Hey peeps
When I install my Active Sync it all of a sudden gives me an error saying 'J-Drive is an invalid drive. Please select another drive'. I have nothing on my J-Drive. Actually, I don't even HAVE a J-Drive so I don't know why the installatio wizard is going there in the first case.
I have had this phone for 2 years. I have installed this program before with no problem but now this new computer does this.
Any recommendations?
What is the OS you are using? If it is anything later than XP, then you need WMDC and not Active sync.

I am not sure, but it looks like you installed it first time from a pen drive or something, now you are reinstalling it?
If that is the case, uninstall it from Add/Remove programs, use a registry cleaner to clean up the mess and then try installing it again.
Best of luck

Dear All
I have a very strange problem here...i was using the Jwright WM6 rom till this morning with no sccuess in getting it to connect to my Vista laptop by all means...the only thing i could do is to connect to my desktop pc which has Windows XP & it connects succefully...so i thaught it's something related to the crossbow not being compatible with vista WMDC
Till this morning a friend came to me with his Universal running Jwright 1.90.96 WM5 to install a program so i connected to the Vista WMDC & it worked like a charm...so i downgraded mine to the same WM5 version he is running & i was shocked when it didn't connect & kept trying to connect till it gave me red error sign with no explanation
I used the same USB port, the same original cable on the same laptop under the same windows user...
Any explanation for that????!!!
I really need to sync with my vista laptop as it's my main PC at both work & home...
Thanks All
Have you updated WMDC from beta3, coz that has sorted alot of problems.If yes, try creating another user account, or try logging in as an admin, and connect wm device from there.
otherwise, REINSTALL VISTA, sorry to tell you that, but this is the easiest and the quickest way some times. and i mean it...
What kind of built of Vista are you running?

i have updated to the latest WMDC version available on the microsoft site after removing the one that originally came with the windows as instructed by microsoft...i also tried creating another admin account & still no success !!!
this morning i tried to remove & reinstall the WMDC but still nothing changed..i hope that i won't be forced to reinstall Vista again as this is a very painful option to me after the mass amount of programs i have installed!!!

i'm using windows vista ultimate 6.6.6000 build 6000
Like the topic says my phone will not sync with my computer after I flashed wm6. I am using active sync 4.5, and I am running windows XP. My computer is 4 years old, is it because I am not running Microsoft office 07? Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advanced, and sorry if this is a dumb question.

Happened to me before. Follow these steps.
1. Remove active sync form your computer. Make sure the directory is deleted from its install point.
2. Reboot the sucker
3. Reinstall active sync
4. Restart your device (phone)
5. Connect sync cable
6. Put phone in bootloader mode and reflash
Hope this helps. Post your results.
Easier solution:
-try disabling enhanced communication in settings/ connections/usb connections

I have tried to install a few programms but i always get the error message that active sync is missing. Unfortunately there is no active sync available for Vista.
Is there a solution for that?

for Vista you need Microsofts Mobile Device Center
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
^^ He's right and by default (On most Vista Machines) it should be already installed. So just try to plug in your phone and it should detect and install automatically.
Thats right starmena, but with the standard software that comes with Vista, you just can access your files on the Phone and the storage card. You are not able to install apps and sync your contacts, emails, and stuff.
btw. cant help you with the mac stuff sorry
you can try this for mac

or this
http://www.markspace.com/products/windowsmobile/mac/windows-mobile-sync-software.html
but as always we don't recommend macs on a windows forum
Thanks guys for the reply.
i agreed with some of the reply, the one that is pre-installed on the vista, cant use it to upgrade rom and other. is there any solution to it?

Good luck,
i just buy wp7 yesterday, i was no idea how to sync it to the pc.
i heard that you need zune to sync with it like itunes. i'm installed it once, but it cannot update and say 'connection error, restart software'.
so i reinstalled again, but stuck at 100%.
a lot in the internet say that their os was XP of vista, and no windows 7 (and i'm using w7).
please, share with me how things are working here. thanks
i was able to sync and I have windows 7.
-make sure ZUNE is up to date
-you may get better results using the USB cable that came with the phone
-if you have more than one, try them all.
-you may get better results using the USB ports on the back of the PC

Have ya configured your phone already, a Live account and all that jazz ?
I have Windows 7, so that is not your problem... make sure your Zune is workling properly and if needed download a new version and reinstall it. Syncing Zune and WP7 is a pretty straight forward thing.
i'm already did that, it's just now i am trying to "reinstall" zune because it cannot update my windows phone 7 (version with no copy-cut-paste)
my zune installer is "downloading update at 100%" and stuck, no solution on the internet. some say to go back to xp (LOL)
for sync-ing my wp is no problem because it is straight forward

Like I said, I have Windows 7 x64 and the system runs great and no problems with Zune.
In you Windows try and create a new use with admin rights and try and install Zune in that user area, or use System Restore to roll back to a few days back... telling you to format and reinstall Windows 7 should be a last resort.
What "update" are you trying to install?

that's what i was worried about, it should be no problem, but why there's problem?

nothing, i'm trying to install, but the installer say updating, maybe i got old version package.
new problem here: i'm already download new package for installation, and i stuck at this point "preparing you computer, installing the zune sofware", so i think i have to contact zune for this problem
update: i just got the solution form help forum, apparently he say "just hit spacebar", and it work, feel like slap the software to wake up.
but now the software doesn't installed properly, no shortcut in the desktop

How long have you had that current installation of you Windows 7 ?
It might be a problem with your OS and not Zune... like I said, create a new user with admin right and install from there, Restore System to an older date.
If all fails, might be time for a fresh Windows 7 install.

Accessories, System Tools and you should have System Restore there. Try and restore to an older point in time, see if that helps.
When all else fails... format c:
system restore didn't have any effect at all. format is the only option left, i give up on this software.
i just don't want to waste anymore time, i'll use wp7 connector for mac instead.
thank you very much for everyone here for spending time to answer me. operator may closed this post in peace.
