Well I was one of those brave souls who decided to buy Vista and give it a whirl. Since this site isn't about Vista all I'll say is it's a pretty decent OS. Anyway I installed vista, installed Office 2007, and then installed Windows Mobile Device Center.
When i connected my wizard, running WM6, Vista found it and installed the drivers. No problem. Windows Mobile Device Center then opened and I set up the device. No problem. Windows Mobile Device Center then started to sync and it crashed. It gets through about 60 contacts and crashes everytime, after reboots and all.
I've tried this with Office 2007 and Office 2003, I've tried this with 3 different ROMs, and I have turned off and on the advanced networking functionality. Everytime it crashes!
Has anybody else experienced this problem? Can someone please tell me how I can sync my phone with Vista? Better yet, can someone please tell me how Microsoft has released a brand spanking new OS and their software to sync mobile users is still in a f'ing beta for RC1?!?!?!?!? Or maybe even when the final copy of Windows Mobile Device Center is to be expected?
Thanks.
i have no problems try to uninstall the WMDC and then reinstall it. I had the same problem once but then uninstalled it and reinstalled it an the poblem was gone no more hangings the only thing that doesnot work is the syncronisation with vistas media player it doesnot show the storage card in the phone but all other things work perfectly.
Uniinstall and then reinstall WMDC. When u go to Controlpanel >>> uniinstall programs>>>> u can see 2 programs of WMDC installed uninstall both of them and the reinstall the WMDC this will solve the problems u have.
Or try different USB places front or back side of the PC if the USB cable is at the back side of PC try to put it in front side if your PC have front side usb connection may be that helps if not then do the uninstall and reinstall thing i said above.
I have Vista Ultimate, had a slight problem syncing with Outlook, but then I dl a the device centre update, and now it works fine
Thanks, I'll try that when I get home tonight. Hopefully that works.
Has anybody heard anything about when the final release might be comming out?
That didn't work but Microsoft released a newer version, that works perfectly, that I posted links to in the main Wizard forum that can be found at the link below.

Happy New year to everybody...
Mine has started off bad, I just returned from my X-mas/New year break and I can no longer sync, install or uninstall programs ?
when I connect my PDA to the PC it sees it, but it can't sync, if I go to remove/add programs it shows empty nothing installed.
I can even brows the PDA but I can't copy files to or from it?
I'm lost, can anyone help me out on this I really don't want to do a hard reset.
Thanks.
Anyone.........?
tryed to reinstall active-sync?
did you installed some program has to do with network (kind of ftp-server or something else that uses some ports in you network-config)
i had the problem with filezilla ftp-server, using port 990 for ssl-authentification.
the problem was, active-sync also uses this port, but filezilla starting as service was bound to this, so AS could not work.

Hi Edi, No I haven't installed anything, but I think my problem might be something else (worse), I just realised that I can no longer copy move or delete files from either the PDA or the MC, I get an "access is denied" error.
Anyone have any idea what might have caused this? and better still, is there a fix.
I seem to be repeating myself lately with this answer, so I apologise if it seems down-right obvious, but have you ensured you have the latest version of ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre?
The reason I ask this is because I too was experiencing Sync problems using WMDV, but realised I didn't have the latest version (it doesn't automatically update with Windows Update, WTF?). Windows Mobile 6 is obviously programmed slightly different from revious versions, so updating Sync software is a simple step that's often missed...

Hi Audio,
Thanks for the reply, but I do have the latest version and I never had a problem with it until this week.
Just so i can try and help, what is it you are using Dave? AS or WMDV?

Hi Audio, I use both, AS at work and WMDV at home, both used to work fine.
And do you experience the issue on both?
EDIT: Apparently, there may be a problem with ActiveSync 4.5. Just take a look at this list of complaints about it lol.
One user stated:
"I was using AS4.2 with my ETen M700, everything was fine. I wanted to upgrade to WM6 and teh instructions said I needed to use AS4.5 I installed it and tried to connect my device - disaster! The rapimgr.exe process runs at 99% and slows the computer to a crawl.
After 3 attempts, I uninstalled it, and re-installed AS4.2 (available from www.microsoft.com) and now things are working again. "
This may be worth doing to see if this soilves your problem...

Yes I have tried it on three different machines, I can see the PDA but it won't sync or let me move or copy files.
It look like I might have to do a hard reset, but I'm hoping not
Also, a chap on a premium (you have to pay for support!) site said the following, which seems slightly similar:
"I've been using ActiveSync for a while now to sync outlook up to my motorola q. For some strange reason it's stopped working. The connection takes place, you get the little signal saying that ActiveSync picks up on it, the "Connecting" message, followed by the "Synchronizing" message... and nothing. It just hangs there. I've reinstalled ActiveSync and Outlook and did a hard reset on the phone. I'm convinced the issue is with the desktop, if I take the same PDA home, I'm able to sync up with my PC there. Does anyone know what happens during the Synchronizing phase and what could be possibly causing it to hang? ActiveSync 4.5 is a new beast, solutions to the older versions don't seem to apply.
If I hit the Stop button, ActiveSync hangs on the "Stopping" message and ActiveSync on the phone becomes unresponsive until I unplug the cable."
So even a Hard reset didn't solve this guys problems...
I would recommend uninstalling AS 4.5 from your machine, and installing 4.2. Reason being, i believe you need your phone connected to the computer when you install syncing software, so it more than likely "fiddles" with some very well hidden settings on the device. If this is the case, 4.5 may have [email protected] it up, but 4.2 may be your savior.
If you decide to give it a go, let us know how it goes...

Hi Audio, I don't know what to do, I started another thread about no longer being able to either copy, move, delete, install or uninstall anything, I really don't think it's a sync problem anymore. I will wait another day or so and then I'm going clear storage and start again.
what really pisses me off is my wife has no problems at all? perhaps my PDA is ******.
Exactly the same has just happened to me - I tried to connect to ActiveSync this morning to copy a file across via bluetooth, but it refused to connect. I plugged in the USB cable, nothing - the phone charges but ActiveSync does not want to know.
I deleted the device in AS, tried to add a new one - nothing found.
I last sync'd up fine 4 days ago.
I am using Dutty's DualTouch v1.1 release.
I am using AS 4.5.0 build 5096
If I discover services via BT from the kaiser to the computer it finds the ActiveSync service.
I have done a soft reset, no difference, restarted the PC, same. I haven't applied any Windows Updates or made any changes since it stopped working.
I might try rolling back to AS 4.2
Edit: Same with AS4.2
Think it might be clear storage time
Cleared storage and then it worked fine...will take the opportunity to upgrade to dualtouch v2
Hi Blaze, damn it's annoying isn't it, my next move is clear storage as well.
Hope mine works again.
It's bloody happened again I reflashed the rom with Duty's Dual Touch V2. Much better rom, but activesync has just given up again via BT and usb. Maybe it's some inherent problem with WM, or with Duty's roms - which are you using Dave?
I've tried it on a fresh build of XP Pro on an old machine with nothing than AS & Outlook 2k3 on - same, AS sees the device, but wont sink. Problem seems with the device...

Good Point I didn't even notice, put it down to stress...
PS: For anyone who's interested, I ended up doing a hard reset, reinstalled my apps, restored my backups and it's working fine now.
Did you have F-secure Mobile installed? If not, I could take that away from possibilities that's causing this problem
Please could anyone help me! The windows mobile device centre suddenly stopped to recognize my Compact IV! It just says Not connected... I tried several things such as Connect with Active sync or Disc Drive (on the phone), unticked 'enable advanced network funcitionality, disabled Norton security, reinstalled the mobile device centre... always rebooting the Vista. It still wont connect!!! Anyone with more ideas to try?
I can access the internal storage from Vista, but I as its not connected with the mobile device centre, it doenst allow me to sync and install any exe files!
Appreciate any help (and I have searched forums, yes) Thanks
did you try to softreset and or hardreset your diamond ?
which version is your? my wmdc is 6.1 and working, the older didn't...
The same thing happens to me. I have to reboot my computer and soft reset my phone and then try again, and it works. I'm using version 6.1.6965 of WMDC.
tried many times
Thanks guys, but doesnt seem to help. Tried rebooting PC and the phone, still no luck. Even tried different USB ports!
Any idea could still try? Its so frustrating!!
I have the same problem but I sync to Vista using bluetooth instead of using the lead as it works every time. I gave up trying to sync using the lead.
help needed still
Bluetooth is so slow... Really want the USB cable connection to work. Apprecieate anyone could help! Please?! Tried with different cable but didnt help. Frustrating!
So I can crash windows mobile in areas of my town where there are lots of wireless access points. The wifi is on when the crashes happen. I propose that WM6.1 can not handle the large volume of aps in these areas. HTC is giving me the run around and saying it is a hardware problem. It only happens when I am in range of many aps(I would guess approx. 30).
To get the crash I boot the phone up with wifi already on and with 30sec to 1 minute. I get a "We're Sorry" box from Microsoft telling me something crashed.
I will attach my dump files in hope that someone here can read the dump files.
Has anyone else seen this happen?
I am using the below rom but skipping customizations install after the flash.
Rom:3.57.502.2 Radio:1.65.21.18 OS:19214 Build:19214.1.0.4
well is it telling you what app is crashed, and is it stopping your from connecting to an ap and browsing?
Ok so what app crashed. I am aware that on some of the dumps navizon was open at the time. So it may say that it crashed. But some of the other dumps I had no programs open.
Any suggestions on why it crashed and what i can do to prevent it from happening.
Anyone else have any suggestions or able to read the error logs.
wzc
Hi,
I own a SE Xperia, and I have a similar problem. At my desk at work, there are more than 40 nearby access points, so when I turn on wifi, I get the device.exe crash, and I cannot connect to any of them. I think the problem is in the wzc of windows mobile. Becasue when I use odyssey access client, it can scan and connect to aps without any problems. I tried using different wzcsvc.dll, I tired playing with the tnetw12511 registry settings, but couldn't find a solution.
Any suggestions?
I went to a custom rom and it fixed the problem. Either the custom rom drivers or the extra 20mb of ram that are now available caused the problem to go away.

Which rom did you use?
I have used about six tilt roms and none have frozen. Listing them doesn't do you any good since you don't have a tilt.

Could you please extract and send me the "TNETW1251.dll" and "wzcsvc.dll" files under windows?
Thanks in advance
I don't have the WZ file. The other is attached.
