Hi,

Just wondering, is anyone experiencing connectivity issues, with WMDC on
Vista? I have an HTC Touch and cannot seem to connect. Is bluetooth still
an option for connecting and is this anymore reliable?

Kind regards

RickyP

By chance, is it Vista SP2?

SP2 may well be the cause...

I only noticed it when I had WMDC and my HTC Touch Pro connected and working
fine on Windows Server 2008/SP1 (32 bit), but after installing Windows
Server 2008 SP2 it stopped being able to connect to the device. The device
shows it connects (ie, it prompts on the device for an ActiveSync vs Data
connection), but Windows, MyMobiler and WMDC do not see it as connected.

Uninstalling SP2 resolved the issue.

Given Windows Server 2008 and Vista are basically the same core OS, I'm not
surprised to see the same problem on Vista SP2.

If you uninstall SP2 does it resolve the connection problem for you as well?
I know it's a pain to uninstall but it'd help to verify the issue.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I am on Vista only, I haven't yet installed
any service packs yet.

In the end I had to delete the partnership and start over again. This then
allowed me to connect and create a new partnership and it's working fine
(for now!).

Kind regards
