PPC6700 USB Modem Drivers on VISTA?

Ok i just got a new laptop which is loaded with the new (but crappy) microsoft vista operating system. first off let me say this, vista is an ultra headache to deal with! i dont recommend anyone using this operating system, unbuntu (linux) is way easier than vista.
anyways, back to where i was going.... my other laptop, which is loaded with windows xp, succesfully installed the usb modem drivers for the apache 6700. but whenever i try to install the same exact driver on my new laptop it says "windows cannot find the specified file"! i pointed the driver file , .inf, to the correct directory and everything. i downloaded another dialer and driver file and put it on the desktop, still windows cannot find the file even though i point windows to it (cot damn vista!).
this leads me to believe that this driver file does not work under vista. can anyone else confirm this or tell me what im doing wrong? i tried many different ways of install the driver, but vista fails. please, can anyone help me?

no body huh?

vista and dun
i too have the same problem with vista... i have read and tried several "solutions" to this but none have worked for me- my computer keeps installing a treo driver which doesnt work- funny part is i can do a BT DUN @ about 115.2kbps but if i push it too hard the phone freezes... i have been thinking about installing xp on my brand new laptop that came with vista.

Anyone figure out how to install USB drivers on Vista, mines also installs Treo Drivers on its own i can't stop it from doing that, any insight?

I am using a PPCGeeks Rom (LennySH i think) and it has an application called internet sharing. When connected with my Vista laptop the laptop uses it automatically for internet no additional drivers needed.
It also has a bluetooth setting that Vista will use to connect to a "personal area network" and your online without the cable. However the usb connection is faster.

Wizard Not Syncing To Windows XP Computer

I am having trouble getting my Wizard to communicate with a computer running Windows XP and ActiveSync 4.5. It's been awhile since I've synced it to an XP machine, as the one I primarily use is Vista, and it seems to work fine. When I plug it in it either sees it as an internet connection, or if I disable the advanced connection settings on my device it seems to install it correctly, but then it doesn't open up ActiveSync.
I'm running a custom WM6 rom that I installed about a year ago, and was looking to upgrade, which I hear XP is the most reliable for. Any idea what the problem could be? I also don't seem to be able to open Activesync by itself when the device is not installed, could it be a problem with the program itself on my XP machine?

yes
It must be the problem on the xp machine unisntall the activesync reset your pc... reinstall it and then i suggest you... if you will upgrade make a hardreset before plug your device to sync.

Well, that got ActiveSync working again on the PC, the icon showed up on the bar and I was able to open the program. But as soon as I plugged in my device, the program closed again, and now it won't open. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling again, but I got the same result. Any other suggestions?

ActiveSync not working on XP SP3 or Vista SP1

Hello all,
I have an OEM HTC touch (elf, not elfin) and am trying to get ActiveSync 4.5 to work with it but unfortunately have had no luck so far. I have tried both an XP SP3 and a Vista SP1 computer (using the mobile device center thing on vista) and have had no such luck so far.
I have tried everything on the internet that i could find to fix this including trying both with and without advanced network functionality and after completely disabling Windows firewall (i am using AVG free and Windows firewall on the XP machine) all to no avail.
Is anyone able to suggest me something new or tell me if either of these are likley to work:
a) Rolling back to SP2 on XP
or
b) Trying an earlier version of ActiveSync
Has anyone else had this problem? I have seen a few cases on this forum in other phone sections and on the net but none of the solutions that worked for them or their phone have worked.
Thankyou
Ps. Is there any form of Linux alternative that anyone knows of? I run linux on my main PC.

Hi, I am having the same issue with my Czech T-Mobile Touch. I dont know what to do with it. I am considering a bigger hammer as I have no other ideas.

I still haven't figured out how to fix this but using WM5 storage works to transfer files.

No problems here..
.. with both Vista x64 SP1 and WinXP SP3.
what errors are you getting??

Solution.
It happend the same to me. The problem is the drivers on WXP sp3.
I use a WXp SP3 stand alone instalation.
When i installed Activesync, the windows asked me for de WXpsp3 installation CD, due to activesync setup changed the usb drivers. I ansewred NO. So i did not update Wxpsp3 drivers and manteind activesync setup drivers.
Other way, do not use enhace USB connections on the config panel on the HTC.
I did two things and my HTC is working fine on WXP sp3.
Don't look for any other explanations, thats it. I've beeing trying solutions many months and anything worked. Thats it.
Good Luck.

solution
had the same problem....
mine works when i plugin the usb to my cell partially....otherwise not...
just dont plug the usb cable end of the phone fully to mobile but leave a little space in between...

Internet Sharing with HTC diamond2 (WM 6.5) and windows 7

Hi, i had problems syncronizing my phone and laptop. When i plugged in the laptop failed to install drivers and recognize the phone as "Generic RNDIS". I solved it by unticking "advanced functions" on my phone. Now i can sync it with windows mobile center. Unluckily when i try to use internet sharing it gives me the same problem. The laptop doesn't install the correct drivers (remote NDIS based internet sharing device) and recognize the phone as Generic RNDIS. I already installed windows mobile device center 6.1 and every kind of drivers.
Any help?
Thank you.

Active scync
Hey bro u need to install active scyn on ur laptop hear is the link download & install
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/activesync-download.mspx

thanks for answering. Active Sync works only with windows XP or earlier. I have windows 7 and i have windows mobile center. By the way, i can't connect to internet.
Any other idea?

It might have been a failed driver install... Go to device manager and un-install the driver but make sure the "DELETE DRIVER" box is UNCHECKED. Once it is uninstalled, reboot PC and plug the phone back in. Happened to me once and this fixed it.

[Q] hd2 to windows 7 via usb

okay so i cant find a solution to this one, if you can help me, id really apreciate it.
okay so im trying to connect my hd2 to my windows 7 laptop. whenever i connect the two. nothing happens except my phone starts charging!
I tried it on 4 computers, all didn't work
i did the "turn off faster sync thing, that didn't work
ii JUST got this usb cord, so its not broken or anything
i also hard reseted my phone a while back if that helps
thanks in advance

What OS are you running on your HD2?
Windows Mobile 6.5 requires Active Sync to be installed on your machine and should prompt you to do so the first time you connect via USB.
Android should be effortless by just selecting the USB connectivity from the drop down alert menu.
WP7 requires that you have installed the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Center, which can be found by online search. You must download the appropriate x86 or x64 version, as is appropriate to your version of Win7.
Is there a scenario that I've missed?

Thank you for posting!!

" This Program is blocked due to compatibility issues"

You are Windows 7 so require WMDC 6.1
