HI all,if you can help. I have a new laptop Dell xps 1330 with Vista home. I
have in the past used a HP Ipaq 2200 with MS windows Mobile version 5.0 for
some time previously with XP.
Now however I am dismayed trying to get it to connect with vista.
I have been trying for a few days useing infoe supplied in many user groups.
but still end up with the same problems.

It shows up as device working properly under HP USB Sync
in Mobile Devices
in Device Manager

Does not appear in
Widows Mobility Center

In Windows Mobile Device Center

message shows "waiting to connect"

When doing a uninstall and reinstall

Installing
Message "Device has been successfully installed"
Unidentified Device Searching for preconfigured driver
folders

I have had windows firewall disabled and also am using Norton 360 wich is
also selected disabled, but still no luck. Any ideas
As said have tried countless times some of you have been lucky

Try allowing/enabling `ActiveSync` as an exception in your fire-wall if you
use one and it(the fire-wall) is enabled.


CLARIFICATION TO RELATED POSTS: ...I am now loosing faith :cry: and
trying to see if, on a more global level, there is a work around to
simply NOT have to use WMDC period!...successfully of course. I mean
:sarc: WMDC can be uninstalled seperately, so that leads me to think we
could find something DIFFERENT to use, right?? I would pay money for
such a program!!

If anyone surfing the net has an answer, and you dont want to create a
login and post here (you should, its a great site) please send RELIVENT
information to me directly: (e-mail address removed)

((maybe the moderator could post this thread (viewed 500+ times
already) as a sticky to the home page?? This is HUGE problem and NO ONE
has found an answer. A little help would be nice))
