Hi All,
I have installed Vista business, then I installed SP1, and that is where my problems started.
The driver cache became corrupted, I've managed to sort that out however in the meantime I can't get my O2XDA (aka htc universal) connected.
The behaviour is thus.
Plug in PDA, new hardware found, and Vista installs the pocket pc usb adaptor, (well, I think it dose.. but do not see it in USB devices..) then vista tries to install the MS remote mobile adaptor, it finds a driver, but then barfs that the required registry key dose not exists.
I do have WMDC installed etc, and the update.
I have googled etc, but can't seem to find anything with similar symptoms, and MS are not being that helpfull, asking me to just disable everything and try again, new profiles etc etc..
I can see where this is going, but I really don't want to re-install Vista just for the sake of one thing not working (I've fixed everything else that SP1 screwed up...)
Many Thanks

Hi
Please forgive an OT posting from a newbie on this forum, but I have tried elsewhere with no results.
I have inherited an old iPAQ 3630 that I want to get going but am well stuck with the following problem.
New installation of XP Pro + SP2 from original media on modern P4 with motherboard BIOS at latest rev. All ports work OK with other devices.
Firewall OFF.
New installation of Outlook 2003.
No other software installed (e.g. AV).
Soft reset iPAQ.
Install ActiveSync 3.8 as Local Administrator.
At the Get Connected screen insert iPAQ into USB cradle, turn on and plug into USB port on the back of the computer.
Plug and Play does its thing and iPAQ appears correctly in Device Manager.
iPAQ briefly displays Connecting to Host.
On the host Get Connected screen disappears and ActiveSync icon appears in System Tray.
Open ActiveSync on host and the green thing rotates; ActiveSync says Connecting - forever.
The ActiveSync never connects to the iPAQ. Never get to set up a Partnership.
Tried two other computers, Windows 2000, Outlook 2000, ActiveSync 4.0, Serial Connection. Same problem.
Tried hard reset of the iPAQ.
I have never seen this iPAQ connected. I was assured it worked. It has had an upgrade to PPC 2002 at some time in its life.
I have tried a couple of other forums but just get responses stating the obvious. So I thought I'd try the real experts.
Any ideas please guys?

I have the latest Windows Vista Mobile Device Center installed (the new actviesync replacment) It was working great with my new Treo 750 for a few days. For some reason I can no longer establish a USB connection. Instead of the normal postive sounds (boo beep) you hear three (boo boo boo) when you plug it in. Also, why do you have to push the button on the USB cable before it does anything? My previous non Palm Windows Mobile devices didnt have that.
boo = low tone
beep = high tone
So again, no more boo beep, only a very quick boo-boo-boo. I still get the BEE boo when I unplug it or the phone shuts back off though. Shoot what heck is wrong? My ipaq 6900 had no issues on the same computer for many months.
I tried reinstalling Mobile Device Center
I tried a new USB port
I tried softresetting the Treo
What else should I check out before I try a hard reset?
Does anyone else have connection issues?
The connection issue sucks, because now I cant use PDANet for my USB internet connection as well.
Any advice?
I uninstalled PDANet from both windows vista and the treo
I uninstalled windows mobile device center (and the driver update) via control panel, pograms, remove
I rebooted windows vista (32 bit by the way)
I reinstalled windows mobile device center
I plugged in my treo 750, hit the button on the cord, boo BEEP
"USB Device Not Recognized One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
Ok, so my next task will be to test this on another Vista machine to rule out if it's the phone or windows that has the problem. :-/
I've got same problem, but I never sync treo with pc completly error is (Server is bussy) code 0x80072EFF
pc see my treo but don't sync contacts anything.
I was reinstall wmdc and make hard reset on treo ... it's terrible .. maybee wm6 will help.
media sync problems
I have no problems with WMDC using USB and Bluetooth. Sometimes I get an error but I just hit Sync and it syncs up.
I'm having problems when syncing media. The Treo disconnects after a few songs are synced so I have to remove the cable then plug it in again many times before a sync is complete.
Have you tried checking if WMDC is allowed through Windows Firewall?
S4czech,
Can you give a try for the tip described below :

Thanks for your reply.
Hi,
I've got same problem till now, until I tried new WMDC 6.1 (in czech as well)

It was solved my problem with sync with error "Server is busy".

Hi all
i have a problem.
its not related to only one pc but all windows xp machines ive used ( im not going down vista route at all).
nearly everytime i connect my phone/ppc to windows, it crashes, ie, i get the windows 32 process host or something has an error then the RAPC window with 1 minute countdown comes on and my computer crashes or restarts.
then if i connect my ppc, its fine.
its not only with 1 pocket pc, its with the 2-3 ive tried.
they all run windows mobile 6 or 6.1...
anybody have the same problem and know what to do? activesync 4.5, u can see the icon connecting and it has made the noise its found the pocket pc, then bam...
i couldnt find this topic anywhere in xda, dont know where else to look
Cheers
It is not the PPC's at all - rather incompatible hardware on your desktop, such as an installed dial-up modem or other network device.
I had similar difficulties back in time on a Dell desktop until I removed a special DS Sound Card. A friend of mine had similar problems until he removed - following my recommendation - his dial-up modem card.
You will have to figure out what device on your desktop causes this incompatibility - please: before plugging out anything, remove the installed drivers first!
oh man. they are both laptops. thats going to be tough to remove something/uninstall drivers - doable but its going to annoy me everytime i log in
Hmmm,
try running your pc in save mode and run only what is needed for ActiveSync to work - not a nice solution but at least you can determine if this is an incompatibility issue or not.
I have a windows vista 64 bit. and I've installed WMDC and my computer just won't recognize the device. It sure see's it, but it says that its an "unknown device" and then nothing happens. Any solutions?
is there a chance that your x64 Vista doesn't have all drivers? try using windows update.
if this didn't work, i'd back everything up on my device, go to Start/Control Panel/Device Manager and delete whatever it identified. restart your PC and hard-reset your fuze and try again.
oh and by the way, If i were you, i'd use Windows 7 Build 7077 instead of Vista x64

I tried everything listed above, still nothing, I can't believe two Windows based operating systems can't just hook up without problems. Why is this happening?
I have the same problem with my diamond. Just not possible to sync, so I have to use bluetooth.
It sucks though, I didn't get Bluetooth for this computer thinking I wouldn't need it. So I avoided the extra charge, but now it's coming back to bite me. But technically I still shouldn't need it if this thing would work.
Is there some sort of bluetooth adapter I can get so I can actually use bluetooth with my laptop? Or does it have to be built in?
If a ROM is replcaed and an OS is replaced, and it stil doesn't work, I would only guess it's a hardware problem.. which seems kinda odd.
I had this problem too. I found out that it was actually the USB Cable that was faulty. If you have another device with mini USB that you can try and see if the same result happens with the same USB cable.
The USB change actually worked, but it didn't sync, it opened as a mass storage device, and the WMDC didn't see it...
Hi
My diamond 2 completely refuses to be recognised by windows 7 64 bit despite the fact that the first time it was connected it WORKED fine. Here are some notes about what ive tried:
I have tried reinstalling WMDC
Changed the settings in USB to PC on the phone (disable advanced USB connections)
I have tried different cables (the device charges but will not connect).
The device connects with NO problems to my windows XP machine at work!
When i install drvupdate-amd64.exe it looks for an 'unknown device' but cannot find it and says the device is unplugged.
Ive tried turning the phone off and on whilst plugged into the USB
**edit** i have also tried different USB ports on the PC!
Can someone help as i want to update to hard spl but i need the sync connection and i have tried everything i can find in various forums!
Thanks in advance!
I have the same problem, did you or any one else have the solution to these problem? Thanks in advance.
if you have asus p7p55d motherboard you should know that there is a fault of the BIOS. When I enable the option "Intel C-State Tech", the driver for my mobile phone can be installed. So actually it is a problem with USB on that board, if the option is disabled. I hope this problem will be solved with a BIOS update soon. Until then I can live with that option enabled.
Well, after a lot time waste, I have a W7 64 bits but Office 2010 32 bits and everything works like a charm. I can sync without any problem with my HD2 (Leo).
to those who have the same problem, just check it and let us know.
You should install ActiveSync at first,if your diamond2 still can't synch with you PC.you can updated your device drivers in device management.
