Windows Mobile Device Center in Vista Ultimate 64-Bit

[Guest Frederick]

I have a Dell Axim X50v with Windos Mobile 5, which I was hoping to have

connect and syncronize with my new Win Vista desktop. All the literature says

that I don't install ActiveSync on my desktop, but that Windos Mobile Desktop

Center should do all the connecting (magically). Unfortunately all I get is a

simple "Error" message in the Windows Mobile panel (and that is all it does

say "Error"!). Meanwhile my Dell Axim indicates Connected. Needless to say

they are not on speaking terms and nothing is being syncronized.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks, Fred.

Hi Fred,

 

I don't have any suggestions at this time, and I'm leaving town for a few

days so I won't be around to help you with settings till Friday next week.

My reason for answering is to let you know that I have an Axim 51v connected

to Vista Ultimate 64 and it works fine, so hang in there it can be made to

work.

 

I think I found some solutions on either http://www.aximusers.com or

http://www.aximsite.com.

 

If you haven't got it working by next Friday, give me a shout and I can

check some my settings etc for you.

What are you using for Firewall? I have a different device Windows based

device (ATT Tilt running Windows Mobile 6), but I had to manually configure

my Firewall to get it to connect as the Policy was not built in for Mobile

Device Center.

 

BTW...I am running Vista Ultimate 64 Bit on my laptop....once I got my

Firewall (Windows Live One Care) to cooperate everything syncs beautifully.

Yoyt are the first person that I have run across that has been able to get

WMDC to connect correctly with 64bit Vista. What version of WMDC are you

using 6.0 or 6.1?

Re: Windows Mobile Device Center in Vista Ultimate 64-Bit

 

Tom,

 

I am using WMDC ver 6.1.6965

 

I did have some problems with it and a few other things when I first

installed Vista64 Back in February last year, after messing around for quite

a while I finally made an Acronis full backup image, (just to protect

myself) then copied the Vista 64 (OEM) CD onto my hard drive (Didn't work

from CD (of DVD what ever it was) then ran setup and told it to upgrade, it

did and 5 of the 6 problems I was having went away, including the problems

with WMDC. Hopefully you wont have to do this but that's what I did. The

only problem the upgrade caused was my Visual Studio 2005, had to be

reloaded.

Re: Windows Mobile Device Center in Vista Ultimate 64-Bit

 

I may have to try that, because nothing else seems to work. I have a Treo

750 with Windows Mobile 6. I have found one or two people that can sych with

WMDC 6.0 but no one with 6.1. And even with 6.0 they were only able to synch

with bluetooth. No one was able to get the usb driver to work. I saw a

posting on how to roll back WMDC 6.1 to 6.0, but it involved about 30 steps

that included deleting some system registry lines. Apparently uninstalling

6.1 does not work. It leaves a lot of things in the registry and on your

hard drive that will keep 6.0 from installing correctly.

 

I will try your way and see if it will work. I hate spending a lot of time

trying to make an operating system work, especially one that I don't really

like anyway, but I HAVE to be able to synch my phone. I have been using

Vista for about a year now and I REALLY miss the ease and simplicity of XP.

Plus it works!
