I have two laptops. I can sync with the Windows XP laptop with no problem, however, I can't sync with the Vista computer at all. I've even tried reformatting the Vista laptop, but can't get it to sync. I've tried uninstalling the driver for the connection through the Device Manager as well as the Windows Mobile Device Center. Then reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Center and the driver. I've checked the cable and USB port. They work for everything else I can throw at them, but can't get them to sync. Windows Mobile Device Center does not show any devices connected. Any advice?
Laptop 1
Windows XP SP3
Activesync version 4.5
Microsoft Outlook 2007
Laptop 2
Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
Windows Mobile Device Center
Outlook 2007
Cell phone
AT&T Tilt
Windows Mobile version 6.1

I got my Kaiser yesterday. It works fine, but I can't get it to sync with my laptop running Vista. My old TyTn was fine, but I've deleted that partnership and now I can't get the Kaiser to sync.
It appears in Device Manager under Network Adapters as Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #5 (I don't know what it thinks adapters 1-4 are).
Any ideas?
I'm using vista 64 bit and windows mobile device centre and have no problems synching via the supplied cable, haven't tried bluetooth yet though.
I assume you are not using Activesync but Windows Mobile Device Center? Also under Connections in the Settings menu you find the option USB to pc uncheck (or check) the option provided by this program to check if this will fix your problem...good luck...
I had ActiveSync working with XP and then I got a new computer with Vista so I had to get the Device Center. I tried plugging in the phone with the USB and syncing it and it says "sync complete!" but it hasn't transferred anything to the computer. I had Thunderbird and when it didn't sync with it I installed Outlook but it didn't sync with that either. I went to the settings and checked the box to sync just the Contacts, which is the only thing I want to sync. Anyone know why it isn't doing anything?
Have you got the latest device centre installed:

Also, have you got Vista SP1 installed?
Yes to both questions.
Is there any other software that will work? All I want to do is transfer my contacts from my old phone to the computer and then back onto my new phone.
Hey...I running Windows 7 Ultimate and i was getting a similar problem...Try Connecting it with Bluetooth that worked for me...i just figured that out..
does anyone know how to connect to Windows 7 having issues connecting
Connecting to Windows 7 is same as connecting to Vista. You do not need Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 to connect. Under control panel – internet and network, look for the Windows Mobile Device Centre icon and click on that. This should trigger a step by step solution
Hope this helps

Hi there i am using the Mobile device centre and it’s just not seeing the phone, my Diamond is seen fine.... it’s getting annoying but i can’t seem to get it right, it does make a connection sound when plugging in the USB but there is nothing active to access the phone
The driver is not being installed correctly. Try running Windows Update AFTER connecting the Trinity, and see if that installs the driver.
If not, try turning off Advanced Network under USB to PC, on the phone, and try again.
Hey all, ok so my phone is detected in all others computers but not mine...
I m on windows seven and i tried windows xp, vista and seven, ITS OK !
When i connect it to my usb computer there are no option to choose active sync or usb connection or internet sharing from the phone
From another computer there no problem to use usb connection but mine nothing happen when i try..
Any one can help me ?
If your using windows 7 you need to download the sync center from microsoft. It was originally installed on vista but 7 doesnt have it..
just plug the usb cable and windows will do the rest
I use Win7 since 1 year and i've nothing problem for sync my phones.
All the tools for mobiles with WM are in win7.

Hello.
When in ActiveSync mode try to disable the faster dat syncronization; Win7 should now be able to detect your phone.
Otherwise try to upgrade the USB phone driver in the Device manager (letting Device Manager search the internet for the updated driver).
This worked for me
Best regards

My copy of windows 7 (64bit) which i bought on 22nd oct, didnt have the sync software originally installed. when i connected the phone for the first time it automatically downloaded the sync software.

sounds more like a not working USB port (driver issues) or a win7 RC release

Hey, I had the same problem. The drivers that come with the phone are x86, not x64, so you need to go to:
<br>microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6eb8d0aa-bc6b-4864-8ffe-dc26e1d9f843&displaylang=en
It's the 64 bit version of Windows Mobile Device Centre. The drivers don't come from HTC, they come from Microsoft.
The Diamond should connect without installing anything. W7 downloads drivers automatically. I'm using W7 Ultimate 32 and 64 bit versions and have no problem connecting my PDAs (W7 RC and RTM) through USB or BT.
same prob.em...but resolved
in win 7 32: just restart the device(htc) until will be recognized.maybe 1-2 soft reset.hope u have succes.
