So I have Vista RTM and Office 2007 RTM installed and now I want to sync my
Windows Mobile 5 phone with Outlook. I don't see a way to do that in the
Sync Center. I used to be able to do it in RC versions of Vista. What am I
missing?

Thanks

Windows Mobile Device Center.

When its out of beta it'll be automatically installed from Windows Update.

Ok. I started using this and I'm getting sync errors. The message is, "View
status%ActiveSync encountered a problem on the desktop."

I'm using Office 2007--does it work with that?

thanks

To tell you the truth, I am confused! RTM, RC1 or RC2, the story has to be
completely different I hope.

RC1 and RC2 needs to download the beta3 sync center thing, fine – but in RTM
it seems that the finale version of sync center shipped along, or did it? I
have major problems getting RTM sync center to find my qtek8020. It connects
but it does not appear in the “setup new partnership†section.

So how to sync your mobile device with Outlook on a Windows Vista RTM???

Hi Matthew.

Of course I should have mentioned that already, but I have tried that with
no response.

OK – I finally decided to downgrade the WMDC from RTM to Beta3 and guess
what, everything suddenly started to work; my phone got connected and started
syncing. That’s nice, but cum on guys should this really be necessary?

I just flashed my phone with a ROM Upgrade from HTC. This (obviously) blew
away all my configurations. When I tried to reconnect to Vista it worked
EXACTLY as it should have. The WMDC poped up and asked about the phone and
partnership details.

Have you made sure you have the latest ROM?
