When I go into the windows mobile connection center, it says that there is no device connected, and device manager has it as a networking device?

Here is a link to the non-beta Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC). As indicated it finally is out of betaness. I have it installed and working very well with Bluetooth. The WMDC can always be sort of a pain with USB. So, if USB doesn't work right off, then I always get it working first with Bluetooth. On my real Vista laptop (and the later Vista betas, including RTM), I never got the WMDC beta to work with USB. Post back if you want info about installing. In general, it can be tricky to install.

hey guys,

Thia is going to sounds really stupid but ive been struggling for 3 hours to transfer the contacts from my MDA Vario III over to the Windows Mobile Device Centre!

In Windowes Mobile Device Centre after you have created a partner ship asks you whether you want the link to transfer music files, contacts, files etc - I ticked the contacts box and synchronised the device. It's all working fine except i can seem to access the contacts list - to check that the numbers from my phone were transferred onto my laptop for back-up.

am i being really stupid and have missed something - someone help - please!!!!

I have a Toshiba e740 PDA that runs PocketPC2002 - how can I sync this in Vista? In fact, I guess syncing it isn't quite as important as restoring it. Recently my PDA's battery took a dump and therefore all my contents did too... so now I need to either A) reinstall all the programs (somehow) or restore a backup I have... (again - somehow)...

Activesync no longer works in Vista - if you try to install it, it tells you "Sorry you can't install that on this operating system" and redirects you to Windows Mobile, which I have (version 6 - latest) however, it does not connect to my PDA. Device manager see's the e740 and the drivers are installed for it - shows up under "Mobile Devices" tree and has the specific title of "TOSHIBA Pocket PC e740"... I believe in previous versions of Vista, I could at least see the e740 from within "My Computer" but even that doesn't work now. And besides, getting it to the point of seeing it in "My Computer" is useless as I want to restore a backup created by ActiveSync, OR have another way to actually install programs on it still....
