yup, thats what we need to find, a work around. Get rid of WMDC and use stand alone drivers to view and access our PDA's (and other devices). If you want details, please see this thread... 'Unable to connect pda to Vista - Vista Forums' (http://www.vistax64.com/showthread.php?p=771377#post771377) HOWEVER...I am trying to see if, on a more global level, there is a work around to simply NOT...

My IPAQ hx2495 works fine when used with my old XP laptop. My new HP laptop that came preloaded with Vista Home Premium fails to install the windows mobile device drivers for the IPAQ. WMP can see the IPAQ and I can access the files on both the device and the storage card. Looking at the error on the driver install for the mobile device all it says is unable to open device. I have...

I did not realize Vista would not use Activesync. I was told they now use Windows Mobile for the Motto Q in order to sync my information. I was told that I just need to download Windows Mobile. Everytime I try to download, I get an error. I have pasted the error below, because I have no idea what it means. I feel like I have wasted my money. I have a hard enough time with Vista, now I...
