   cdrider: I bought my phone on eBay and it did not come with such software. Admittedly not a common situation and perhaps it's bad on me.

   More importantly, it's redundant: Outlook does exactly the same things as already present Windows Vista programs -- which is the waste of space? If I have Outlook I don't need Windows Calendar/Contacts installed... Contacts is a "Special Folder" right in my user-folder and a Windows-Powered device with syncing capabilities can't talk to that? That seems a little ridiculous to me.

   I hope they fix the sync problem too. I had a file that was not changed on Vista since May 15th, I made many changes to it on my PPC.  On May 30th I did a sync and lost all changes on my PPC. With Active Sync I never had this problem. If both were changed it would ask me which to replace.

   I really like using Windows Live Mail on my desktop at home and would like to be able to synchronize my WM5 (or WM6 whenever Verizon releases an updated phone) device with my email account, Live contacts, and calendar.

   I just bought a new system with Vista business and i'm having much difficulty with syncing my phone (HTC P4350).  On XP Pro, i worked great.  I can sync to Media, but in the WMDC, it doesn't even recognize the phone.  I can't even use my ipod either...it can't find the driver (i do have the disc and installed it).

   Any help would be absolutely wonderful!

   Thank you! paymon

   I most certainly hope that you'll be able to have a look on file synchronization and calendar synchronization.

   I use Spb Finance, and sync files with my PC as a backup; my Spb Finance datafile regularly gets overwritten with the obsolete one on the PC, forcing a reentry of transactions entered and forgotten days ago. It really gets irritating after the fifth occurrence.

   Calendar sync error occurs when for whatever reason (ie new Windows install) new device partnership has to be established; WMDC smartly  copies all calendar info on the PDA to Outlook, duplicating or even triplicating every entry. It's boring to delete hundreds of entries manually, while watching out not to delete the odd entry that hasn't been duplicated.

   I've Windows Mobile 2003 (no R2) iPAQ 3970 PDA.

   Apart from this, I really like Vista, tho.

   I own a Dopdod 838pro and the new WM6 Dopod 730, both have been configured to have activesync with an exchange server. It works nicely using wireless connection but when I sync with my PC, it always show error that it failed to connect to exchange server. Would this update resolve this connectivity issue? It is very frustrating.

   vaio6,

   I am having the same problem on my Atom Life (WM6) with the current WMDC.  Everytime I sync via WMDC, the system can see the Atom Life (I can copy files across) but WMDC and the device reports error in connecting to the Exchange server.  OTA sync works fine on the device......

   Very very annoying!

   I just got a Moto Q and it's working fine with Vista and WMDC. Is there any way to change the default Outlook Contacts folder for sync? I created one in Outlook specifically for mobile but can't configure the device to see it.

   Thanks,

    Hi pfarhadieh,

    Windows Mobile Device Center only connects with Windows Mobile devices.  As for your connectivity issue, please email dcinput@microsoft.com.  I can help you troubleshoot there.

    Thanks,

    Jane
