Upgrade woes and Vista x64

[darkan9el]

Hi all, I run Vista x64 Ultimate and connect my devices with Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) I recently dug my O2 Xda Exec out but its stuck at the boot screen, i.e. says serial at the top then v1.00 at the bottom, if I connect the USB cable the word 'Serial' changes to USB

I have unchecked the 'Allow USB Connections' in WMDC and the PC does it's USB Bing Bong sound as you plug in the xda to the USB, unfortunately when using Mtty I get no USB option, consequently I can't input the commands and continue with the install. I have also tried using the Uni_exitbootloader.exe, again this states there is no USB option. I was trying to get either the Ranju v77 rom or the original xda exec rom installed.

I have checked the USB ports using other devices and all function ok, so what's going wrong?

Going to try from another machine today, its running XP pro so I should have more luck!

Problem solved.

Advice: Don't use Vista x64 to update these PDA's

The solution was to go to my XP system and upgrade from there, installed original Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe then once that was ok I tried out Ranju_v77_WM61_19900_19900_1_0_2.exe.

my issue now is wireless encryption, apparently I only have up to WEP and I use WPA, will do a search but if anyone knows how to deal with this can you post.
