I have been waiting for this since I first installed Windows Vista RC1. Below you will find download links for both the x86 and x64 versions of the program. So far, I haven't had much lucky getting it installed, but my laptop is a little over three years old. Let us know how it works for you! :)<br /><br /><u>Download</u><br /><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c23c8e6a-a72d-4aef-9663-31ce2fefbada&amp;DisplayLang=en">Microsoft ® Windows Mobile ® Device Center Beta 3 for Windows Vista™ (x86)</a><br /><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=05eebb5b-b5bf-472e-97fc-4c9c22225d28&amp;DisplayLang=en">Microsoft ® Windows Mobile ® Device Center Beta 3 for Windows Vista™ (AMD64)</a>

Will have to give this a try.

I might have to decide to run Vista full time on my home computer.

Looks pretty much the same like the earlier screen shots.

In case anyone is interested, I will post the screenshots; but they are the same as the ones we have posted here SPT earlier.

Vista isn't loading the proper driver for my new T-Mobile Dash! :(

It's only loading a driver called, Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter under Network Adapters -- nothing more!

My 2125 works great with Vista, except that television I playback on it looks all small.

Check and see if there's any drivers on the CD that came with your phone. If not, check Windows Update, if not - you might have to wait until Vista launches. :?

Well, I found a setting on the phone, changed it and now it's recognized byt Vista properly.

It's a setting called "USB to PC" under Settings; Connections (third screen in).

Once I changed that setting, described as, "Changing the type of USB connection your device uses can help with problems connecting to Activesync." -- Enable advanced network functionality.

The above setting on my phone was checked by default.

To get the phone to be seen by Vista, I had to uncheck it.

Awesome! Thanks for posting the solution.

So the sync problem is with Vista only or is XP also affected?

Vista only so 99.8% of the population doesn't have to worry about it. ;-)

However, you never know, people with Mac's could also have a similar problem if MS/HTC changed the interface.
