This may sound numb but how do we undertsand if a computer has service pasck 2 installed? I am asking this because I am using w2000 and planning to do the upgrade to 2005 by using one of my friends laptop. Or is it possible to upgrade through w2000?
Thanks in advance...
a bit cunfused there
there is a os called pocketpc 2000 it's very old
and no himalaya device have ever come with it installed they come with
WM2003
there is an os called windows 2000 it's workstion and server based
and came before XP it's current service pack is 4 i believe
any himalaya device can be upgraded to 2005 as far as i know
so if you are talking about the MW servicepack which is included in
1.72 then i would not worry too much
ok let me explain.
I bought an T Mobile MDA II yesterday and it is on the way from Germany to Sweden now. Since I am totally new to this, I am trying to read all the things that I can that is relevant to ugrading my MDA II ROM to 2005. I think I figured out how to do it, but the only problem I have is that I do not have a PC (not moble ) installed XP on it. All I have is a PC which has windows 2000 running on it. I am asking is it possible to upgrade my MDAII to 2005 using my PC which has Windows 2000 on it.
Since according to the instructions of buzz to upgrade to 2005, the PC that you are using should have XP with a service pack 2 installed. I got a friend who has a laptop with the XP installed but I do not know if this laptop has SP2 installed. So the second question is how can I undersatnd if a computer has SP2 installed.
Thanx...
if activesync works then the upgrade works
if activesync works (i'm sure it does) you can check on activesync's site at ms
or try it out
Thanks Rudegar,
I have just installed the AcvtiveSync to my machine that has w2000 on it. It seems that it is working. Now waiting for my machine to arrive :lol:

if you want to know if it is sp2(winxp) installed...right click the ''my computer''>''properties''
you can upgrade to sp2(winxp) for free, just simply click the "windows update'' in your pc.
you can install the AS4 to win2k / 2k3 / winxp but i don't think if you can sync(wm5) it but not all...just try it.

OK, I realize that this won't matter to many of you, but since I searched on here earlier hoping someone would know, maybe I can help someone in the future.
If you use Microsoft Money 2003 and sync it to your handheld, you'll find that once upgraded to Windows Mobile 2003, the installer won't install on the handheld (It expects PPC 2002). To work around this, you need to visit Microsoft's site www.microsoft.com/money and download the 2004 version of pocket pc money. Now it will install on the handheld but won't recognize money on the PC, so you download the older PPC 2002 file (from www.pocketpc.com's download section) and it will create the appropriate entry in ActiveSync.
Just an example of an oddity, perhaps it will help someone else.
I ended up upgrading to PPC money 2004 and then to Money Deluxe 2004 to get it to work properly. Both files can be found for free if you search around. I used eDonkey.
If thats not blatent I dont know what is ... LOL
like record companies... if Microsoft stopped screwing its customers then they might actually buy something?
I'm a little against using software from MS that I havent bought.... means they can still add me as statistic on who uses Microsoft...
80% of desktops run Windows... prolly 25% of that is legit
Pocket money 2004 for WM2003 and for MS Money 2004 is exist.

Even if It was one year ago, problems are always the same. I have upgraded to MicrosoftMoney 2005, an Cash Organizer Money Sync 1.1(the last one) doesn't recognize MM2005 version (it aspects 2004 one) and so I can't install it on my PC and on my Qtek2020. I had upgraded MM2004 version to 2005 one, manteining Cash Organizer Money Sync 1.1 installed. But on Syncronizeing it didn't recognize MM2005 version. Than I tried to uninstall Cash Organizer Money Sync 1.1 and to install it trying to let its see MM2005...but it didn't.How can I create the appropriate entry in ActiveSync so that MM2005 be recognized?
so you download the older PPC 2002 file (from www.pocketpc.com's

i have a java program on my laptop that works fine with all windows as long as java is installed in it, i have a meeting very soon where i might not have internet access but i need to present this SW so i need soloution for either how to connect the XDA to my laptop through usb cradle or even better can i make the java file work on my XDA
PS my java file is 3 files
1. file.jar "is the main file"
2. file.bat "contains like a dos command to initiate the above file"
3. file.properties "file needed by the jar file to read some prefixed setting & configs"
check
On the installation CD for the Compaq Ipaq there is a jvm called Jeode. I have not been able to fool it into thinking the Qtek is an Ipaq so it will install, but if you do that might be a solution.
Otherwise you could try to get hold of an old PPC2002-rom which includes the wmodem application. This will make it possible to use the Qtek as a wireless modem.
this is it, i have no idea what with the wmodem business that makes it impossible to have it on wm 2003, this is microsoft anyways, they make a product & use people as ginni pigs & maybe mw 2005 will be like windows xp the best SW with as few as 16000 bugs only
it's not a wm2003 issue because my xda2 have 2003 along with wireless modem

Any of you guys been able to sync your TyTN with Windows Vista.
I'm running Vista Beta 2 v5536 - and syncing is a nightmare.....
ptm
When you say syncing is a nightmare, do you get the setup option for windows mobile center. The similar problem I have is that I only get the connection settings thats it.
In Vista, ActiveSync is replaced by a new app called Windows Mobile Device Centre. By default in Beta 2, this isn't installed, so all you can do is copy file on and off the TyTn.
To install WMDC, you need to plug the device in and let it install the default driver etc. Then, run Windows Update, and you'll have a new Optional Update to install WMDC. Then, let this update run, reboot the machine and plug in the device again. It'll install new drivers again - I think you then need to unplug and replug the device again and you should be sorted.
Thanks Ptm, this used to be the case in the old build. But ever since build 5536 which was released few days ago, it stopped downloading the files automatically. I have run windows updates repeatedly without luck.
I am having the same problem, it syncs my storage card with the media player, and I can browse the device.
But I cannot get it to sync anything else.
I am running Vista 5536.
ah - you're running pre-RC1 builds rather than post beta 2 builds. The WMDC app has changed for RC1 and the registry key required to get the new app downloaded from WU has also changed. You'll have to wait until RC1 comes out - won't be long now
Windows Vista and HTC Prophet Upgrade
I have been living with Windows Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 since June. This is an "evoluting version" that is upgraded/improved/corrected from time to time. All in all I should not have done that and stay with XP Pro but I was not sure how to unistall it. However, the Windows Mobile Sync function works well with my HTC prophet (Qtek S200) which is equipped with ROM 2.15.23.27 WME, 3/9/06, Radio version 02.19.21, Protocol version 4.1.13.09, ExtROM version 2.15.13.121. Last week, after a little research, I decide to upgrade with RUU_Prophet_2151327_22113102_022021_Dopod_PDAMobizEdition_v101 though I was not that sure that it was really an upgrade (I was looking for the Push-Email feature). In any event, the upgrade program did not work. I am stuck. It stopped regularly with a code error [202]: Th update utility (V2.5.2) could not connect to the PDA Phone. All comments are welcome
I think the sync of media player works much better with Vista Pre RC1 than active sync, I have a dual boot, so the other functions I can still use XP.
I hope this is better in RC1 out on Tuesday?
I am using RC1 (build 5600) and still cannot get the Mobile Center up.
I've connected my WM5 BA and although I can browse it - it's as though Mobile Center doesn't recognise it's a WM5 device so doesn't start up. And Activesync, like before, still cannot be installed on 55XX and 56XX builds. Looks like its just a broken feature.

No, it's not broken in RC1 - it's just different to the WMDC for beta 2 and I don't think the enabler has been posted publicly yet. The enabler allows you to download the download WMDC from Windows Update by adding a registry key. The new version of WMDC works fine in RC1 (I work for Microsoft btw, so I've got access to the internal versions, but I'm using RC1 - 5600 - and WMDC is fine)
It is difficult for me to argue with a genuine specialist of Microsoft but with respect to the Sync function, I recall that the "Windows Mobile Device Center" that has replaced in Windows Vista the ActiveSync 4.1 of the past did not work until I triggered the firewall options. After it worked well though the Notes included in the Contacts (MC Outlook) are not synchronised correctly. Hence, my surprise for the impossibility to upgrade as explained above.
Ok, I will have to wait until next week to test your views on RC1, as that when its comes on MSDN, subscription which I have.
I'm on 5600 to - any help with WMDC? *cough*
Hey petes. How is RC1, is it stable enough to use as an everyday OS. Does office 2007 work ok on it? Does it work with windows server 2003 r2?

RC1 - 5600 - seems very solid. I don't know what the plans are for a later public build of Office 2007, but the build I'm running (which is quite a bit later than beta 2) seems really happy on RC1 - I haven't had any crashes at all - but then 5600 was only cut on 30th os it's pretty new. However, the interim CTP builds have really been making strides each month. I no longer have an XP SP2 partition on my machine - I, and I think many others, will see RC1 as the time to switch.
I'm using Vista Beta 2 and sych with TyTN is fine.
However, I'm having trouble using my TyTN as a laptop modem under IR, bluetooth or USB. Do any Vista users have a similar experience?

Solved my own problem and I can now use my phone as a laptop modem, by bluetooth, IR and USB with Windows Vista (needed to hard reset my Hermes).
hi,
i'm using 5536 and when i click sync in wmedia player the program crashes. it says a problem caused the program to stop working. any ideas?
thanks.
I have got RC1.5600 now, but the sync still does not work, may I need a fix to enable this, or have to do a hard reset of my tytn.

You can get the latest version of ActiveSync from Microsoft's website (for Win XP).
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-synch.mspx
If you're using Vista, you'll use Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) that is already built into Vista (no download needed.)
hi there. i was wondering if someone had any experience, connecting his Win Mo 6.5 on a Windows 2008 Server PC/Laptop and had a successful sync.
I recently changed on my laptop from windows 7 64-bit to windows server 2008 R2 64-bit (the reasons actually simple, server OS runs way smoother that Windows 7, and manages RAM much better on a laptop), but im no more able to sync all my stuff i used to sync with WMDC.
downloaded from MS site the Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver (vista, 64-bit), installed fine, but when i did connect my HTC HD Mini, it couldnt find any drivers.
It starts to try to locate the drives, but then, error finding'em.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance
win 7 and server 2008 r2 have same core.. there is no different memory management, it comes with less hardware-consuming userstuff like aero-desktop, thats the reason why it feels "smoother". using server without intention to use all that serverspecific stuff is stupid, because it has less compatibility to lots of programms and tools, you will also need special server editions of software that will cost a lot more money. and dont let us talk about the different prices of win7 and server 2008..
you can slim down win7 to a naked win server 2008 (there should be many articles in the web)
but if you have problems on windows server, take use of microsoft support service..

dude, without been TOO rude, i didn't ask about anyones opinion what OS is better or runs faster/smoother. There is a good reason i switched over to Windows 2008 R2 and honestly i don't have to explain why, especially to ppl who didn't get the question.
so, unless, u had any experience with that kind of stuff, please spare me.
@other: sorry for my language.
P.S. @schlund: mein lieber freund, wenn Du nicht die frage kapierst, bitte nicht mit nutzlosen zeug und Kommentaren spammen. Danke

let me inform you, that indeed Windows 2008 R2 Server runs SMOOTHER even with Aero stuff enabled (its called Desktop Experience and Windows Theme service enabled).

finally, i figured out, how to make it work
go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=6eb8d0aa-bc6b-4864-8ffe-dc26e1d9f843&displaylang=en and download Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit). Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=4F68EB56-7825-43B2-AC89-2030ED98ED95 and download Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit) (you have to have a valid copy of MS OS - because Validation is Required).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install the downloaded files with the order you downloaded them (1. Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit) and 2. Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit))
Plugin your WM device, and voila, everything works fine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My problem was, i downloaded only the first file from the Microsoft site, since i thought the second file was the same (names are almost identical, if you are in a hurry)
P.S. if you have Microsoft Outlook 2010 64-bit (im not sure if this the case with the 2007 version as well), active sync will not work.
