ActiveSync and Vista

[backtap]

Hi, can anyone help?

Running Vista from my laptop and want to synch my Vario II with it (currently synched Vario II with XP running desktop). Tried to instal ActiveSync but laptop tells me it's already there but I can't find it in the programmes list and it won't find it on a search.

My laptop does recognise my memory card in the Vario II but won't recognise that it's actually in the Vario II - i'm confused. When I conect the Vario II I'm prompted for a password several times but I can't actually synch.

Vario II is running WM5, have considered WM 6.1 but would I still be able to sync with the XP desk top if I install it.

All a bit confusing and frustrating this, I'm not a techie so basic answers please (if possible!!!)

Thanks

Active Sync is for Xp..

Windows Mobile Device Center is for Vista..

So you need to DL Windows Mobile Device Center

Vista works fine. You can get your phone bricked by not doing it right, it happens in all operating systems.

vista uses wmdc - windows mobile device center & not activesync. so go to the link mentioned on the 2nd post & dload wmdc. should be fine afterwards.

1 thing that bugs me with vista/wmdc is that everytime you sync your device, it changes your device ID to "windowsmobileXX" for my prophet and now to "HTCXX" on my touch pro where XX is a number. So some of my programs that need device ID for registration gets screwed up.

edit: i've never had any luck with flashing on vista for my prophet needed to use vmware running xp. haven't flashed my touch pro yet...
