Hello all,
I'm having a problem with Windows Vista...I can't install my PPC-6700 as a usb modem. Oddly, this worked on older beta builds of Vista, but no longer works. When I plug the phone into the computer with wmodem running, the device is identified as a generic serial device. when I point vista to the driver .inf file, install begins but then craps out with the error cannot find file. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
MJB
Found a solution. Download the attached inf file to use with Windows Vista. It has been altered from the original version.
Best,
MJB

Didn't work for me - same "cannot find the file specified" problem...

CDMA_USB_Driver works
I just tried the CDMA_USB_Driver with my T-Mobile MDA on Vista Business and it works just fine. With the other versions of the usb modem drivers I had also been getting the "file not found" error but this one work just fine
its offical this driver does work for vista whereas the original did not. Why my BT card comes in i will probably use that since from what i read it works better than usb in vista but for now this will be fine
Running into the same problems, Might sound crazy but where do I put the *.inf file?
Also, is there a new file to upload to the phone to get it to work?
Thanks.
Mine works fine with Vista Ultimate. In order to get it to work, make sure that you have no bangs in device manager. Connect the phone to the computer and it should detect it as new hardware. Once the new hardware wizard comes up point it to the usb file. It should install the modem after that. Once that is completed go into network connections and setup a dial up connection for the phone. Use #777 as the number to dial. that way when you start the usb modem on your phone, you connect to your system. Click on connect to, and then dial. It should connect without any issues..also if you do not already have it, download and install windows mobile device center for vista. This is the new app that is replacing active sync. Once installed it will recognize and sync with your phone
Is there any charges for this if you have the unlimited data plan?
I am trying my first sync with Vista but when I connect it to PC it starts to look for some drivers. Vista doen't find theme and I can'T sync. What drivers is looking for? Ho can I sync my x7500 with Vista?

are you using the beta Vista? you need to download the software call windows mobile device center.
Hi, I'm useing Vista Ultimate, no beta, and I still have MDC, but when I connect PPC Vista try to search and download some drivers without success and it doesn't allow me to sync. Previously I was using MDC with HTC P3600 with no problem...

have you try connect your p3600 and see whether it sync?
I can't test P3600 because I gave it away. Here it is what I get when I try to sync:
I don't read your language, but based on what you've said, try checking windows update, while your athena is connected. Perhaps, there are files for you to download after you connect. I have Vista Ultimate as well, and the drivers did install when I first synced, so you should be able to have them too.
Really I dont' know what could it be. However the message window say that:
it's necessary to install GENERIC RNDIS DRIVER
What the hell!!!!
Now I'm trying under XP and I have no problem...what could it be? Any suggestion?

I'm using Vista Business with Dopod U1000 and it runs flawlessly.
But I was getting Hell with Dopod 900 WM6 and Vista synchronization. So much problems, bugs, and inconsistencies.
Ohhh, thats what it says. Microsoft supply's in most cases generic remote NDIS drivers for at least USB, so vendors won't have to create their own specific drivers (or so I've read, anyway ). Do you run Vista 64? I've heard of 'RNDIS driver missing' issues with Vista 64. You may also want to check your startup disk you received with your Athena. I realize you use WMDC, but there may the RNDIS drivers bundled with Activesync, that you may be able to pull out. Just a thought, and other than that, I'm not sure what else to say, except look on the net. Good luck, I can only imagine how frustrating this must be for you.
Just to let you know i also run Vista Ultimate 64, and uses WMDC, the first time i connect my DOPOD U1000, it install the driver straight away without any problem, then i can start sync with no problem.

I'm running Vista 32. About startup disk it could only install Activesync and really I can't fiugure out how to extract drivers needed. About net solution, Vista couldn't find drivers on line...

Here are a few screenshots. Using Wisbar Advance 2, Wisbar Advanced Desktop, Weather Panel, and Pocketbreeze.
UHm very very OT...please some advice about my problem related to this post will be welcome...
It seems that it cant recognize device...
I Found solution!!!
It's a WMDC bug that start to find RNDIS drivers in wrong folder. So all I had to do was to force it finding drivers in correct folder: C:/windows
Now I can sync!!!
Here it is reference...in italian

Got mine working with 64bit windows vista. just deleted that file.
YOU ROCK!!!
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! You don't have an Idea of how many hours I spend searching a solution for get my htc wizard recognized, your last comment on force the driver search on c:\windows solve my problem too...
But not also with my phone even with a lot of hardware that I can't make get recognized...
Vista seems to be a real pain in.... anyways I don't know how many research I have left but, I have two vista x32 home premiun edition computers one made by gateway and the other by samsung.
And I notice that the samsung one doesn't have any problem recognizing hardware, so I entered to the device manager to see the drivers and I notices must of them run under the 6.0.6000.16389 vista_rtm .....) version and I found that this Driver Kit it's availiable on windows connect for beta testers, so I decide to download them, lets see if this driver kit solve many issues with my gateway.
New Version WMDC 6.1 is available!
New version is available in Microsoft website,you can download freely and install!
It should solve most of the problems!
I'm using Dopod U1000 with Vista Ultimate and WMDC 6.1 without any problem!
My only concern is I'm unable to 'reflow' pdf documents using Vista!(It was very easy with Active Sync4.5 & XP)
Any idea to overcome this problem?
plz share!

Hi to all!!
I have a 1605 Vodafone (VPA COmpact III) and my Vista x64 don't recognize my phone... so I can not synchronize with any app. I need to install apps and share information with Outlook, etc... anyone have a driver to use?
Thanks in advanced.
Download the Windows Mobile device center driver fr vista x64 and you'll be ok
Downloaded & installed but my XDA is showed "unknow" in hardware devices so I can not connect with it... any other idea? thanks for your reply.
Try playing with the USB-to-PC options under Settings... Connections... I've found that disabling "advanced networking functionality" does the trick...
or try connect device in back USB on PC, not from front, or use shorten cable. It could be not driver related problem.
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
Hello,
I tried to run the Modem Link application in the program files folder in my HTC Wizard (imate kJam) but when I connect it via USB, it asks for a driver, I wonder where can I get the drivers for that?
Currently I am using Bluetooth to connect to GPRS (i-e use GPRS on my computer) but I think connecting via USB might speed it up.
Please help, thank you.
yeah. the driver is inside the installation cd that came w/your phone. You can also find there a modem dialer program.
