hi, trying to synch my wizard to eith er desktop (xp) or laptop(vista). it worked with vista briefly then stopped and has never synched with xp. the phone is charging when plugged in. xp just says windows mobile based device has found errors when installing and wont install, and vista wont recognise it apart from charging. i read that i should change the usb to pc settings in the connections tab, but i have searched the entire phone and that setting is not anywhere. i have performed many soft and hard resets, but to no avail, and also tried 3 diffrent usb cables. also tried syncing with bluetooth, but same response.
can someone please shed some light on this, as its getting very inconvenient to keep having to use the mem card for everything, and i really wanna try a new rom on this blasted thing!
thanks:)

try uninstalling activesync on the pc. it seems that the drivers may have been corrupted. also use a program that does secure deletion like "ccleaner" if I remember the name correctly. that shoud delete all of the files and overwrite the deleted sectors on your hard drive completely; as well as make sure tha there are no registry keys left behind.

then, restart the pc and reinstall activesync. and reset the phone before connecting.

The above is worst case senario. before doing that, try this first:

delete partnership in activesync and reset the phone. restart the computer (shut down, not restart)
then when the comp boots completely and the phone boots completely; try reconnecting again.
I once had that problem with a rom I flashed. someone forgot to put the driver into it :)
