   I used Vista since the retail launch.  My PPC6700 worked flawlessly out of the box until I got fed up with the OS rot and reinstalled.  I don't think I had the 6.1 update on my old install, and used my HTC Touch to sync with 6.0 with no problem.  A few days ago I reinstalled Vista and saw that I had the 6.1 version and realized that I couldn't get my PPC to sync.  I did a hard reset and uninstalled/reinstalled WMDC about 10 times.  Eventually, it worked for some reason.  I used it for a day and was happy just to finally have my calendar updated on my phone.  This morning I went to sync and I was getting the Code 10 error again (Driver could not load).  REALLY frustrating...so I went into the connection settings to play around (Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC) and unchecked the 'enable advanced networking functionality'.  Problem seems to be solved!

   The "advanced" functionality seems to be that it won't let your device sync.  Pretty sweet feature!

   Does anybody know what the advanced networking functionality gives me that the standard mode doesn't?  Besides a headache?

   After two days of trying to get Outlook to talk to my smartphone (something that took me all of 30 seconds on XP), I finally found a fix! Buy an I-Phone and a Mac.

   Seriously, I work in IT for a national company (tens of thousands of employees).  Our Regional  Director was visiting our offices, and noticed I had a smartphone.  Our Blackberry contract is about to come up, and I think they are shopping options.  I can't say that the experience I shared with him tipped the scales much, but it definitely fits a pattern of having "new and improved" software/OS's that don't work.

   It is utterly and absolutely ridiculous that these guys would remove a basic fundamental functionality like syncing a phone book and calendar.  Forcing "upgrades" on the market while at the same time disabling core functions that people rely on just doesn't make any sense.

   I recently received a new laptop with Windows Vista (I installed SP1 after WMDC 6.1.6965 was installed). I also upgraded my phone (ATT Tilt) to WM 6.1. I started having a problem on the phone where the battery backlight was getting reset to 10 secs when I had a device password set and the phone would wake up before the lock timeout (2 hrs). I re-installed the phone to determine what was causing the problem. With WM 6.1 and no other software installed, I was able to set the password and battery backlight timeout without any problems. The next step was to sync the phone with my laptop - running WMDC 6.1.6965. Then the problem started - when I wake the phone up before the lock timeout, the battery backlight timeout gets reset to 10 secs. What is WMDC doing that caused this to start after syncing the phone? Has anyone heard of this? This is becoming a big issue on a lot of other blogs. Any help resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
