Aaron,
When you say retail copy, do you mean the disc that comes with the
phone?
If so, last I checked, that disc has got Active Synch on it-not WMDC.
Sorry if you knew that,but the disc included with my phone(bought it 3 weeks
ago-is all)
is for xp only-not Vista.
Actually gotta run for now, but I'll get back to ya-
nope nothin special-just dloaded the x86 WMDC from here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...9df9-4920-af33-3a0e2e4e7beb&DisplayLang=enOhh and let it install; it does look like it's not done-at least with me itdid.But when i plugged in the usb cable(hate that plug on the phone-btw) itfinished installing.Installed WMDC first, then plugged in the Star trek phone(LOL)NPLaptop is on "private" for network, and nothin special; runnin Avast AV(freebtw-and great), if you are runnin WLOC or even McAfee Enterprise 8.1 (or 8.5can't remember) for Vista, ya may need to disable them to get WMDC toinstall. With McAfee Enterprise-for sure disable it to install WMDC-McAfeeEnterprise doesn't let ya run from a temp folder to install(which is goodsecurity wise,but most installs do that)I'll get back to ya,ohh and chk out the smartphone newsgroup-lotsa ppl may be able to help inthere-microsoft.public.smartphone
