Problem with Vista and WM 6.1 Syncing?

[Hissing Syd]

Is there a deep-seated problem with syncing WM 6.1 with Vista's WMDC?

I have tried just about every WM 6.1 ROM produced by the excellent chefs here. On every occasion, my Hermes syncs perfectly on the first setup. However, every time I reconnect, the sync fails, with a message that there is a problem with the desktop PC. Deleting the partnership solves it for one sync, then it fails on subsequent ones. So, every time, I re-flash back to my trusty WM6 ROM and, voila, syncing returns to normal.

This occurs with every 6.1 ROM I have tried. It happens with my desktop and my laptop, both running Vista. I have checked that I have the latest version of WMDC. I have ensured that I have unticked "Enable advanced network functionality' in the USB-to-PC option.

I need to sync my Hermes every day, so this problem stops me using any of the 6.1 ROMs. Am I the only one with this problem? Has anyone had the problem and solved it?

Yes, both desktop and laptop are using that version of WMDC.

I have that constantly as well with every 6.1 ROM i've used.

My "workaround" is to turn off the calendar sync, allow the other items to sync, then turn calendar sync back on and re-sync

Then that PC will sync properly until I try to sync to another PC and I have to turn off calendar, etc... again

I've using WM 6.1 ROMs with Vista for some time now and have never had that problem. The only difference is that I leave the enable advance network..blah..blah checked. Try it.

Thanks very much for your response. I am heartened to hear that someone else is experiencing the same problem, and it is not just me.

I will try the calendar sync work-around.

Blackout128. Thanks for your reponse as well, but I have tried it with that box ticked and unticked. From Radimus above, it could be a calendar issue. Do you sync with Outlook Calendar?

[blackout128]

Yes, I sync the calendar. I guess it was kind of stupid to suggest something that simple. I hope the calendar issues works, who knows with vista, I may have that problem tomorrow.

My final question, and this is the killer question - Are you using Outlook 2003 or 2007?

I use Outlook 2007, and my suspicion is that there could be a problem syncing with that version. Those who use Outlook 2003 might not experience it.

If you say you use Outlook 2003, great, perhaps I have got to the root of the problem.

If you say you use Outlook 2007, I will pack my bags and go!

I have no problem slashing and syncing using Outlook 2002.

Having read Radimus' workaround, I re-installed a WM 6.1 ROM. Once again, I experienced sync problems. But, as soon as I removed Calendar from the sync items, everything worked well.

Is there anyone out there able to sync calendar items between a WM 6.1 Hermes and an Outlook 2007 PC?

[blackout128]

I am running Outlook 2007. Here is my Outlook Info.

Thank you Blackout128. My version of Outlook is the same as yours. I am stumped.
