That's because AERO doesn't run at the moment at screen resolutions higher than 800*600.
Boot into SAFE MODE - Delete New Installed Graphic Card Drivers - Enable Windows 7 Classic theme in Windows and Reinstall drivers!

Can someone PLEASE reply ?
I am desperate. I deleted the HPA Partition in order to free up 3Gigs and installed Windows 7.
I followed all the tutorials, so i installed ECDriver (Vista Compatibility Mode + Run as Administrator) and Touch Screen Driver.
I mention that i see HTC Embedded Controller (in device manager) after installing ECDriver , but touch screen doesnt work (after installing touchscreen drivers) = No Pen or Touch Input is available for this Display
What am i doing wrong ?!?

I also had the same problem, so, I've installed the VGA driver from the package the way mentioned somewhere here and in the same order, as I think the new VGA driver installed with the Win7 installation is missing an important bit at the end of the installation. After that, and after a reboot, the touch started, but I did not get a calibration screen. Even without the calibration, the screen seemed to be fine. I've also disabled Aero just in case as I did not want any more blue screens.

So you have installed ECDriver, Touchscreen and VGADriver (WinVista Compatible & Run as Administrator) in this order ?
When i install VGADriver, i get a 'Cannot copy'. I thought the driver was corrupt and tried re-downloading it, but this didn't solve the situation.
How did you manage to install it ?!?

First I've installed just touchscreen driver and it did not work, so I've installed EC driver and then touchscreen and it also failed. So, I've added the VGA. I think it did not want to install with Vista compatibility so I think I forced it through with XP compatibility, got a message saying the driver was older than what I had installed, I said yes, please, go ahead! It then installed and at the end some CMD windows poped up and then closed and I then installed touch screen again. Nothing seemed to have happened then, so I've restared the computer, had all my fingers crossed (very, very technical!) and voilá, touch screen was there.

Thanks for the support. I tried several times, following exactely your steps, but i didn't manage to make it functional.
Unfortunately I had to go back to Windows Vista.
Now i have Windows 7 Vista Ultimate SP2, instead of the preistalled Windows Vista Business OEM.
Althought it's running ok, i am waiting for the final version of Windows 7 (not the RTM that i tried installing).
Win7 installed = 7 GB, Windows Vista Ultimate = 14 GB :|

Hi
Sorry to hear that it did not work for you. Like I~ve mentioned elsewhere, the only thing that did not work for me all the way is the sd card that keeps dropping from explorer.
Did I mention that I did not do a clean install? I've installed it as an upgrade and had all the functions (Wifi, BT, Phone) on while upgrading to avoid the problem some people have of the wifi connection going missing when upgrading(W7)/downgrading(XP). I've been busy at work so did not have time to use it much or test it some more.

Well, you missed to mention that
I tried a fresh install, after deleting the HPA partition (now i have 37GB Hdd, instead of 33).
Maybe that's why it didn't work for me...
A friend of mine gave my his Shift to try installing Win7 via Upgrade. Maybe it works.
BTW : Windows 7 Ultimate SP2 is running just perfect on Shift. Too bad it occupies 20GB (after drivers and updates)

USB Tethering: How ?

The cyanogen rom 4.2.3 has USB tethering support, but I can not get it to work, mainly because of missing information/documentation.
In 'settings' 'wireless controls' there is a nice 'Internet tethering' option to switch it on. When I switch that on then my Windows XP PC shows an unknown device 'Andriod Phone' and would like to install drivers for it. Where can I get these drivers from ?
Markus

I would also like to know how the usb tethering works for a mac as well. Didnt find any information on that. Thanks in advance.

You may need to get the drivers from the Android SDK, but with regards to USB tethering, your phone should be recognised as an NDIS based network device and installed automatically by Windows. Not sure about XP, but it installs automatically on Vista and 7

Under Ubuntu Linux (from an end-user perspective), when a G1 is connected with USB tethering enabled, network manager connects as if the phone were a standard, ethernet connection.

I have the Android SDK (1.6r1) and I point the driver install wizard at the usb_driver directory when he wants to install the device. Despite this the 'Found new Hardware' Wizard come up with 'Cannot install this Hardware'.

For xp you have to install drivers from htc sync software. Just google 'htc sync'. Should have been asked in q&a.

Nothing happens on Mac OS X 10.5.8 neither on 10.6.1

Isnt this Q&A? but I think this is it.... http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/HTC-Sync-Download-81096.html
Im trying to get this to work also

I couldn't get it to work on my Windows XP SP2 computer at work. I get a code 10.

Guys, don't forget to use search! I've seen these issues brought up in at least 3 or 4 threads, and tons of posts.

If you're running windows XP the driver isn't included on your computer. Some people have installed HTC Sync to get the drivers, personally I got them from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445436
I can confirm that the driver from that post works, I am using tethering with my laptop right now to write this post!

The search doesnt always give you what your lookin for if you dont word it a certain way man................
I think im gonna need a step by step.... I got the file... the computer recognizes the device.... But it doesn't register as a connection....

To everyone that is having problems tethering:
I was having the same issues. At first I wasn't able to get it to install, and then it would just keep saying the device couldn't start.
i found a very simple solution. I went into device manager, uninstalled all of my usb ports, and restarted my computer.
When it restarted, it automatically installed the usb drivers, and the tethering has worked ever since.

I could not get this to work either, finally after 3 days of messing with this on my work pc, I got it to work. First download htc sync from here http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=631&news_id=270 then unzip and install to your pc. Next tick on the option to usb tether while the phone is plugged in. It will say found Android phone Sdk or something like that. I did this on my xp pc at work that had no htc drivers previously installed. Next I went to my device manager and under network adapters you will see the yellow exclamation point, right click on that and update driver, 1st install from a specific location, 2nd Don't search I will choose driver to install. 3rd Have disk, 4th browse to C/program files/htc/htc driver/driver files/xp_86x then hit open and click ok. It might give a "stop warning" ignore it and continue. When its done installing you should be ready to go.....

I'm so frustrated with this whole process. I've done every step you've outlined, and I still get a code 10 - cannot start the driver. And I still don't have USB tethering. What am I doing wrong?

That's your problem then. Yeah update to sp3 and you will be good. I promise.

I'm running into the same tethering trouble, but appear to meet all the criteria mentioned in this thread and other threads i've come across. the bottom line is i can connect with ADB access and mount my phone's SD card via the usb connection, but tethering doesn't work under several versions of Cyanogen on my laptop. currently I have CM 4.2.12.2 on my rooted Dream. I have windows SP3 installed (installed it twice because problem persisted). I've uninstalled all the USB ports per an above post, rebooted and plugged my phone in. The laptop reinstalls the USB ports, and finds the phone as an "ADB Interface" named "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface". I can update the drivers with the google SDK USB drivers which makes the device an "Android Phone" named "Android Composite ADB Interface" instead. With either set of drivers installed, once I go to Settings on my phone and enable tethering, the device under windows goes away and instead i get yellow question mark "Other Devices" named Android Phone. I can try to force it to use the same USB drivers but it won't install them.
With tethering turned off, i can successfully type "adp devices" on my laptop console and see that my phone is there. once i turn tethering on, the same command shows no devices.
The Dream works with tethering just fine on my windows pc and shows up as a "Network adapter" named "Windows Mobile-based Internet Sharing Device".
My laptop is a compac presario in case that matters. what do i need to do on it to make tethering work?

just found the solution. a lot of posts were talking about installing microsoft active sync. sounded pointless considering it's an android phone, but it ends up being that the drivers for "windows mobile-based internet sharing device" are part of the active sync installation. i installed active sync, plugged in my phone, enabled tethering and then the laptop installed the correct drivers and it all worked without a hitch. hope this helps others!

[Q] WinCE 5.0 communication problem --> anyone solution?

Hi,
I'm posting my question overhere because of all the knowledge around the XDA forums and his members. So hopefully someone can help me.
Yesterday I started to unlock a Medion MD96260 navigation system running on WinCe5.0. Everything went fine and I made a backup of the original navigation software. Synchronisation with Windows7 and WMDC was perfect! I've already copied a TomTom version to the device and suddenly the connection was gone.
The device gives me: Activesync error 608.
First my pc used mobile sync drivers wich was working oke.
But suddenly W7 installed Windows CE2003 drivers and after that the connection was broken.
If thried:
- Disable windows CE2003 drivers
- Deletion of all the drivers and a new installation
- Other usb sync drivers
None of all worked....
Does anyone has got a solution?
Thanks in advance, Grtz John

you will need the stuff from this post -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648067
install - ER2003Edit_1_4_26.msi on pc
it will enable you to be able to open the ms_.nbf
the ms_.nbf needs to be put in the same folder as
HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
nk.nbf
ms_.nbf
when upgrading.
the ms_.nbf is where all the old factory programs are coming from its known as the EXTROM.
it houses programs that the factory thinks that should always be installed but not uninstalled by the public, thats why they do not appear in remove programs tab.but we do not need a lot of this stuff as we are now running WM 6.5.
the ms_.nbf that is here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648067
has already been cleaned of any factory placed program .cabs so you can use that one straight off,it does contain 2 splash images that you could change?
its best not too have any .cabs in ms_.nbf as you will then be able to do this -

hi advanced'

extracted them to my desktop' installed the one that opens the rom image.
opend the rom image had a look it said i was on o2 but ive unlocked it to my network orange, but i didnt change anything just save the image and came out of the programe.
then i opened windows mobile connected my xdall to it and created a new folder in games called smart, i then copy the ms file and the himaupgrade to this folder.
which ever way i try to run this ie from my windows mobile sysc, i get the same message first it says about update and delete my old software, goes through the checking stage then says update has a problem please take out usb and soft reset device and try again.
and if i try to run it from my mobile it says there is no application associated with ms_ run the application first then openthis file from within the application.
this is driving me up the wall, also i am using windows 7 might that be a problem.
many thanks

when all hooked up ie. device in bootloader (you cannot update in win mobile it needs to be in bootloader mode)and all ready to run, make sure u have all 3 files in same folder on desktop pc not win mobile device...
3 files are -
HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe - update app
nk.nbf - actual win mo 6.5 rom image
ms_.nbf - extrom image
the ms_.nbf can be opened with ER2003Edit_1_4_26.msi and just delete the o2 option from the 2 drop down and type in ORANGE then go - file - save ROM image - exit
after update app has finished make sure you do this before you start up device for first time -
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use Record Button, change values with Camera Button)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad/Action Button and wait until OS starts.

have u tried installing"Windows Mobile Device Center " which ya get from microsoft web site.
Windows Mobile Device Center - for win 7
ActiveSync - for xp

then when installed restart pc...
then follow -

this great guide is for win 7 as well..follow the Windows Vista guide first to make win 7 play ball then after a pc reset follow the Windows XP guide for the actual updating...
and make sure you go through the different driver install ie. USBAS.zip
the reason for this is that win 7 runs "Windows Mobile Device Center" but the himalaya upgrader needs the drivers from the older "ActiveSync" which runs on xp.
make sure you have -
Uncheck the 'Allow USB Connections' box, and select 'OK'. in "Windows Mobile Device Center" settings before you try hooking up device in bootloader mode...
which WM 6.5 ROM are you trying to run ?
updating on win 7 works...it just takes some tweeking....

It's ok to update without windows mobile center, you need just driver.

i've installed windows xp sp2 with a step by step guide on xda (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436982) without problems.
At the end, when we have to install wlan drivers, i've noticed that marvell sdio sd8686 appear in the hardware list but there is also a yellow ! on this hardware with the error code number 10, windows cannot start hardware.
I've tried with some other drivers that i found on internet but with the same results. Someone can help me?

Hi en_ky!
I was following the other installation method "Installing Windows XP with Windows Post Install (WPI)" that you can find on this forum, but basically should be the same.
Anyway, regarding WLAN on the WPI method it says:
"13. WLAN: Drivers are copied to c:\wlandrivers, install from there when you are asked for them later". This step is just before installing CYGWIN
After finishing with SwapResolution,
"Now it usually asks about the WLAN drivers, see step nr. 13."
"If it asks about drivers for Windows Mobile, just answer yes until it finishes."
"To get Wifi working, you have to copy the "copy HTC Shift XP Drivers\WLAN\sdbus.sys to c:\windows\system32\drivers\ say yes to the replace dialog and reboot."
"DO THIS IN SAFE MODE ONLY. This is how I got mine to work. I had the same problem with the yellow and not working wifi code 10 in the device manager."
"If you copy this without being in safe mode, it will not work because after the reboot the system will replace the overridden version with the old one again."
So check again all the steps and do the last one in Safe Mode (I think here is your problem)!
Good luck!

thank you for your reply,
I tried to resolve my problem with help of windows update and an eterneth connection for internet. At first it doesn't start with the same yellow ! But after a restart, it starts!!!!
Many thanks to you in any case; i know that your answer will be usefull for another person with this problem!
