XDA and Vista - General Topics

Hi there.
I have a wallaby and just got meself with a new laptop that has windows vista running on it. Microsoft Activesync is not compatible with vista. How do you think i can sync my contacts on to my new laptop.
Thanks in anticipation of a reply

Activesync has been replaced with something called the Windows Mobile Device Center. You can download the latest version of it from the microsoft website .

Wallaby has Pocket PC 2002 OS which is not supported by Windows Mobile Device Center. I think you can try some third-party application and drivers if there is one.

I've got the same problem. It'll let me sync media but not Outlook or IE stuff.
An update from the Mobile and Embedded Devices Team: The Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) Application is an independent application apart from Windows Vista. Windows Vista RC1 includes the WMDC driver which enables you to sync music, acquire pictures and browse the contents of your device. The full WMDC application enables you to synchronize email, contacts, calendar appointments and more. The RC version of WMDC for Vista RC1 will ship very soon, while at this time WMDC is only available for Vista Beta 2.

calendar sync

Hi having some problems with my xda orbit 2 and my new laptop.
i've just purchased a new laptop with windows vista and i'm trying to sync my xda (running windows mobile 6) with it.
using windows mobile device centre i am able to explore the xda but i cannot get the calendar on the phone to sync with office outlook 2003 which i've installed on the new laptop. it will not sync in either direction and is driving me nuts.
i've switched off the firewall, uninstalled and reinstalled WMDC, soft reset the phone, deleted and recreated the device partnership and generally pulled my hair out.
any advice on how i can get this sync to work will be very gratefully received!!
many thanks,
jeff
p.s. is there anyway to sync a windows mobile calendar and a windows live calendar?
U must make Windows update in Vista with connected phone and select from recommended updates Update for HTC device for WMDC... I have problems too and this helps me...
thanks for the reply, i have tried what you've suggested but windows doesn't find any updates related to the mobile device. seems i'll have to keep trying
cheers,
jeff

Sync Win7_64bit+Office2010_64bit no WMDC??

Is there a way to sync Outlook 2010 64bit with Windows Mobile phone not using the Windows Mobile Device Center?
Since the Windows Mobile Device Center won't work with 64bit office anyway, i'm looking for alternatives
