Hello!
I have a HTC Universal (hard reseted) and a laptop with a fresh installation of windows vista rc2 (5744).
I can't make vista install the appropriate drivers to be able to connect to HTC.
I can open WMDC but it keeps saying "not connected". When I connect my HTC to laptop, via USB, nothing happens. Seams that vista doesnt recognize my PPC. Onether thing, perhaps without importance, I tried to connect a flash disk Pen and nothing happened either! It seams that Plug and Play device discovery is not functioning on vista. Is it normal?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot!

Plug and play issue on vista?
Hi!
I'm having problems with instalation of HTC and Vista Windows Mobile Device Manager!
The device is not recognized by Vista, I mean, I connect the USB cable to laptop and nothing happens! But I can open WMDC but always says "not connected".
The wierdest thing is that I've connected 3 Pen Drives and nothing happened too!
Is this a general issue problem with Plug and Play discovering devices or is this nonsense and not related?
Please help! I'm getting desperate!

USB Issue
If you can't access a pen-drive then you probably have a driver issue with regards to your USB ports and will be unable to access your Windows Mobile device via USB. If you have bluetooth you might want to try connecting via that. The general Beta release only has basic support for WM devices (There will either be a seperate download or it might make the gold code) if you are part of the vista beta you can download the enhanced support (duplicates ActiveSync functionality) from the connect site.

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"

I've tried everything on Win 7 machine, and it won't work. Phone is HTC TyTn Hermes 200. Don't know, what to do anymore...
when i plug usb port to a laptop and nothing happen. wm wont connect to my laptop. im using vista. yes, i already installed Windows Mobile Device Center. also i turn off UAC. of course, still no connect. my phone is htc tilt aka kaiser. thanks.
I searched forum, but can't find solution.
I connected my phone to three different PCs through a USB cable that comes with the phone (a HTC tag on the cable). The phone was charging when in connection, but none of them can recognized the phone.
All PCs have Windows 7 Ultimate x86, all Windows updates and Windows Mobile Center 6.1 installed. I had administrator privilege and I had Windows firewall and other software firewall (kaspersky Internet Security 2011) turned off when I connected the phone to PCs.
I also tried another method on one of the PCs (a Dell laptop): I connected the phone to the PC without Windows Mobile Center, then I installed Windows Mobile Center, during installation, PC was trying to installing a proper driver and searching it on Windows Update, and finally it showed a Window says "
device software driver was not successfully installed
unidentified device Xdevice unplugged

There is no unidentified device in Device Manager, as if the phone did not physically connect to the PCs.
I also tried "untick use faster data connection" option, still no go.
I have a Windows 7 computer with latest ZUNE installed and WM7 mozart
After I connect WM7 to my computer. My computer did not recognized anything.
Feel like nothing plug-in but my WM7 is charging the battery.
I tried it on my friend's XP computer with the same cable plug-in.
It will ask the XP computer to install driver.
I double clicked with my Windows 7 computer. There is not driver missing.
Do anyone here experienced this b4? if not could you please give me some hints to check my computer?
Thank you!
Problem resolved, by restart "Zune Windows Mobile Connectivity Service"
