Any posibility of VISTA's ActiveSync on XP

Hi there,
I might be asking this question again in the forum bcs I was a bit out of touch from the forum for 2 months.
Is there any posibility to install the VISTA's beautiful and smart ActiveSync on XP ?
Sidd

locate the install files and i'm sure it's do-able...

Do you mean to locate the CAB files from the Vista installation dvd??

ya i think that is what he means!

No I have tried the Vista DVD but there isnt anything like that. Any other ideas.

It isn't possible. The version of ActiveSync for Vista is built-in and requires features that are only available in Vista.

vista don't recognize hermes

Please note that with the "old" notebock, with vista too, i have use the Hermes without problem.
Just connect via usb and all works fine.
Now with the new notebock (same os (wm6.0 in ppc, and vista home in the notebock)) i have problems.
Vista dont recognize hermes.
so i cant connect ppc to notebock.
Some ona have idea how can i do a connection and a sync with vista.
Ps
i have install the wmdc but dosent works.
Please help.
pps
i have try to unceck enable advanced network funcionality, but when i do this i receive this error:
Fallied to disable RNDIS to use serial.

nobody can help me?

Damn
im going be crazy.
if i use internet sharing and conect the pda with notebook all works fine.
Pc find the rnids device and i can go to internet.
But if i try to sync the pc dont reconize the ppc...
welcom to the VISTA world

I've had nothing but issues with Vista and WM6 on my Hermes.
The few things I can suggest.
1) As you say Disable the Advanced networking....
2) Connect directly to a USB port, not through a hub.
3) Try soft-resetting your phone between connection attempts.
4) Remove associations between Vista and your phone.
I find that the first time I connect it everything's good, but on subsequent attempts it's hit and miss.

If you are using vista, there's an update for Windows Mobile software on the microsoft website.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
you need to install 6.1 for it in order for WM6 to work with vista.
Cheers

If he is using the same version of WM Device center on both computers and i am assuming he is, then i doubt it will fix the problem by downloading the latest version as i have that version installed on both my pc's.
I had the same problem, where windows just detected the device as an unknown device and therefore wouldnt let me sync.
right click on my computer and click manage, then plug in your device and see if you have any unknown devices appearing if you do right click on it and click uninstall then unplug the device and wait 10 seconds then plug it back in, this solved it for me. Although i still have to do this every so often. But at least it allows me to sync with both my pc's

HTC Shift WLAN problem
Have you had any problems with your WLAN Marvell sd8686. I can not seem to get mine to work correctly. It seems to have some problem with it. When I go to connect to a network. It does not show any of the 4 networks that should be in range. 1 sits 2 feet away. I have tried everything com manager turn off and on, reinstall device, restart, Format and reinstall Vista. It was working for the first day then I turned it off and back on after that I have had to mess with it like restarting etc. It works sometimes and others it doesnt. I tried to find new drivers but cant seem too. I called HTC europe support but they are closed. Any Help would be great.

In system manager is written: Driver is not working.
So I dont have WiFi to use.

This is exactly what I am finding....WiFi has somehow died a natural death, or been nullified by some activity I may have been doing (lots of reinstalls etc)....
Did you find any help? Thanks

https://phatpipez.homeftp.org/HTCShift/Shift/
just check my stuff, maybe it will help.
its always good to make an Acronis backup of your working shift.
this way you can restore it easily.

Thanks - that's very nice of you to provide those d/l's.
If you, or anyone else is running XP can you confirm the following for me in terms of the WiFi card setup from control panel?
Device Manager-Network adaptors - Marvell sd8686 - advanced
802.11bg Ad Hoc - not present
802.11D Support - disable
-Everything else "Not Present" except
Radio Off - Enable Radio
Does this match whateveryone else has listed under this Advanced tab?
For network I have configured everything to be basic/normal...taken firewall off so there's no blockages there...
Thanks

Usb sync

Hi. Help me please! I have got x1 but i haven't got a cd. But i want to update my rom, but it is working on Active sync. The problem : my combuter doesn't know the devce, so i can't update my rom and i can't upload Wm 6.5 Please help me. Thanks

use another combuter

switch x1 in drive mode

There is absolutely no need for the original CD, i have one but i have never put in the the computer, i don't know even what's on it
I use my X1 with 2 computers, a Vista and an XP Pro, both recognized the x1 with no special drivers, activesync ok.
to update the ROM, check the X1 ROM forum here, there is a method without PC (the MicroSD method), which i use and is very fast and easy.

Does anyone know whether there are any prog that allow usb host on the xperia? I want to plug my hard drive into it w/o using a computer

It doesn't exist simply becuase xperia doesn't has the hardware to be a usb host.

so
So, thank you for all, but my problem is still. So, I've got windows xp and x1, the usb driver connect is very godd, it is working, but if i choose the Active sync the xp doesn't know the device. I don't know why. Should i have a driver or another program ? I want to update my rom and Wm 6.5. Please help

HTC Sync install problem & no PC Sync

Second day with my Hero and really like it so far, but;
When I tried to install HTC Sync, near the end of the install, I get,
"Generic Device Management Executable has encountered a problem and needs to close",
and wants to send a report to Microsoft, after dismissing the first one another one the same comes up, then after the install I get;
"Unable to create a device manager instance".
When I try to Sync with the PC, HTC Sync won't find the phone.
I've tried the HTC Sync that came with the phone and the latest from the HTC website with the same results.
I'm running Windows XP Home, fully up to date, anti-virus is disabled during the installation.
I have spent the best part of eight hours today searching this site and googling the problem, I've found people with the same or similar problems and still can't get it to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem, tried uninstalling/reinstalling both versions, but the problem still exists.
I am also running Win XP SP3.

Me too. XP SP3.
Speaking directly to HTC gave no answers, and I gave up as I don't need to sync to outlook.

Im having problems getting HTC 2.04 to work after update.
C:\Program Files\HTC HTC Sync\Application launcher\Application Launcher.exe
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
And no it didn´t, tried it. Has tried remove and afterwards reinstall, but still not. Connection to USB is working, but can´t sync.

Just for info, I emailed HTC yesterday and got a reply back today. I tried it, but it didn't solve the problem, good customer service from HTC though.
I've pasted it (as sent) if anyone wants to try it, god luck.
"please try the following on you PC. STart, sun, msconfig, services, "hide all Microsfot Services" then "disable all", start up, "disable all", apply, close and reboot. Try the install again in this mode with no internet connection plugged in (as your AV will be fully shut down). If this works, you can reenable evertyhing, start, run, msconfig, normal startup, apply close, and reboot."

Lol, looks like a bold move
But good idea with the services, maybe we can narrow it down.
Do you have Itunes installed? Just a wild guess now as I have it installed, maybe the Apple Sync conflicts with HTC Sync.

Im not sure if that im able to do the services thing, but i will try.
No itunes is not on, but at home im using Vista 64 with itunes and its working!

Hmm, didn´t work for me.
Hope that HTC will come with an update.
For now im using CompanionLink to sync between Lotus Notes and Google Calendar, but it will only work for 2 weeks, then i have to pay.

Didn't work for me either. I tried disabling all not needed services.
@SharDK Do you have the problem in Win XP SP3 too?

@Lupus77
Yes its Win XP Sp3
Sry i wrote fail in my nick, its Shark, but nevermind

New reply from HTC.
"Are you able to try again in Safe Mode? "
Tried but still no good.

Is anyone here who got the HTC Sync working with Win XP SP3?

Phone not being recognized by the HTC Sync program
I had no problem installing the HTC Sync software BUT it does not recognize my phone. Yes I am running Windows XP Service Pack 3. I have read the manaul carefully and done everything they say, including enabling USB debugging. But to no avail. I also have tried both the new and old versions of the software.
PLEASE HELP!! I need to update my ROM

Weird, since before upgrae i had no problem connecting to sync either in Vista nor Xp SP3.
But after, then XP SP3 gives problems.
@Salmanbodla
When you connect to XP with USB, do you mount the SD card!
If you can here´s driver for XP http://www.pdauser.dk/files/driver.zip
When you connect, go to Device manager and look for ADB and try update the driver. Even try connect the Hero 2-3 times mounting the USB, that way i got the ADB in device manager. But then Sync failes, but had no problem before update.
I wrote HTC yesterday, so hoping that they will come with a solution.
Now they returned an email, writting to me that since i have a Danish Win XP, i have to install sync in Program Files/HTC/HTC sync
Im sry but im not using a Danish XP, so therefor its in the right place already.
Looks like HTC ´dosn´t have a solution for sync, very bad, since i have to use it to sync Lotus Notes at work.

Latest from HTC. Want NFO logs.
Latest Email from HTC:-
"HI STephen,
We are trying to replicate this issue here, are you able to send us the NFO logs?
Many hanks
MIke"
It's nice to see they have an interest in the problem.
Now the question. How do I send them the NFO logs? I'm a bit lost here.

Just wanted to add my "me too". I'm experiencing the same problem.
It used to work but since I reinstalled XP (serious crash) I get this error when trying to start HTC Sync:
C:\Program Files\HTC HTC Sync\Application launcher\Application Launcher.exe
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

The only difference between my old and new install of XP is that my old install was SP2 and the new install SP3.

Me too
I cant get HTC sync to work on Windows VIsta. Had Hero for 2 weeks. But cannot connect with HTC sync. I only need this for ROM upgrade... not for syncing.

Stephen did you get an answer from the htc support.
I have the same problem.

Has anyone had luck fixing the issue with HTC Sync refusing to run because 'the application isn't configured properly'?
It worked fine for me about 2 weeks ago with Win XP Service Pack 3, but doesn't anymore. I'm not entirely sure what I've changed since. I went on Windows Update and downloaded these patches (Update for Root Certificates [September 2009] (KB931125), Security Update for Windows Media Format Runtime 9, 9.5 & 11 for Windows XP SP 3 (KB968816), Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954430), Security Update for Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB952069), Security Update for Windows XP with Windows Media Format Runtime 9.5 and 11 (KB941569)); I changed which SATA port on my mobo the hard drive connected to; and that's about all I know of. Everything else would have been using programs already installed, which I had used before trying to use HTC sync.
I'm not sure which version of HTC Sync I used before, as it may have been the one on the SD card when the phone shipped, or it could have been downloaded from the website. It was probably the one on the SD card. Yesterday I tried uninstalling it after the error message and reinstalling v2.0.4 downloaded from the HTC website, but still no luck.
So, has anyone had any success with this?

Any chance you can uninstall those updates to see if they are the offending items?
