Windows Vista only Uses Mobile Centre.
Windows Vista does not support active sync.
Mobile Centre Only supports Windows Mobile 2003.
Thus.
Vista Does Not Support Windows Mobile 5.
Any Other ways to connect I'm not seeing?
EDIT: My bad, 2003 came before 5, so why is it telling me that it's not supported?
It supports WM5 just fine. Been running Vista since RC1 and have not had any sync problems.
i've been able to use windows vista and have it sync with my wm5 wizard...contact, calendar, etc info appear in outlook just fine after the sync...
Vista was a pain in the ar5e to get WMDC to sync with my k-jam, it is a problem with RNDIS, what you need to do is switch the connection method in Start -> Settings -> Connections USB to PC and set it to serial
then you should be able to get it to work as normal.

I can't seem to find that option in the settings. T_T
EDIT: I've never noticed it before, but my phone is also throwing up error messages about how it can't assign an IP to the netowork
ah ha so you have the same prob I had when I tried it initially, the ACU you are using is to old, you need to upgrade it to ACU 3.3 to get the functionality failing that you can install a simple CAB that will give you the functionality. I have no way of sharing the file so if you mail me your email address I can mail it to you.

Somebody has trouble with WM 2005, ActiveSync 4.0 (in PC) is working not stable or hanging all the time and me too- Magneto with WinXP SP2, office 2003 SP1.
In my experience some solution can be improved as following:
1. ActiveSync via IR - very sample but too slow
2. ActiveSync via Bluetooth - sample and fast
3. ActiveSync via USB, we need to do some steps
+ Turn off firewall of OS windows
+ Open network cards on your Himalaya:: Settings/ Connections/ Network cards
+ Click "Remote NDIS host" and you can see: Marked " Use specific IP addres"
+ Click " Use server-assigned IP address"
+ Click OK
+ Connect your device to PC, ActiveSync must be working at least in my case

@ xpirate
You can try remove activesync 4.0 and reinstall again, reset PC, turn off firewall and reconnect.
the problem i have is with outlook and activesync. whenever i try and use activesync, it pops up with some dialog about outlook not being configured correctly. which is true, seeing as I DONT USE OUTLOOK FOR ANYTHING! so why is this happening? it's not even set to sync email as i dont use outlook!

I noticed the same problem with AS 4 - it would only synchronise Favourites and Files.
Read the error messages carefully and you will find one telling you to use the 'Detect & repair' option on Outlook. I did so and it synced properly.
It was when I went back to Outlook Express that I realised that my OE wasnt the default email client anymore - Outlook had taken over that function. I made OE the default client again and AS stopped synchronising - went back to the same old error.
From the above I can only conclude that AS4 will only synchronise with Outlook and not any other PIM programmes. It also requires Outlook to be your default email client if you want to sync - slimy lil microsoft trick.
If you have a firewall, you will also notice that ActiveSync tries to send out email messages - this is both annoying and scary. Who are these messages intended for - Microsoft? I have blocked AS4 from sending emails on my firewall, but I still have to do a 'detect and repair' which sets Outlook as the default email client everytime I want to sync...
Problemas with the activesync

I got the same problem with my Win2003Server box.
If you are running XP then you need to apply Service Pack 2
If you are running 2003 then you need to apply Service Pack 1
Seems that these packs have files "netrndis.inf" and "Usb_Rndis.ndi" that fix our problem
If you will find these files could you pls send them here? I dont' have SP1 installed and cant find these anywhere ((
I can confirm this.
On my office notebook I don't have SP2 on XP and Activesync does not work via USB (Bluetooth works).
On my home PC I have SP2 on XP and Activesync works via USB.
I guess I have to try to get these files somehow.
Patric
Update: OK, I got netrndis, but I don't have usb_rndis...
Hi Patric,
Thanx for the file!!!
Can you also post: rndismpx.sys AND usb8023x.sys ?
So, hope we will find a solution for non-SPed WinXPs and maybe for non-SPed Win2003
Thx!
OK, the files are attached. Does this help? I'm still missing the USB_rndis.ndi file.
Cheers Patric

Thank you very much for the files! No need for the "usb_rndis.ndi"
It seems to be working on XP but not on my w2k3 box :-(((
Here what to do with files on XP:
1) Open "Drivers" subfolder in your ActiveSync folder (i.e., c:\program files\microsoft activesync\drivers)
2) Copy all three files there: netrndis.inf, rndismpx.sys & usb8023x.sys
3) Put your I-Mate to the cradle
4) When device installation wizard will ask you to proceed with Automatic or Manual installation you need to Choose "Manual". Then open your activesync's Drivers folder. Choose "Windows Mobile-based device" and wait until installation is finishes...
Good Luck!

Have no exact idea cause didn't have such, but try to:
1) Disable ALL possible firewalls
2) Make sure your current ActiveSync Partnership is not "Microsoft Exchange" and if it is, just delete current partnership and create a new one
3) Remove "Email" from your sync list?!
4) Remove "Favorites" from your sync list?!
thx..
but..I have no firewall turned on (i had only microsoft firewall, it's off)
I have never connected to an exchange server, my partnership in activesync is only with my pc.
I have reinstalled activesync, not useful
removing items could help.. i'll give it a try
i'm going to sleep for now, thanks..
I *think* longhorn is very nice, but i'll stay with xp
I copied everything and did the procedure... now I get the error message 'Device can not start (10)'...
Not successful yet...

No Progress what so ever!!
ActiveSycn 4.0 Works after all!!!
I fixed my ActiveSync USB problem...
I downloaded ActiveSync 4.0 from Microsoft's web site and instlaled over current AS4.0.
When I placed my MDA2 on the cradle, the same problem persisted, so with the PDA still in the cradle I unplugged the USB connector and then connected it again but to another port. Now the system detected a "new" device and installed properly this time so now it works 100%.
I hope this procedure helps you too!
By the way, I'm on Win XP (no SP2) and USB 1.1
Best regards,
Rayan
Does the activesync 4 can sync WM2003SE? cuz i got problem saying that version incompatible..
I had win 2000 and with ASync and every thing works a ok, with desktop connection on to Jas Jar via USB.
I upgraded to win xp sp2, installedt MS ASync 4.5 - since then MS Async has never worked.
Before I installed MS Async and had the jas jar connected via USB, i get the standard windows "new hardware found", I run this wizard buy I get there error, saying cant find software device may not work correctly. So I go ok, lets install MS Async 4.5.
I do this, and I connect the Jas Jar to the desktop PC via usb, yet the MS Async cant find a connection.
Yes the cables are all connected, Zone Alarm turned off, and also the XP sp2 firewall is turned off as well.
Any ideas ????
Active Sync 4.5 changes the way it connects from USB Serial Sync Mode to RNDIS Sync Mode. This can cause problems (it does for me). There is a little Microsoft program called ActiveSync Mode which allows you to change back. I you search on the web & find "ActiveSyncMode.sa.CAB" this will install the program. You then go into programs & you will see a new Icon for ActiveSync Mode. Hope this works for you.
Active sync problems
all worked fine now
thanks for the help guys
was thinking of trading in for an Iphone as they have dropped in price to 169 quid !
anyone think this would be a bad idea ?
I'l give this a go myself.
After experimenting with my exec/universal I discovered Activesync 4.5 on my XP Desktop works with the WM6 ROM but not the WM5 one.
But Vista on my Laptop will sync with Windows Mobile 5
I'll certainly check Activesync mode out then I can go back to WM5 as the Ranju core doesnt have msn otherwise everything works really well on it.
Where does th CAB file install to? I tried it on my XDAmini-s/Vario and it still doesnt sync with Activesync4.5
Hello JohnWB
It works for me too !!!!!!
Thank you very much indeed

I can't sync my HD with Vista Ultimate.
I have Mobile Device Center 6.1 (MDC) with all updates and the mobile resources the device CD.
When I connect it with the cable "Windows Mobile-based Device" appear in Windows Device Manager but MDC does not recognise it.
I've tried both enhanced and ordinary data rate option in "USB to PC" settings.
On the other hand the device syncs perfectly with my laptop with the same Vista and MDC versions.
Please advise.
P.S. Excuse my poor English.
i think...
I think you have to dele the client on you device in Active sync in order to create a new and sync on computer 2.
error messages
are you receiving error messages in relation the RNDIS????
No ... there are no error messages.
I've already tried to delete all the partnerships ... and there is no improvement.
I've synced my old phone with the same both PCs ... so there shouldn't be any problems.
Same here,
New HD - connecting it to, Vista 32 Business, doesn't recognize the phone.
Looked everywhere. Vista tries to load Generic RNDIS driver but fails.
Tried windows update no go
Oh have installed Vista's SP2 beta, don't know if that matters
settings
did you try to change:
settings --> connections --> USB to PC --> disable (fast data synchronisation) under active sync
that was it with my vista..
greetz.. migo

Same problem here. Solved by uninstalling WMDC, reboot PC and reinstall WMDC.

Same problem with Vista 64 Ultimate.
Unsolved as yet, but I switched to syncing over BlueTooth and that's fine.
Syncing the HD over USB works on my laptop.
Thanks mate, your solution worked for me. Cheers
Good Afternoon to all,
Quick background info. I have a Touch HD successfully syncing with Windows XP SP2 & ActiveSync in my office, and also Vista Ultimate 64bit SP1 with mobile device manager (or whatever the inbuilt version is called ) at home.
The sync between all three works flawlessly and more than happy with it and have always got access to a working up to date calendar.
However there is one difference, when my phone is sat in its cradle connected via USB to my home PC (vista) it will sync but also allow data connection so, although not really required, it will continue to check for emails, update stocks etc etc. When I am in my office (XP) and try and use anything with regards to connecting to a data connection as listed above, it will not, displaying unable to connect on the weather/stocks tab, or just error in emails.
Any ideas how I can get the XP machine to do what I get with the vista machine? the only way i am working around it at the moment is on the XP machine unticking allow USB connections, removing and re-connecting phone and then it does not connect to ActiveSync and allows a data connection. This works but not the greatest way to do things as have to remember to do the reverse to sync it back again.
Sorry to go on for a bit but wanted to get in as much info as possible in the hope someone may be able to help with my dilemma.
Regards
Jody
Hi Jody,
Is your ActiveSync (on Windows XP) the latest available version ?
Have you checked that all settings are the same on both computers ? (well, as Active Sync is different from Mobile Device Manager, some settings are not called the same).
As a side note, how did you manage to sync your HD with Vista 64 ?
There are so much people complaining it doesn't work.
Did you use the standard v6.0 version "Windows Mobile Device Manager" that is already available in Vista, or did you upgrade to v6.1 ?
Cheers.
When it's synced at home, your Touch HD is using your computers internet connection to update stocks, weather e-mails etc.
When it's synced at work, your device is trying to use your work's internet connection, and failing. Your employer is more than likely not allowing the internet traffic. Do you know if you use a proxy server to connect to the web at work? Do you have unrestricted internet access or is there a firewall?
I do not know enough about how Activesync passes your internet connection to your device. Perhaps someone else knows whether or not this traffic is port 80 and whether or not Activesync automatically uses Internet Explorer's proxy settings, as it is not a global OS thing. Your mail will be pop3 or imap, which are not port 80, in which case the connection to your mail server may be blocked by your employer.
phonatrep - I sync my Touch HD with Vista Home Professional x64 fine straight out of the box, although I think I downloaded the latest WMDC from Microsoft because it does not come bundled with Vista AFAIK.
All the settings are correct, however we do have a rather strict internet firewall running through a proxy. Although I have unrestricted internet access, webmail access is blocked across the board, I am wondering if this is whats stopping me getting emails etc. As an interesting addition, the weather and stocks will update, just cannot use internet or receive emails.
As for syncing with Vista, I have Vista Ultimate 64bit and downloaded the device manager from the microsoft site as didnt find it as part of the original OS. As far as I remember did not hit any problems, other than me pressing wrong thing on the phone and syncing a complete delete of all contacts... oops! has worked perfectly ever since.

Could you please tell me if you use the device manager v6.0 or v6.1 ?
It seems that's part of the trick to make it work.

That would be very kind of you, sorry to bother you with that stuff
Thanks !
Anybody ?
That would really help me to know if that's WMDC 6.0 or 6.1 that really works for you on Vista 64 bit.
Thanks !
Am at work at the moment but will have a look tonight for you and let you know.

Just wanted to give some feedback too. I am also syncing with Vista x64 and XP x86 without any problems. I checked and am using the WMDC 6.0 on Vista, never had any problems since the very beginning.

That's strange I hear a lot of people using WMDC 6.0, which is the one included as factory default in Vista.
There is a 6.1 version that allows to use Windows Mobile 6.1, so I will need WMDC 6.1, but I haven't found anyone using WMDC 6.1 with Vista 64.
I have spent a lot of time searching all forums I know.
I still haven't found anyone successfully using WMDC 6.1 with Vista 64 bit.
(it seems everybody use v6.0)
Is there someone here that uses WMDC 6.1 in Vista 64 bit ?
Thanks !
Ok, I now have WMDC 6.1 installed on Vista 64 bit.
I can sync my HTC Touch HD without any problem.
Please note that I followed this procedure :
-Boot as administrator.
-Install Outlook 2007.
-Reboot as administrator.
-Install Outlook 2007 Service Pack 1.
-Reboot as administrator.
-Install WMDC 6.1 (without the phone connected)
-Reboot as your standard user login.
-Connect the phone to the computer, using the USB cable.
Please note that Microsoft documentations are not consistent about whether or not you need to connect your phone "before" or "after" you install WMDC 6.1.
On some documentations Microsoft says "before", on others Microsoft says "after".
Well, I choose to connect my phone "after" WMDC 6.1 was installed and computer rebooted, and it worked.
Maybe people had problems because when they connect their phone, the default Vista WMDC 6.0 installs a driver for it, then WMDC 6.1 comes and have trouble replacing that driver by the new one.
has anyone figured out syncing with vista ...mine was waorking but now vista updated to 6.1 it won't sync
Try going to Start-Settings-System-USB to PC- and check Enable Advanced Network Functionality
I have tried that ...im lost trying to sync with vista ....active sync 4.5 does not work with vista
you have to use winmo device center and be sure to set it to view all files so u can see the windows folder
WMDC
That's correct you need windmo device center. Active sync is only for x leaving you w/only one option get a compatible product to syncronise on VISTA only. There should be a tread on one of the forums.
Good luck!

What ROM are you using? I am running Vista Ultimate 32 bit and can sync with my phone. Every once in a while it won't connect. All I do is unplug phone, then I kill mobsync.exe, wmdc.exe, then plug phone back in and wait a few seconds. Most times it connects, but sometimes I have to click on the WMDC icon on my desktop to get it to re initiate the connection...try that and hope it works.
wonder what happened why so many people has this problem...was it when microsoft updated to wmdc 6.1
well ill have to get rid of this phone and get the g1
you can always go back to version 6.0:
