Help please. Windows mobile centre stopped working in windows 7. - General Questions and Answers

I have been using windows mobile centre in windows 7 64 bit for a long time successfully. 2 days back I was astonished to see that WMDC stopped working when I connected my Opal to laptop. I have searched a lot but of no use. I reinstalled WMDC several times but in vain. Further to say that my Opal can connect to my desktop having XP.
Help please to resolve this issue.

Just went throught this with someone else and on your windows 7 computer have you ran any registry cleaners/defrag programs?
The other individual updated his bios and all was well with him.
It's a slow process but we can work on it together and figure it out.

Thanks Just about right.
Yes! I have been using windows vista manager and I think that may be the reason. Actually this was not the only problem I faced. My copy/paste was also not working but that I corrected by registry back up. All my system restore were deleted and I could not do system restore.
Now after several attempts of install and uninstall of WMDC, I see another driver in device manager called pc to mobile usb sync which quite new for me. I didn't see it before. When I connect my ppc, it is detected as usb device.

Vista Manager will do that everytime. It is in the WOW files that makes it lose the setup and connection. If I remember right it removes a .dll that is needed. If you made a backup of your registry then go ahead and reinstall the registry from the backup. I love Vista Manager, but that was truely the only problem with the program that I found. If you don't have a backup, if you remember when you installed vista manager it did a restore point. You could go ahead and do a restore, just make sure you have all your files you need off first, just in case.

TyTN II does not sync anymore.

When I plug my TyTN II to my laptop or pc, The active sync icon starts to lookup, but after 1/2 minits i get screen that it was failed to connect. I have this problem since trying WM5Storage. Does someone know how to fix it?? Cause I want to upgrade to dutty's newest rom.
Ps. It does sync with my exchange server but not local with a pc or laptop.
You should check if WM5 Storage is activate (left soft key in the program screen), if yes you should deactivate before connecting with ActiveSync.
I don't know if you have to restart the device, probably yes...
Ciao.
Ensure that usb advance connection tab is unchecked in connection settings,
also you can sync when using wm5torage so you have to disable probably have to restart both computer and device.
If it doesnt work un-install mobile device centre and re-install again, ensure you back up your pims first.
See if it works.
It seems wm5torage mess something up in your connections
let me know if those works
Dear Sir
This is the fastest rom I have ever had in Kasier, whilst the Xt9 did not work but I have deleted it. I noted no issues from the functions I used to use.
Good work!!

I too am having problems sync'ing my Tilt. When I go to uncheck the "advanced network functionalilty" in USB to PC, I get "Failed to disable RNDIS to use Serial"
Please help!
I found an answer after googling "Failed to disable RNDIS to use Serial", where someone mentions a bluetooth COM entry they found and deleted that solved it.
So, I look, find a COM entry from when I was playing with my (old) bluetooth GPS, deleted it, and now I'm able to uncheck the setting.
Now to see if I can finially sync with my PC...
Nope, can't establish a connection with my PC! I'm running Active Sync 4.5 on XP. I tried on Vista, only to learn that wont frigging work either. Any ideas?!

I am also having trouble with Vista...But I am able to have my Tilt Sync on Windows XP. I think I might have an issue just with Vista but it appears that yours may be phone related. Have you tried a hardreset on your device?

Nope, I realy don't want to do a hard reset, but might friggin have to.
I was hoping to find another soloution.
I will say this, last time I was able to sync anything, it was my 8525 before I flashed a WM6 ROM, but I know it's not a WM6 - XP compatability issue, others here have no problems. I know Vista has issues, so I'm not even worried about that right now. My Tilt still has the factory ROM, and still others have the same setup with no problems. I can't tell you how mad I'll be if I do a hard reset and it still doesn't work!
Would be nice to be able to copy the pim.vol to/from the memory card and have Outlook be able to import the databases from it.
im having same issue with wm6 ever since flash but wing and mda still sync running wm5 think its some sort of hardware issue havent been able to find anything on it though if you figure it out please post..... by the way i tried hard reset didnt work

Unable to sync using USB...
When I sync using Bluetooth, all is fine & dandy. BUT. When I plug my Tytn II (MDA Vario III) into my USB port, it starts installing a new "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" (I run Vista, with Vista SP1, BTW). This fails, with a message "The required registry key is missing"? I have tried removing any trace of Windows Mobile Device Center, reinstalling that, installed the MS driver update, no joy. Obviously,Vista being a Microsoft OS, it doesn't tell me WHAT THAT bloody registry key is/is suposed to be!!! Help?

Synchronization problem after Vista SP1

After I installed Vista SP1 i can't sync my tc with my pc.
My PC does find the phone, but when the phone is starting Activesync i get the message on the phone:
"If you want to sync this phone to pc, you have to install ActiveSync 4.5 or higher".
But i have Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, i guess that's the latest version. Before SP1 it worked fine !
I hope somebody knows a solution for this !
Thx !!
PS already tried the setting USB to PC. When it's checked the phone does nothing. When it's unchecked, the phone tries to sync but gives the message above !
It works now !
Very strange !
But after some reboots, hard resets, un- & reinstalling WMDC, remove phone from device manager and reconnect, ......
Suddenly it worked out !
Why it did now, i really don't have a clue.
So for people with the same problem, just keep on trying all the actions i listed above and cross fingers
goodnight
Problem returns

Anybody having a solution?
I have tried to update windows Mobile manager without result.

Now i have the same problem even without VISTA SP1.

Really getting sick of this ...
Please help,
Thanx already !

WMDC is nothing but headaches. I've had tons of issues with both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The endless synching issues is annoying, and I hate that it deletes all my mobile IE Favorites that are nested in folders. I really wish you could use ActiveSync with Vista
IMO -- WMDC is a promotional tool for the iPhone...
Hello,
Try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950506/en-us/
By the way, I got the same problem after installing Windows XP SP3 !
The reason is that both WMDC and ActiveSync are not supposed to be compatible with new SPs.
"Note: Microsoft ActiveSync works only with Windows XP SP2 or earlier" (same for WMDC for Vista)
can be found at Microsoft web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...roductID=7C1FA894-B2C5-41BE-8D97-E145DD2A883B
I had to install SP3 in my company computer. That's what I got:
1) ActiveSync 4.5 behaves quite stupid with WP-SP3 (it opens Network drives at each sync/desync).
2) After multiple reinstallations it has allowed me to connect Polaris, but as "Guest" only -- with nothing installed.
3) The only solution to me was hard reset and consequent reinstallation of all I had in Polaris ...
syncing woes
I am having the same issues with syncing as well. tried all of the steps that everyone has listed & called HTC for help. was able to fix it once, but not the next time it happened. I don't think that the problem (at least for me) is with Vista-- I have an old laptop that runs XP and the same thing happens with that computer as well. the company I bought my phone from suggests that I send it back for repair-- aparently this is covered under the warranty and maybe an issue with the phone itself??. If I ever get this sorted out I will post back.
otherwise the phone works great. maybe I should have held out for that 3g iphone.
After uninstallation of Vista SP1 the synchronization was working fine again for me.
Then few days ago I tried to reinstall SP1 and did uninstall and reinstall WMDC as indicated by Microsoft. WMDC was working for 1 day with correct detection and synchronisation of my Cruise but now it's again not working.
I have again tried several times to uninstall and reinstall WMDC with the same result: no detection...
I have tried to make a filter in Bit Defender to force authorization of WMDC.. no result.
I have spent hours not being able to solve the problem.
I am really fedup.
I had much less issues with Palm OS...
I would like to avoid to uninstall again SP1.
Any idea?
I also had this problem, but now it is fixed
What I did was to go in the "USB to PC" menu on the phone and disable advanced network functions.
Hope this can help you as well
...if only that was a permanent fix It'll make things work for a while, and then one day things just break again. WMDC is a iPhone sales tool

I have also tried to disable advanced network functions... no result
I have tried soft resets, uninstallation, reinstallationl... no result
I have tried to stop the partnership and to re-create it (major mistake: it took me few hours to resynchronize all my contacts, notes and calendar events...)... no result
Sometimes it works for 1 day and after the issue comes back again.
According to forums I am not at all the only one facing this.
Only solution is to uninstall Vista SP1. Then it works fine again.
Microsoft is making products that are not compatible while done by the same company...
Can you tell me if it happened after you put sp1 onto vista? I'm thinking about upgrading but may not do if its going to cause problems - my phone syncing to my pc is pretty important to me!
Many users have reported the same issue relating to SP1. Personally, I had sync issues before and after SP1. Can be very frustrating. I'm just glad that for the most part, I sync with Exchange.

I sent my phone in to HTC for repair 5 weeks ago. still waiting.....
In my case, I confirm I have the problem only if I install Vista SP1... When I remove SP1 I have the synchronisation is working perfectly. With SP1 it's sometimes working but most of the time not.
Vista SP1 is clearly causing the problem in my case and I was not able to find any solution, except removing SP1 (see above description of all my trials).
Vista SP1 and same problem
I checked Microsoft's "solutions" - it didn't work... of course
few days ago I could connect my XDA Orbit 2 after computer reboot or via bluetooth anytime
now non of this works, but my totalcmd still see my mobile (plugin for WinCE availeble on ghisler.com)
any ideas?

WMDC keeps returning an error
I installed W7 last night, and WMDC is really the only thing that I haven't got working yet. Each time I plug in my Tilt, I get the spinning circle, and then a message the WMDC has stopped working. I've rebooted twice. I'm going to do some more checking after work, but I was dissappointed when it didn't work. Beta is beta, I guess. I sent the reports.
maybe it depends on the built
i'm using 7000 and it works great.

Turn your computer on with your device already connected. When I didn't do that, sometimes my computer gave that message you mentioned or my laptop froze all together.
Uninsatalled WMDC, and then reinstalled
Now it's good to go. I hope WMDC is more reliable under 7 than it was under Vista. It only recognized my phone about half of the time.
Just remove WMDC6.1 and reinstall it.
Windows 7 is MUCH better than Vista. there isn't even a basis for comparison.
i thought that 7 was using device stage to handle all of the stuff for peripheral syncing?? or is WMDC still going to be the only way?
Windows update
Manually run Windows Update when the phone is connected via a USB Cable.
Might work, it did for me under Vista, the only thing that got WMDC 6.1 working properly, even over BT.

Hi I am setting up Windows 7, can someone please confirm that you still need WMDC 6.1 and not the 'add device / printer'?
Many thanks, Windows 7 is rocking at the moment!

It's worked for me with a Wizard + Elf(in) (Touch and O2XDA Mini S)
I have a G1 now and it's only ever worked on an older build of 7. Microsoft must hate it being linux and all
I can get it to work with my Diamond without any problems at all.
But, it will not connect to my Sammy i200, I have narrowed it down to not showing as a WM device in Device Manager as far, all deleting Temp files, checking Outlook etc. still trying...
I had to un-install and re-instal WMDC (I downloaded again from MS).
I also had problems running RUU on W7 but updating the driver (to the older one!) fixed that.
W7 does seem better than Vista in just about every way - and it's a Beta!
Love it
Its now driving me mad. Why after all these years is WMDC such a pile of crap?
It won't recognise either i200 or the Diamond now. Drivers seem OK, but I get 'Error'. Unistalled again, installed again, now it hangs on 'Please wait while WMDC starts'.
Plug devices in my PC with Vista, both phones start straight away!
On windows 7, when I plug in My mobiler fires up no probs, Tomtom Homes fires up, recognises and updates no probs. Try to sync with microsoft useless!
Edit:OMG, how simple was that!
Unticked 'Enable advanced Network' in Connections USB to PC, and voila job done, sync both phones no problem at all!
happy chappy.....

ActiveSync/WMDC, Xperia X1, Windows 7 Ultimate -> No connection.

Hello people.
I recently reinstalled my Win7 and I wanted to connect it with my X1, but when I plugged the phone in for the first time, Windows started downloading some weird drivers (RNDIS?) instead just opening the device control panel thing. Now I'm pretty much stuck and can't connect my phone to my PC (I get the connection error sound every time), except for the disk mode.
I've serched for some answers here on xda as well as on the internet and all the fixes I found either don't work, are already applied or open up new problems for me.
Here's what I've tried already:
Rebooting PC countless times
Turning off the advanced network settings in usb to pc menu on X1,
Reinstalling WMDC countless times
Downloading some weird WMDC updates from microsoft download center
Configuring the registry (Enum key) - getting access denied error to everything I'm trying to do there
Opening the device manager in Windows - It's just blank.
About the software and ROM status, my X1 was just HR'd and I've installed just some basic stuff like the performance pack (Advanced Config + SKTools), MortScript and S2P.
I know that the problem here is rather related to PC, but I hope you guys still can help me, as I'm running out of ideas (and sanity).
Sorry for my english (not my native language), and please do help me if you can.
Same problem here.
So far I've been able to troubleshoot it a little.
First off RNDIS is the regular WinMo driver. So nothing weird there.
Secondly WMDC does work when you run the app as an administrator (on my end anyways). That is in no way a solution though... just a workaround.
I now need to pinpoint the part that needs the actual admin rights.
I'm going to keep on trying to find the answer and I hope more people will help.
Thanks for replying for my post.
Launching WMDC isn't the problem for me though. It starts up fine, it just doesn't connect with the phone.
Keeping fingers crossed for a solution, and thanks again.
I managed to get it started too now.
Again, as an administrator it runs all fine and dandy, but no sigar as a user.
So after I get it started no connection whatsoever. Still looking...
Got it!
Installed the drivers through SCCM at system deployment. Then WMDC installs perfectly.
It still wouldn't run though. And this was because of a policy which was enabled: WPD Device: deny read/write access
Enabling write access solved my problem.
hi henk!
I had the same problem.
I changed the policy, then win7 installed drivers for the xperia, it recognizes the phone, I'm able to navigate into the memory card...
But the wmdc don't see my xperia is connected, and if I try to transfer some music from win7 to my xperia, it's very slow(1b/s)!
Have you got any idea?
Had you the same slow speed?

[Q] My WP7 (HD7) driver can't be installed to PC

Hello...
I have HD7.. when I plug it into my PC (Vista OS), it will install driver for the first time.. but the process always failed
It says :
"Windows found your driver software for your device encountered an error while attempting to install it.
The resource loader cache doesn't have loaded MUI entry.
If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
I've already install Zune also.. but in the end, my HD7 can't connect to Zune
Is there any solution ?
Thanks before..
Its Vista, it fails.
Downgrade to XP lol
Try a disk cleanup, if that fails, turn off UAC, restart your computer and try again.

It's better to downgrade to XP, or upgrade to Windows7?
Sorry for the stupidly long reply, if your computer can handle it, upgrade to Win7 (but will cost)
A downgrade to XP is free, just use your Vista key to install XP, then when it comes to activation, call the number.
HD7 doesn't sync to zune
hey guys, I have the same problem. My HD7 cannot be recognized by zune. Always when I plug in my HD7. Its requesting for driver, but cannot find any. Any suggestions how to solve this problem?
I've already tried another USB port, another PC, reinstal OS (Vista with all updates till now), reinstal WP7 on my phone (NoDo, no Mango yet).
I think, problem could be, that once I've tried to use my phone as a wifi router (via DFRouter app.). I changed some setings in app but it didn't work so I uninstaled it. BUT I did not change the settings back. Could be this the problem??? If yes, how to solve it?
@Erdo9: DFRouter, and similar apps that modify the USB behavior, will make it impossible to connect to the phone using Zune. Why you would think it's a good idea to change the USB mode and then uninstall the software without changing back, I really can't imagine. However, fortunately for you there are others who did the same thing. Search around for "DFRouter Fix" or similar. You may need to buy some hardware and/or set up a "gold card" to modify the USB mode.
Try installing Windows Mobile Device Centre.
Google it up, download it from Microsoft's website. It should do the trick.
ok... first.. reinstall zune...
2nd: vista? 32 or 64?
which NATIVE language?
which UI language are you using? You installed multilanguage packs?
you disabled (i think completely) UAC, try also disabling also DEP (blind suggestion)
If disabling UAC, much less DEP, is required, you have a much, much worse problem. Pretty much all Microsoft software from the last decade has been DEP-compatible. If you need to disable DEP to install something that many other people are running just fine, that means you aren't running the official Microsoft code. That usually means malware.
Just saying... I really don't know what the problem is. Windows won't actually automatically install the phone drivers unless you have an up-to-date Zune install, but if you do, it should "just work" in a few seconds.
GoodDayToDie: Thank you so much. Now its working properly
Look in event viewer for any clues.
