Hi there, I would like to connect my device that has just been upgraded to NitroGen's WM6 ROM to a notebook running Windows Server 2008 Standard, x64 edition.
Mobile Device Center found the phone device, Windows says it found a 64 bit driver, but could not load it.
Any suggestions?
Just for the records:
Mobile Device Center started to work as soon as I installed the Windows Desktop Experience feature of Windows Server 2008 (x64).

Well atleast I think thats the reason. I have Windows XP and have managed to download Acivesync up to 3.8.
But this doesnt seem to be locating my phone. I think this is because the phones drivers are in a bundle with the activsync 4.0 which is with my CD disk (Which wont install)
Any ideas how I can sort this out. I cant get XP SP2 because my windows is from the back of a truck... Unfortunately.
Ok don´t worry. There´s always an answer 4 everything
As you say, active sync 4.0, which is the lowest activesync´s version that works with windows 2005, only get installed over windows xp if you have sp 2. But you can upgrade your xp system to service pack 2 although your xp is from the back of the truck. Just look for a "back truck" method in google, because you can do it :wink:

Hmmm, Ive looked. Cant find a way.
How does one install SP2 without a genuine windows?
not the place here, but i have got activesync 4 running on my xpsp1 box, i refuse to use SP2, perhapse you can sp1 your install of windows, or find the back of the truck method for that :side:
so will it work with either sp1 or sp2 ?

Hi,
You may try popol's solution & let us know if it works for you too!
I've read of a third party service pack solution also but never tried the links, damn i didn't even tried to take notes so I can't help you out. You may try to google though. :?
Cheers,

ActiveSync 4.1 doesn't require SP2, but it does require at least SP1
Supported Operating Systems: Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4; Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 for Itanium-based Systems; Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition for 64-Bit Itanium-Based Systems; Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition (Itanium); Windows XP Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2; Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
Windows XP2 doesn't require validation either. You can just download it from Microsoft's site and install it. Except if you are using Windows Update. In that case you need to set your Automatic Updates to Automatic. Otherwise you cannot get anything from Windows Update and you can get only Critical Updates. (Which would include SP2)
Good Luck
I have been living with Windows Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 since June. This is an "evoluting version" that is upgraded/improved/corrected from time to time. All in all I should not have done that and stay with XP Pro but I was not sure how to unistall it. However, the Windows Mobile Sync function works well with my HTC prophet (Qtek S200) which is equipped with ROM 2.15.23.27 WME, 3/9/06, Radio version 02.19.21, Protocol version 4.1.13.09, ExtROM version 2.15.13.121. Last week, after a little research, I decide to upgrade with RUU_Prophet_2151327_22113102_022021_Dopod_PDAMobizEdition_v101 though I was not that sure that it was really an upgrade (I was looking for the Push-Email feature). In any event, the upgrade program did not work. I am stuck. It stopped regularly with a code error [202]: Th update utility (V2.5.2) could not connect to the PDA Phone. All comments are welcome
I can only speak for the Blue Angel on this - but I couldn't upgrade it using Vista because Activesync is used for the connection. However, in Vista, Activesync has been replaced and it cannot be installed on Vista. In the end, I got out a spare HDD, dropped it into my pc, installed XP FLP and upgraded using that instead.
RC1 of Vista (Build 5600) is now out to certain testers and I can confirm that Mobile Center is no longer present/doesn't work properly. This is also true of 5536 and 5552. The PDA will show up in Computer and you can browse it - but there was no utility to sync. Activesync can again, not be installed either.
Windows Mobile Device Center
With respect to the Sync function, I recall that the "Windows Mobile Device Center" that has replaced in Windows Vista the ActiveSync 4.1 of the past did not work until I triggered the firewall options. After it worked well though the Notes included in the Contacts (MC Outlook) are not synchronised correctly. Hence, my surprise for the impossibility to upgrade s explained above.

Windows Mobile Device Center is the syncing software for Vista OS, activesync will not work ( WMDC barely works ). It not Microsoft's policy to upgrade their software for older OS'.
Bill did not become a multi-billionaire by making Windows backward compatible.
and also the majority of people on this site left vista to go back to xp ....
I just use virtual machines if I want to do xp or linux on a vista machine or linux and vista on xp or vista and xp on a linux
seems that this is the fact
We all arent updated...
We must to have the updated version of windows XXXXX or the updated for everything but instead say... M$ sucks cant upgrade AS... so... dont use it... its not needed...
