Hi

getting to the point of pulling my hair out. I have an Orange M600 running WM5. The only change I have made is to make the GPS icon visible.

I have a new laptop running Vista Home Premium.

I have downloaded the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Centre (WMDC).

When I connect my M600 to my laptop (via USB), the phone screen turns on and the phone starts charging.

But the laptop refuses to recognise that there are any devices attached. No drivers are installed and WMDC does not list any connected devices.

The cable and phone work perfectly with my XP PC but not with the Vista laptop.

This is a little frustrating. Anyone else come across this problem and solved it?

Finally resolved this.

The USB cable that worked on my XP desktop must have had a fault on it, because a different USB cable on the laptop got it all working fine.

Vista Home Premium/ Windows Mobile Device Centre / WM5 all seem to work together.
