Hi can anyone help. My windows vista home premium laptop has automatically updated itself and now my vario 3 wont synch with it. Iv hard reset my vario 3 to see if this was an issue but didnt resolve. Any ideas how to resolve this at all
I sometimes get the problem where the device wont sync with Vista after its been powered up for a long time without a reboot (i.e. more than half a day) or if I haven’t rebooted the machine since the last sync. If I reboot my machine it works perfectly then.
Weird!
Unless you have added a third party software firewall, WMDC 6.1 should still sync fine. As poster above says, reboot both devices.
I had this after a windows update, i just uninstalled WM device centre, connected the phone and did a search for updates and it re-downloaded it from MS
thanks
thanks guys. all sorted now

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.

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

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 :

After a hard reset on the TyTn my computer is no longer detecting it when I connect the phone to USB cable. The computer makes a sound when I connect it, but Windows Mobile Device Centrer say that TyTn II is not connected, and it does not show up in My Computer eather.
I've tryed to delete the partnership and reconnect the phone, but nothing happens.
Can anyone help me please! Now I cant install any of my programs og transfer files between the computer and the pocket pc/phone.
Try this:
tap Start > Settings > Connections.
tap USB to computer.
Uncheck the Enable advanced network functionality box

I uninstalled Windows Mobile Device Centrer and then tryed the tip you described here. At first it looked ok, my computer detected the device and installed the drivers and reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Centrer.
But my device is still not showing up in Windows Mobile Device Centrer or My Computer
Check your personal firewall settings and open the ports MS asks you to at the Windows Mobile home/support page...
Go into task manager & see if Activesync is running. I have the same problem with my tilt & if I kill activesync then reattach it takes a moment the first time, but then it works.
Make sure you are running the latest version of WMDC. I absolutely could not get WMDC to work with my HTC Wizard for months. After MS came out with an updated version of WMDC (around June, I think) it started working fine.
If you absolutely can't get it to work, consider using emoze for over the air syncing of cal, contacts, mail, etc. (or an on-line exchange account.) I had to do that for a few months until I got it to work. Emoze has the advantage of being free. Unfortunately, neither will allow file syncronization, tho.
There is no activesync running.
And everything was working just fine before my device went "mental" and I had to hard reset. So before the hard reset I could use WMDC on this computer, transfer files and run active sync. But now I cant.
I also got an online exchange account so I can sync calender and contacts. But I want to be albe to transfer files to my computer and install new software.
My WMDC version is: 6.1.6965
Some more info about the computer may help. For instance, I take it from your usage fo Windows Mobile Device Center that you are running Vista. In any case, since the problem is with the computer and not the Kaiser, I would see if the manufacturer would provide some support.
Yes, im running Vista and I buildt the PC my self.
But Im not sure its realy the PC that is the problem, because I made the changes (Hard Reset) to the device and thats what caused the problem.
Anyway, I was hoping for some way to debug/troubleshoot this problem.
I am having the same problem. I sync to any one of 8 computers at work and one at home. Work runs XP PRO and Home VISTA Ultimate x64 all worked fine untill this week. I have not made any changes since the last sync, the computers know it's hooked up due to activesync opening and trying to connect when I plug in via USB. But it never connects. I want to flash to Dutty's newest ROM but can't connect. I sync all contacts and e-mail wirelessly but need the computer to flash (I do not have a sd card yet) Any idead would be great! I have tried the ideas listed above but no joy. I have not hard reset the device as of yet ( I need some things off of it first)

BUMP
I really need help with this!!! I'm pulling my hair out!
Did any of you that had this problem find a solution? I have the exact same issue except a hard reset will fix it for a while, and then the problem will reoccur a few months later. No software has been added during the time frame. Very annoying.
i've got just the same problem! plaese help us!

omg!
try activesync for XP. It came with the phone or you can download it from.

Hello I've read around on this problem, and I cant find a fix for it. Orange UK HTC Diamond, I don't have the driver CD or anything but it seems it should be stored on the device itself.
I plugged it into my laptop (Vista x32 Home Premium), and first time it comes up with "Uknown device installed. Searching preconfigured drivers." It closes and nothing happens.
I have WMDC 6.1 installed, and have unchecked advanced network functionality.
If I install XP on a VMware virtual machine, will I be able to activesync to that ? (eventually I want to install HardSPL etc.)
Anyway, and hints/tips would be amazing.
vista and diamond
I just got my Diamond this weekend, I was upgrading from an HTC P4000. I was out of town (my home pc is XP) so I decided to sync my contacts over his vista machine (btw can this be done easily pda to pda? bluetooth?) The P4000 had trouble syncing with vista, took a few tries. After outlook at all my stuff from my old phone, I put my Diamond in and... nothing. Didn't see it, but it was charging. I fought Vista for about an hour to get it working, I had to download a windows mobile center patch off of microsoft, and restart the computer+phone.
When I got home to my XP machine, I plugged in and activesync took care of everything.
All the advice I can give you is try uninstalling your phone drivers (in device manager) and try different usb ports, and restart.
heres a link to the MS troubleshooting page I tried:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-troubleshooting.mspx
Hmm I'm starting to think it might be the standard USB connection that I'm using, do I need to use the standard HTC cable?
I've just tried phone on XP, and its bringing up the same error with Activesync 4.5
It is well-known that in vista you have to download, and install, Windows Mobile Device Center to sync any WM device, even PPCs.
So what's the deal?
Hey i'm also having this problem, spent ages trying to get it to work and tried
uninstalling and reinstalling everything but just get a message on the phone saying
install ActiveSync 4.5 on PC even though im using Vista.
Any ideas??

You can't use ActiveSync on VISTA!!! Can't you read the MANUAL or make a search?! Install Windows Mobile Device Center from MSFT site.
For God's sake, use the included CD, it has ALL you need to start synching.
I have x64 Home Premium, and it worked out of the box.
I'm happy for you but the first thing I did was install WMDC6.1, as stated in my first post, and as I said it isn't syncing with activesync on XP either
Recently I'm unable to sync my Vario III with my Vista x64 or Windows XP Pro desktop PC's. I don't sync often - last time was in March which worked fine.
At first I thought the problem was with WMDC on my Vista PC. I uninstalled WMDC re-installed, but it's made no difference.
The symptoms i'm getting are that when I start WMDC with the phone connected sing USB, I get the splash screen, then it sticks and goes no further. WMDC will start only if the phone is not connected.
If I plug it into the XP Pro PC, Activesync 4.5 starts, the animated ball spins in Activesync, but doesn't complete.
I think the problem is with the phone rather than either WMDC or Activesync, as I can start Pocket Controller on Vista and see the phone, and I can connect to the phone using Co-Pilot Central to download speed camera updates.
The last thing I did was to the phone was install Google apps like Youtube mobile and Search. Can these interfere with Activesync and WMDC? I've removed them but it still won't connect.
I've tried changing the USB connection type from advanced to normal, but that didn't fix it.
I get the usual windows sounds upon connection and disconnection, but WMDC doesn't work.
One clue here. If I set a password to protect the phone, upon connection, the phone locks and the PC says to unlock the phone. I type the password on the phone to unlock it, but the PC sits there with the same message to unlock the phone. So WMDC sees the phone up to a point.
I've also removed the partnerships from both the phone and the PC's, but neither WMDC or Activesync detect the phone as a new device. Activesync on the phone shows no errors.
I've tried everything I can think of and am still convinced it's a phone problem. I've searched for similar problems on XDA but haven't found anything similar.
Sorry for the long post!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike
Tried another cable?

Yes. Made no difference. Didn't see how it could really - since apps like Pocket Controller and CoPilot Central can see the phone.
I've had many activesync/WMDC problems over the years but never one quite like this. It wouldn't be so bad if it gave an error message or something, but it doesn't. There's nothing related in the event log either.
Baffled!

Woops. How did I miss it. There is something in the event log.
'Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to communication (0x80072745) failure (see data for failure code).'
I tried looking up the code using the Event Log Online Help but it has '...no additional information at this time'.
Oh well. At least I've got something to Google.
I figured it out. It was the device - the MDA Vario III.
My girlfriends phone - Palm Treo Pro - connects ok to the Vista PC on her account. WMDC worked fine with it. I plugged in my Vario III whilst still logged into her account, and WMDC wouldn't work.
I tried it on my account one more time, still wouldn't work. Reset the phone to factory defaults, re-configured it, connected it to the Vista PC, and WMDC worked fine.
I have no idea why it wouldn't work right before. In all other respects the phone was fine.
