To make your BA compatable with Vista download Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update from offsite.Choose the package?depending what OS you running - x86 or x64! And you will be able to sync all your contacts,data,programs...

Windows Mobile Device Center replaced Activesync in Vista.

I had the same problem, with the orginal Windows Mobil Device Manager which you get with vista you can only sync files, but nothing else.
You have to download Mobil Device Manager Beta 3, after installing this one you can make a full sync with your pda.

i did just that..but as soon as i plug in my BA sync center makes an error nd i get the close or debug window...whatever i do..it remains open nd u can browse and sync pictures but no contacts or installations...nd activesync on my BA wont connect..its always waiting for network!

if u use wm5 on your ba try this setting on your ba: start => settings => connections => usb to pc = and check "enabe advanced network functionaliity"

thanks guys the update worked a treat on my xda2`s with helmi upgrade

its already enabled....i've been tweaking with setting for a month now (i've had vista for 2 months) nd i cant get it to work :S
i think there's some service in vista thats disabled or something..i just cant figure it out...btw...i also have office 2007 (outlook) if that helps...if anyone knows of something else that can sync my contacts with outlook plz tell me.
btw..helmi...u took the data backup prog from ur latest rom..where can i get it from?

Hello, you are sure you have e release version of vista?, because i sync my pda every day with my computer with the things i told here, you can try die delete the device from devicemanager and let the system find it with the new drivers form the mobil device manager beta 3.
After i istall the MDM3 my system find a new deivce and install it.
Somting is wrong with your system.
I use outlook 2002 on vista, it's a little bit buggy ( every startup it want make a new profil), but i have not a newer one.

yeah i have the pre-release final version..build 6000...but it seems that there's something buggy with the installation...i'm gonna reinstall windows nd see wat happens.
thx.

Theres no such thing as a pre-release final version!
You have the final version which was released 30th November 2006 to large companies, and to the general public on the 30th January 2007.

i have the final version...but i got it before nov30....which makes it pre-release...anyways its the same windows....the final build...nd thats not the point of my question!
anyone knows anything abt the backup program that used to come with helmi's rom?

just as a reminder, this tool will not let u restore the backup on different version of wm5.
say you backup on aku3.2, then u upgrade to aku3.5, the restore would not work.
ActiveSync is a better tool to backup contacts, calendar ......

OK i will say to everyone that official presentation of vista and office2007 is after few hours, so comments like i have vista from microsoft legally are just ridiculous, and the ridiculous part is not that someone have it, but that this someone do not know how to connect hes pocketpc to it. Only people that have vista before the official launch are large OEMs and Small group of beta testers which recieved thir copies as reward of beta testing. These are the two legal ways of having vista.
[/offtopic]

I got mine through the Beta program. It wasn't released on 30th November by the way, its original release was 8th November to MSDN subscribers.
/ontopic - I do however have a lot of problems with the Sync Center and my BA. I've not actually got it to sync properly yet on RTM.

Has anyone got any thoughts on the new system? Does the ActiveSync replacement:
1) allow more than one device to be connected?
2) avoid duplicate items?
Cheers!

@Biohead: yeah i forgot about MSDN subscribers you are right, but I am mad about that everyone claims that they have licensed vista and they are not MVP's, MSDN Subscribers, Technical Beta Testers or OEM's, why they are trying to lie, i was in the beta test, i have tested every version provided on connect, and i have not recieved a copy of vista, maybe guys who provided more bugs had copys. whatever i will buy it maybe after SP1 because it really needs a lot of patching. Vista is not what it was promissed to be(look at longhorn demos a way back and you will understand what i mean)
Ontopic:
I have problems with it too, The first time it syncs fine, after that it does not work at all or crash upon connecting.The temporary Fifx for this is remove the WMDC and reinstall it. I think it is not BA specific issue it is all WM device specific one. How we can not have problems with activesync under XP?

i dont know how valid this is right now...since vista is already out...but here's proof that my version is genuine...
i could send u pics of the intallation cds if u want!
anyway...all i needed to know is whether the sync center was buggy or not...nd it seems that i'm not the only one with this problem....btw...a simple solution to this problem would be to install TinyXP on a Vmware workstation nd sync ur BA on that...its a hassle...but it works.

Remember, Sync Center IS STILL IN BETA!!!

I dont want to let you down, but there is NO versions of WINDOWS VISTA available for BA and all PPCs, at least for this moment. The reason getting you confused may be the themes/skin created by Wisbar Advance. Do you know this wonderful software for our PPC World?

Vista...
Open your tomtom soft type "Vista" then search,
may you find...
What about Vista...
can you tell something?
is that skin?
is that Mobile Operating System?
Is that interface theme software plugin or program ? such as 'Wisbar'
Or what?
If you want MS Windows Vista...
Goto wwwdotmicrosoftdotcom
I don't fun with you that's true.
But here you can ask about only Windows mobile based systems,
I think that must be...
thx.

Why do all of these people think that vista is for pocket pcs? I've already had to explain it to one guy.

ROM Update with Vista, any possibility?

Hello,
since a couple of days I try to upgrade my Trinity with a new Rom, but I have no chance. I get this message Erros 260:Connection , so do somebody know how I can flash my Rom under Vista?It would be very nice, thanks a lot!

turn off usb-connection in windows mobile device center, and try again!
if it doesn't work, try "des bootloader", start it and try to flash again.
perhaps you need activesync 4 drivers for your device, i found them somewhere in this board
good luck

thanks a lot, where can I find the active sync drivers, I searched but I found nothing, anybody an idea?

Vista in my eyes is almost perfect - never had any issue!
- using three external hard drives without any problem
- syncing with my Wizard (of course WMDC doesn't "store" contacts, it just syncs them with an Exchange server or Outlook - and it does it even better than ActiveSync)
- and all other stuff I did previously with XP (except ROM upgrading of my Wizard - but that's not a problem of Vista as there are already upgrade tools, we just don't have them so far cause no operator released any upgrade recently or the gurus here haven't been able to hack it to accept custom ROMs)

Hey can you tell me how to make my version of wmdc do what you say your does? As far as syncing the contacts and setting up my mobile email? I only had vista for about a week now and trying to figure it out; i was so dependant on XP but had to move on. Any help will be appreciated.

Actually there are no "tweaks" to make it do what is is supposed to do - it did it straight away! I have no idea where you have problems - WMDC has exactly the same functionality (and some additions to AS) and same options, just different interface. Just go to "mobile device settings" or whatever it is called (I am using the German version) and set it up to sync whatever you want to sync...
If it doesn't work try to delete the partnership and set up a new one...

Diamond Vista sync problem

Hi there. Few days ago I changed my OS from XP to Vista. From that time I couldnt sync my Diamond. I have got SP1 and all updates. I wanted install Windows Mobile Device Center Update but when the instalattion was nearly at 99% it reversed at uninstall without any message. I havent any Windows Mobile Device Center icon between programs but I have this icon in Control Panel. I can connect my Diamond to laptop, I can transfer files for example but there is no tasks or contacts sync. Can anybody help me? I treid many thinks I found on the Internet but still no solution. I checked the Firewall as well and the related applications are allowed. I even tried to switch off the firewall but didnt help me.

So I found the solution by myself. Maybe it wil be useful for somebody. Before installing Windows Mobile Device Center Update you should do at least the following:
- update graphic driver at the newest one,
- update all Microsoft Windows Mobile Remore Adapter related things.
Important: the mobile must be conneected to the computer during searching for updates and installing them as well.
My computer is ASUS eeePC 1000H. Now it works like charm.

I have only one thing to say about Vista:
Its an amazing OS I love Vista.
Waiting patiently for Window 7.
Greets.

Vista It's piss of ****...
1. My daughter got Laptop with Vista (Toshiba), during 4 month she had to Re install OS (and all programs) after Vista made Auto Update and could not recover from it..
2. Many programs I bought for her with good money, could not
run on the Vista.
3. Vista it's like forest.. so many trees , so you could not see the forest

Step one: Install Windows on it.

All done now the world can start moving again...

Yes, same here. Works perfect. Syncs with Address book and calendar.
For more advanced (like TomTom home) functions I installed VMware Fusion with Windows XP vpc and then installed activesync.

Thanks Guys
Tks Guys tried Missing sync keeps crashing when transferring contacts...
Sync mate seems to be the better more stable so far...
Thanks for your help....
