Hi, can anyone help?
Running Vista from my laptop and want to synch my Vario II with it (currently synched Vario II with XP running desktop). Tried to instal ActiveSync but laptop tells me it's already there but I can't find it in the programmes list and it won't find it on a search.
My laptop does recognise my memory card in the Vario II but won't recognise that it's actually in the Vario II - i'm confused. When I conect the Vario II I'm prompted for a password several times but I can't actually synch.
Vario II is running WM5, have considered WM 6.1 but would I still be able to sync with the XP desk top if I install it.
All a bit confusing and frustrating this, I'm not a techie so basic answers please (if possible!!!)
Thanks

im a veteran when it come to vista. but i still hate it!!!!!!!
check this link from microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
youll find the activesync for vista its called "Windows Mobile Devie Center."
vista sucks in the sense of all those security related stuffs.. wmd sucks.. big time, dun ever attempt to do reflashing of roms at vista, u may end up a bricked phone
nice help thanks
Active Sync is for Xp..
Windows Mobile Device Center is for Vista..
So you need to DL Windows Mobile Device Center

ooops, I forgot..
Good luck!

Vista works fine. You can get your phone bricked by not doing it right, it happens in all operating systems.
vista uses wmdc - windows mobile device center & not activesync. so go to the link mentioned on the 2nd post & dload wmdc. should be fine afterwards.
1 thing that bugs me with vista/wmdc is that everytime you sync your device, it changes your device ID to "windowsmobileXX" for my prophet and now to "HTCXX" on my touch pro where XX is a number. So some of my programs that need device ID for registration gets screwed up.
edit: i've never had any luck with flashing on vista for my prophet needed to use vmware running xp. haven't flashed my touch pro yet...
Here is a guide i wrote to flash Htc Himalaya's aka xda2 devices in Vista, the steps should be same :

I am having problems syncing on my Vista x64 SP1 machine.
When I first plugged in my phone, there were two options, one to access the Diamond as a mobile device and another to act as a removable disk. I mistakenly chose for it to act as a removable disk. Now when I go to Windows Mobile Device Center it always shows up as Not Connected.
How can I revert this setting? I have looked everywhere and can't find any way to change this.
Doh, nevermind, I figured it out. It seems that when I did that it changed the setting on the actual phone. I dug around and found the setting on the phone.
hey, i have the same problem, where did you find the setting???
Goto start-->setting-->connections-->USB to PC.
that helped thanks!! i haven't played with settings on the phone yet, been too busy with other features (my prev device was a P3300-what a change!!!)
the syncing was still an issue tho, had to use Windows Update to get the new USB drivers.
I guess this must be a 64 bit problem...
I have had weird problems.
My work pc XP laptop all ok synchs and transfers contacts etc.
My home PC Vista 32 bit Ultimate can explore device etc but fails to synch all the time. Have to delete partnership. Reboot pc and diamond and repair. Synchs once then fails again after that.
Hi, I have install windows 7 rc , and i cant have my contacts in diamond to sync with outlook. It seems active sync is not compatible with win7 . Is there a solution ? Thanks ,
in win 7 is no active sync... you have to use mobile device center
hi
this works for me on windows 7 you can download it from here
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-download.mspx
When you connect your diamond to win7, it will automatically download drivers and mobile device center . To get Outlook is your own responsibility. You probably have a 30 day trial version on one of the disks that followed your phone, but it will still sync after those 30 days.
EDIT: I have no clue wether the trial version works in win7 or not.

Ι downloaded the above. I didnt see nothning to change. I have installed Windows Mobile Device Center and it looks to work ok. I see diamond from the pc as a hard disc, and i can use it. I also have internet to diamond throw the pc. The phone is recognized by the pc as Touch Diamond P3700, and i have the icon of sync sender in taskbar. What I dont have? The one i am interested more.. My contacts to outlook to pc.. I have installed office 2003 to the pc , and i have outlook 2003. There , contacts are empty.
I dint see to Windows Mobile Device Center to have any option to transfer contacts from phone to outlook.. Any help ?
edit... Ok I just solve it. I went mobile device settings-change content sync settings. In contact there a press sync settings ,and there it writes synconize from Pc1 Pc2. Only one was "ticked" I tick and the other , and contacts went to my pc... Very complicated i think..
Hi, I'm on Windows 7 64 bit build 7100. Trying to get my phone to sync, have installed WMDC 6.1 64 bit version, plug my Diamond in and Windows Update fails on trying to install the driver, just get PocketPC USB Sync in Device Manager with a status of "This device cannot start (Code 10)."
Any ideas where I am going wrong on this? Had no issues on Vista 64bit getting it to work, have repeated all the same steps so am scratching my head somewhat.
Edit: Solved it, turns out it was my USB extension lead, tried plugging directly into the computer and it worked perfectly lol

I think I have researched all the treads on this pretty well now & I've tried all the above including rolling back to before I 1st allowed the WDM to install to no avail. I still can't get my Diamond talking to W7 WDM still talks to my old Vista Ult machine though.
Everything looks good the updater downloads drivers then the WDM then the installs happen the device gets found and it sort of knows its a HTC device plugged into a USB port but WDM and Sync Center both don't believe its there.
I've tried resetting the Diamond complete reboots of the computer, I've changed all settings in the PC to USB menu on the Diamond (another thread) and this only changes the Device from Generic Serial to Generic NDIS but still WDM won't connect.
So has anyone got any further suggestions I can't believe its this hard every one else has no probs what might I be doing wrong (I think the fact the device is a Generic Serial not a Diamond might be a hint but I can't prove it)

Stephen Lane,
I have exactly the same problem. Did you found a solution or still facing this problem?
You can use Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. It's free to download by MS.

Thanx alot people! This thread saved my day!
WMDC does not recognize my G1. He detect that there is a unidentified device and searching the driver to web but after a minute it was NOT successfully installed. How come? LOL.
HeY Guys...
I've been reading through nearly every single help file which is dealing with debranding/flashing the X1 but I can't get on the right path...
I've downloaded X1_HardSPL and tried to flash my cell phone, but it doesn't work: Always the same: Lost connection to X1... (after my phone started in boot/update mode
X1 shows after the RGB monitor a gray window with "Loanding..." in it...after a few seconds, HardSPL stops the process...
System: Windows 7 RC1
every program and firewall turned off - even via TaskManager
no SIM card inserted
USB cradle directly connected to my laptop (no HUB)
Have you got any idea? I'm sure you have one... Thanks in advance!
I have exactly the same problem. I hope some one have an idea to fix this.
tray to use another computer. it will work with you
Windows 7
Hello,i got win 7 and dont have any problems with flashing x1,make sure you got phone connected with mobile device center,minimize the mobile device center,than start the hardspl.
My phone is connected with cable not via cradle i think the best and safest way is to connect directly.
Mobile device center is important because of drivers for X1.
uninstall active sync...reinstall active sync.
Win 7
Windows vista and win 7 use windows mobile device center not activesync.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-synch.mspx
when the phones about to go into the bootloader a notification comes up (did on mine anyway) i said yes to the notifiication and mine worked!
Please post in the existing Hard SPL thread.

Hi all,
I have a problem here after I upgraded my laptop to OS Windows 7 and installed Windows Mobile Device Center.
at first, I can connect to PC via USB (transfer file OK) but can't sync with MS Outlook 2007. and then at another connection, i lose my phone contact at my device (but only older contacts, new stored contacts still exist),
but now i can't connect at all. PC & Windows Mobile Device Center software not showing any activities.
I've tried to re-installed my Windows Mobile Device Center software and hard reset my TyTn II but still can't connect. Icon on PDA, only charging icon. I tried with connection via bluetooth and it works, but I prefer a connection w/ USB cable.
My question:
How can I enable the USB cable connection?
need your suggestion please...
Sorry for my bad English...
Hello kartonodeh
I have the same problem too, only its somewaht different. On my main PC, I can use my phone completley , no probs. I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Windows Mobile Device Center, and actve sync.
On the other PC,I use windows 7 x32 ALTHOUGH i have Windows Mobile Device Center 2003.
I am not sure what is the problem/difference althoug I am now installing the new Mobile device center. Try it too, it may work.
There are many threads discussing this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579612.

I can connect through 64 bit and not 32 bit, which is REALLY weird since 32 bit drivers are, you know, MORE. Anyway, its made by Microsoft, what do you expect. I believe its a marketing scam
Theory: Make a windows device = 200$ income
Make new Windows 7 = 200$ income
But thats probalby just 400$ from each user WHO HAS BOTH!!. well, thats not enough. Make those two products not work together = customers telephone = $$$ from calls. Then, make only 64 bit drivers so 32 bit users HAVE to upgrade = another 200$.
Am I right?? Anyway all this is out of the thread so,
Possible fix :
1. Remove the device from device manager and disconnect Kiaser from PC (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456985.aspx)
2. Uninstall Windows Mobile device center.
3. Reboot and reinstall WMDC.
4. Reconnect your Kaiser and hopefully the drivers should be reloaded.
Hope I helped
Start/settings/connection/usb to pc and uncheck "enable advanced network fuctionality
