Help with Restoring contacts

[mightymouse2045]

Hi there,

I have upgraded from WM5 to WM6 and I am running windows vista with windows mobile device center.

After the upgrade it has recognised my phone as a new device and therefore I cannot resync my contacts etc to it.

Can anyone help me as I have loads of contacts that I really can't afford to lose...

Thanks in advance :)

Im running vista and WMDC as well but whenever i flash even when it detects it as a new device it still syncs my contacts and everything else.

Do you have Outlook installed? Without outlook i believe it won't save any contact or calender info i may be wrong though...

It isn't configured though - can anyone confirm if the above is true and whether it would need to be configured?

Yes. It will resync your Outlook contacts. Just make the new partnership and voila! I have deleted and repartnered my device many many times. Ever so often I backup my Outlook contacts to a CSV or XLS file.

My suggestion to you is open Outlook and export your contacts to a CSV or XLS file.

Then make your partnership!:cool:
