Hello -

I have an HP iPAQ hw6955 with Activesync on it (I used this in the
past for Windows XP)

I just got a system with Vista Home Premium and have downloaded the
Mobile Device Center and Mobile Device Center upgrade, but when I put
the Pocket PC into the cradle nothing happens.

When I invoke the Mobile Device Center from the Start Menu, it comes
up but displays "not connected".

Have seen many postings on the web for this issue but haven't been
able to locate a solution.

Anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance

Try deleting the previous partnership on your device and reboot. To do
that, open Activesync on your device. Select your PC and click the
Delete button. Let us know if this helps.

Activesync doesn't apply to Windows Vista, and it is not installed.
For Vista there is Windows Mobile Device Centre (WMDC).

The PC recognizes the device but WMDC never did and never set up a
partnership. Still stuck.

Just a shot in the dark, but did you set it to use "DMA" instead of the
default "Bluetooth"?

I'm not sure what DMA means. I'm not an expert, but I think the
"default" is to put it in the cradle and connect via
USB. I've been fiddling with it so maybe. Where would I look for DMA?

I spent the better part of 2 weeks fixing the same thing. I'll save you some time and point you to everything I found including my solution:

if you still can't get it to work, here is how I was syncing my contacts before getting wmdc to work:
