Can't connect to Windows Mobile Device Center

I can't for the life of me get my touch dual to connect to the Windows Mobile Device Center on my vista machine. I've tried everything -
1. uninstalling and reinstalling USB drivers
2. uninstalling and reinstalling WMDC
3. hard resetting my device
NOTHING works!
When I connect, all I get is "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it ...."
Does anyone know how to fix this? I've called Dell, HTC, Msft. No one knows. I am totally frustrated b/c I can't flash my device with a new ROM or even just move files to my device.
HELP!

Did you install SP1 on your vista machine ?
My phone was syncning perfectly up until i intalled SP1 2 days ago.
I also tired the 3 things you did. Fortunately after the hard reset i discovered that the phone WILL syn using the BT connection, just not via usb

try this. Open task manager on your PC (ctrl+alt+del) and kill wmplayer.exe (windows media player process) reconnect your device. See if this helps.

Hmmm ... wmplayer.exe isn't running.
@rostol - no, i'm don't have SP1. it just says Windows Vista Home Premium.
I'll try to connect via bluetooth to see what happens. if you guys have any other ideas, I'm totally open.
Update: I can connect via bluetooth now, but still not USB. Grrrrr ....

I had a similar problem. I have ESET Smart Security and Vista SP1 installed and found that, with ESET's firewall actively filtering, I am unable to sync. I set ESET to not filter while the phone is plugged up and all is well.

1. Keep the WM device connected.
2. Go to Start > Start Search.
3. Enter Device Manager or devmgmt.msc to launch the Device Manager window.
4. Look under the Network adapters node for Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter. If this is not present, skip to step 5. Otherwise, right-click Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter and choose to Uninstall.
5. Look under the Mobile Devices node for Microsoft USB Sync. If this is not present, skip to step 6. Otherwise, right-click Microsoft USB Sync and choose to Uninstall.
6. Disconnect and reconnect the WM device. The device driver for the PPC Phone will re-install and Windows Mobile Device Center will launch.

Did you try this?
Go to Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC > Uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality"

Broken Screen, Get Contacts & Calendar

Hi all,
I have a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with.
My t-mobile wing's screen has gone bust, and I am trying to get my contacts and calendar from it. I can not use active sync in XP, but I can get it connected to a laptop running Vista. I was able to copy the PIM.VOL out of it.
Is there a program that can extract the info from this file?
I have heard of ppcbackup.exe but when I try to install that on my pc, i get an error message saying this is not a win32 application. Your help is greatly appreciated!

In your case, I would use SOTI POCKET CONTROLLER since your device still starts up. Itbrings your device's screen to your desktop.
SOTI POCKET CONTROLLER is commercial but you can use their TRIAL VERSION for this particular circumstances.
You can connect via USB (ActiveSync, WMDC), Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

awesome, thanks!

ActiveSync

Hi!
I have a problem with my LG KS20 and Activesync on Win XP. When I plug the device, pops up a hardware wizard installer (I don't have any drivers), so when I cancel this there pops up a notification that can be problems with this hardware. How to connect with ActiveSync?

English only. Please translate and change your post.

ok this will happen the first time you try to sync on your computer. Dont cancel it, let it install properly.
I asume your service packs are upto date on your computer (must have at least sp1 i think but you should update to sp3 if you ask me) and ensure you have latest version of active sync (4.5xxxx).
If you have all this it should work
