Hello,
Can anyone please point me to WinXP USB Drivers for the XDA Exec?
Device Manager: (?) PocketPC USB Sync: "The Drivers for this device are not installed"
I would therefore like to reinstall them as prompted.
Many thanks,
Andy
(PS, it detected USB link and ActiveSync'd immediately on my work PC).
don't need set driver, when u set active sync it also set diver 4 u, u should reinstall. maybe win on pcc hava problem
Sorted! Thank you.
Thanks rockone1909,
installing ActiveSync 4.5 sorted the problem - you learn something new every day. Strangely enough, it took a number of PC resets to get ActiveSync to 'do it's stuff', got there in the end though!
Thanks again,
Andy

HELP!
I'm a new to PPC. I've got an O2 mini, I charged the device well just now, but now when I connect the device to my computer, always says that the USB device is not operating well and windows can't recognize the device. Is there anyone could let show me what's wrong? what should I do? Thanks!!!!!
Hello,
Are you sure you have installed Active sync in your Desktop?
Regards
Carty..
Is your USB cable plugged into a front USB port on your computer??
If so, try plugging it into the back. Some front USB ports do not have enough power to recognize the MDA Compact, and you get that same "USB not recognized" error. Most back USB ports are powerful enough.
uninstall activesync ... reboot system install again ! should work
the comupter may of just seen the modem side of it it happened to me you need to go into your hardware file on your pc and delete any modems you don't recogonize (carefull you don't delete the wrong one (i exepct no responsibility if you do)) and then re install active sync v 4.1 fom microsoft site. then plug it in again good luck
Thanks all you guys. I have got this problem resolved. There is sth wrong with my cable and I have bought a new one. Noe everything is going well.
Im having a big headache here, I have windows vista enterprise edition (the release version) and i downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center from microsoft. My problem is when ever I try to connect the device, windows installs HTC usb sync and after that I get another message saying I need to install drivers for a "unknown device" I went to device manager and sure enough somehow this "unknown device" is related to my phone, It askes to look for drivers and can not find any. Anyway, this is somehow creating a problem because I can not connect the phone with WMDC.
Thanks for your help,
Chris
Similar problems here with Vista Ultimte RTM. You can also watch here for some answers.

A couple weeks ago I tried to sync my Cingular 8525 but had no luck, Vista managed to find and install some HTC drivers, but I couldn't get active sync to work (mobile device center now in vista). But I could browse the files on the device. Then just today I went into device manager and manually told it to look for new drivers online, it did, found some, and installed them, then mobile device center started working and I could sync. Wahoo!

This just happened to me today after using wmdc on vista business for 2 months. now my device comes up as "uknow device" in the device manager and then a few seconds later I get a popup window telling me that my USB device is unknown.
Damn annoying. im trying to figure out what happened and if i cant, then ill reinstall windows vista. bloody M$ crap.
when Vista prompt u for installing the driver, you have to manually select the driver location! Select driver directory to the Windows directory... Then Vista will be able to locate and loaded the device driver... i tried it works...
good luck

it was working fine for 2 months so I assume the correct drivers were installed. nonetheless, i will try update the driver for "unknown device" if I can find the inf file in the windows directory.
i tried it,
it says that my "Unknown Device" in the USB controllers category has the latest drivers installed.
this is too funny.
not sure what went wrong here.
Ive also uninstalled wmdc and reinstalled it many times and still no luck.
hrrrmmmmm, i feel a format and image coming up soon.
OK, i have solved the problem.
who would have thought I had 2 faulty sync-charge cables. They worked on Sunday and stopped working on Monday.
I noticed this happened after I used WM5torage. This is strange.
Anyways, things are back to normal
I have been sync with Windows Vista Ultimate both USB and Bluetooth for weeks. Especially the Bluetooth works great both sync and install software!!
When I plug my Universal (a Qtek 9000) into my computer with Vista Business on it using a USB cable I get a "usb device not recognized" message popping up and it fails to recognize the device and does not install any drivers for it. So now I have a "unknown device" in my device manager.
I have installed the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) and if I connect via Bluetooth I can sync just fine, no problem.
However, with the USB cable, no such luck.
I have tried to upgrade the drivers on the "unknown device" and set it to browse "c:\windows" and all subfolders but it just tells me that I have the newest driver for "unknown device" allready installed...
It charges just fine with the USB cable.
Does anyone have any hints on how I might solve this problem?
Resolved?
Hi mate,
did you get this issue resolved? Getting the same thing from my MDA Pro?
Charges fine but getting USB device not recognized error.
Nope.
Nope, never did. Ended up scrapping it in the end and now I'm using the HTC Cruse Touch. Haven't tried that on Vista yet though.
OK cheers mate, Looks like i'll have to do the same!
All I want is to be able to unlock it so I can use it on O2!!!!
Maybe you have to set in settings > connections > USB to PC "Enable advanced network funcionality". Try also set different options at AS in PDA.

Currently it has got WM5 and I cannot find the options to disable "Enable advanced network funcionality" on PDA. Maybe I am missing something but I am sure thats a WM6 option as on my HTC Artemis running WM6 has got it but not the HTC Universal.
Damn! I have the same with my HTC Polaris. And I can't figure out what is the reason... :/ It has suddenly stop working... I have tried with "Enable advance USB... " I have winXP sp3.. ActiveSync 4.5 and WM6.1 by BePe. :/ Bluetooth is working like harm!
What to do?
no solution!

This is HTC Universal section, other devices should look on it´s proper section to get a solution.
Every time i connect my wizard to my machine using the USB cable, i get the following message in baloon.
"One of the USB Devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it."
It appears as "Unknonw Device" on windows device manager.
This started happening when i changed my ROM to AMP.v2.Vanilla. Prior to that my wizard was connecting fine. I have been trying to resolve this for days now but no luck.
Following are the things i have tried.
1. Un-installed Activesync & re-installed.
2. Soft & Hard Reset the device.
3. Tried going in bootloader so that i can install my preivous rom, but the machine still doesnt recognize the device and gives the same message as mentioned above.
4. Removed all the USB controllers and re-installed in the machine.
5. Tried on different machines but same results, so its not machine specific.
6. Tried with a new cable to so its not the cable, it has to be the device.
Anyone who can help with this. I am sure i am not the only one having this trouble.
Any kind of help is appreciated. Just need to connect and go back to my preivous rom.
Thanks in advance.
Nick.
Please don't cross post. Pick a flavour and run with it.
