usb driver for vista

[sthays]

First post so be gentle :)

I've searched past posts and found similar questions but not many answers

I was happy using my mda vario 2 via usb to my mce laptop

I purchased vista ultimate on release date and since then haven't been able to connect via usb.

I'm currently using it via bluetooth but would prefer my usb back

Has t-mobile released an updated usb driver for vista yet ?

I take it that you have downloaded the Active Sync for Vista 4.5

Once you have this downloaded, when you first connect your device it will install all the new drivers and carry out the process of setting up the syc data.


I hope that this will help you in some way

P.S. Search Microsoft.com for active sync for vista

Vista uses WMDC, not activesync.......

You don't need Active Sync 4.5 in Vista, you need Windows Mobile Device Center, its already available thru Windows Update or website

will WMDC allow you to run RUU programs from this forum, or do I still need to figure out the whole usbser.sys thing? I'm pretty savvy, but I'm still a bit confused on this point.

i have the Windows Mobile Device Center software.

I'm wanting to use the mda as a modem on my laptop so i need a usb driver.
The usb driver included on the install disc is for xp only and isnt compatible with vista.

Is that correct or have people have got it working ?

thanks in advance for any help :)

I can't even get my device to be reconnized by Vista anymore. WMDC doesnt detect it at all...

To install the modem drivers for vista, edit the usbmdm file like so adding
"include=mdmcpq.inf" in these three sections.

[Modem1.NT]
DriverVer=05/13/1999
include=mdmcpq.inf
CopyFiles=FakeModemCopyFileSection
AddReg = All, MfgAddReg, Modem1.AddReg, Voice, EXTERNAL, MDMGL007.V90_Voice,MDMGL004.ExtraCID,MDMGL001.Ters eResp

[Modem1.NT.Services]
include=mdmcpq.inf
AddService=usbser, 0x00000000, LowerFilter_Service_Inst

[Modem1.NT.HW]
include=mdmcpq.inf
AddReg=LowerFilterAddReg

For the RUUs, you have to replace the WMDC drivers with the old ActiveSync ones; there's a thread on that somewhere. As for the USB modem, I would recommend switching to a WM6 ROM - it no longer uses the weird modem drivers, it just appears as a network device automatically, at least in XP, but I would assume Vista has that driver built in because XP does.
