I try to pair it, but Windows 7 keep saying it can't find a driver for the HD2... it does succeed in pairing, but gives the troubleshoot sign...
What can I do ?
you need to install windows mobile device center and then it should work. I managed to get it working and that was the only thing I installed.
just use windows update to do the install and it works like a charm. windows mobile device center and drivers are installed automatically via update.
I can confirm it works on Windows 7, but make sure your computer has a live Internet connection when you do the first connection as it has to download a couple of updates from Microsoft. It even downloads the correct image!
Edit: This should also work on Vista OK too. It went onto XP with ActiveSync 4.5 without problems also.
Edit (2): Not significant, but I note that on Windows 7 it's still called 'Windows Mobile' and not 'Windows Phone' as Microsoft now call their mobile OS!
I had no problem connecting my HD2 to Windows 7.
Works very smooth.
Probably the live internet connection is a must!
Good luck.

Has any one got the above working ?
Whenever i run the setup program
C:\Windows\WindowsMobile\setup.exe
I get the message Windows Mobile Device Center Could not be installed because at leat one windows componebnt is missing
What do i do to fix this inorder to sync my phone with my pc ?
enclosed is a screen shot of device mgr
regards
mark
Strange, Mobile center is preinstalled on the Windows vista.
What version of vista are you using?
Have you tried to install activesync 4.5?
version of vista is BusinessN
I have not installed active sync 4.5 since microsoft are saying the the new product to use is Mobile device centre and active sync does not work
my phone is the Atom Exec
could try re-installing WMDC from the microsoft website http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
Warning: This would require using the winows genuine advantage tool.
still does not work
Still dosn't even install?
Dissapointing. I was thinking how nice it was to be free of Activesync.
Has the Artmeins been connected to windows yet? did it attempt to recognise new device and install drivers?
On a side note it's nice that Microsoft put so much effort into improving their error messages. A windows component is missing eh? er which one!!!
PS. This may sound crazy, but have you attempted to connect the Artemis with it switched off. I allways had trouble connecting windows Mobile devices with them turned on, but never had same difficulties with the device in standby, I now do this automatically, so can't comment on if it happens still in Vista. The issue was that when on, often the device was not recognised.
Hi there everyone. I'm having some problems synchronizing my TD2 that I would really appretiate some help with.
I'm using a pretty vanilla TD2, retail with no significant changes. I was synchronizing it with Outlook 2003 on my previous PC with no problems what so ever. Now, i've moved across to Windows 7 (64bit Enterprise) and Office 2007, and I cannot for the life of me get it working.
I've tried a number of things, including changing over the "Enable faster data synchronizing" option under USB to PC connections, upgrading to the new WM6.5 rom, and even connecting via bluetooth - all in vain.
Does anyone have any idea as to whats going wrong, and how I can go about correcting it?
Thanks in advance for any help with this issue.
Make sure you have Windows Mobile Device Centre 6.1 installed as Active sync won't work with 7.
WMD Centre
Hi
I have Windows 7 64 bit and mine works better than Vista.
Go to this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
Download appropriate version (32bit or 64 bit). Install it. Then plug in your TD2. Make sure you see some sort of notification on your phone and your PC that it has picked up the device. Wait for any configuration to occur.
Go to Windows Update and check if you need to install any HTC Usb device driver. If so install that too.
Restart once all installed. Plug in your TD2 into computer and activate Windows Mobile Device Centre and follow the prompts.
Oh and open activesync on your TD2 and check you haven't more than the 2 partnerships otherwise this causes problems too.
Cheers

Ive bought a netbook running windows 7 starter, now my hd2 wont connect with windows mobile device center.
I originally set up the pc synch(activesync) with an xp laptop and now it wont connect with the windows 7 netbook.
The phone is telling me to install activesync , but i cant because i have to install the newer windows mobile device center WTF
Ive deleted the old connections on activesync on my phone.
Is there something new to download to my hd2?
Any advice?
Thanks
windows mobile device centre does the same as activesync. it is the new name for activesync used on win 7.
i use the starter edition also on my netbook and cannot get mobile devicecentre installed for some weird reason. probably a problem on my netbook
started using ms myphone for the things i used mobiledevice centre for.
There must be way to connect the phone to a Windows 7 starter netbook.
I plan on doing a hard reset and want to preserve all my bookmarks, and also want to flash a ROM , I'm sure ill need to sync my phone to a computer for that?
The phone keeps telling me to install activesync on my pc even though I have to use wmdc.
When I reinstall wmdc on the netbook I keep getting an error and it won't install properly.
It says device manager not installed, or something like that .
It's a bloody mystery!
for flashing a rom you do not need activesync or mobile device centre. I flash my phone from my laptop without. just put the phone in bootloader and you can flash a rom as normal using the custom ruu. alternatively you can flash from memory card.
think ms myphone can backup that also but you have to check to make sure.
on my sig there is a flashing guide, in it there is a download for win 7 windows mobile device center run it and you should be good to go
this has been discussed so often, if you had taken the time to search there would be no need for that thread!
It so easy, just use windows update to download the driver and windows mobile center and that's it. If it doesn't work you are doing it wrong because it works for everybody else that way!

Leave ytour phone, as the problem appears to be with the netbook. make sure your netbook is not connected to the internet, then disable all the security and see if WMDC recognises your phone.
Thanks for the respones, ill try those tips when I get a chance later in the day.
Apologies for starting a new thread if its been discussed many times before.
Right, i think ive tried everything.
Hard reset my hd2
Uninstalled wmdc
Did every windows update available
re-installed wmdc with webroot antivirus turned off and internet access turned off.
And it still wont recognise the hd2
When its installing the driver on my netbook for the hd2 it keeps getting an error - it says "unidentified device : device unplugged" even though it is plugged in and screen is on.
The phone will connect to my netbook for the disk drive option and the internet sharing option, so i dont think its a problem with the hd2 usb connection
Its a real mystery, anyone out there able to crack this one?
have you tried this?
settings, menu, all settings, connections, USB to PC, uncheck "enable faster data sync", click done.
when I did that, my HD2 finally connected to PC after DAYS of trying!
Yep! I sure have
The computer is just is not seeing my phone with the the activesync option, but it is seeing the phone with both the disk drive and internet sharing options.
When i try un-install wmdc some errors keep popping up, i have to manually go into the task manager and kill 2 .exe active files otherwise it wont uninstall, very strange indeed
Maybe it could be a usb port issue, but i have tried all 3 usb ports on my netbook.
Hi pabloh999,
I potentially have a fix for you. I experienced the same errors as you tried all you have and eventually found a fix - by accident!
Set to airplane mode on & then off. After this my connections & syncs were fine.
Let us know how you go.

Tried that and - nothing!
Its just not recognising my phone, its saying "device unplugged"
I even turned off the charging function when plugged into a pc, just in case that was draining too much juice from the usb port.
No problem solvers out there??
I am thinking now it could be a problem with the usb ports on my netbook.
On one of my million attempts i got a windows error message saying that i should use a high speed usb port, and it gave me a list of "high speed" usb ports on my computer.
I dont know how to use this information because it doesnt physically show which of my 3 usb ports is the "high speed one(s)"
I thought the three of them are the same?
I tried updating the usb drivers to no avail
Fu**ing pissin me off!
Sync with Win 7
Same problem here, Tried everything on the web and on XDA and still cant sync.
Is this a Microsoft Problem, Oh by the way dont agree with d3l1
Ican still sync with my old XP laptop, but my new Win 7 is crap... (Both are Asus machines)
Any pointers would be welome. Ta.
Hello, I have windows 7 64bit, the problem that i have is: When i connect the pc with the pda(win MO 6.5), mobile device starts up and keeps looking untill he says error instead of connecting. I also see that my pda is recognized as a generic serial.
I allready tried:
soft reset
hard reset
updating windows
removing WMDC+reinstall
unchekking faster synchronisation in USB settings
none of these actually work. The device works ok on my xp mce laptop, but i prefer the style of wmdc, so anyone had a solution?
There are alot of incompatibility issues with WIN7.
Sorry I don't have a solution, but Vista and WMDC works for me, I haven't tried WIN7 though because of this issue.

Probably but my previous phone(htc elf) worked perfect on WMDC, in every flash but this one is freaking me out.

The issue is more with WIN7 than WMDC.
I have seen users not able to flash ROMs or HSPL, etc, once they go to an XP machine everything's good.
I know how frustrating it is....
It is indeed a very furstrating issues. I keep about a 250mb partition of super lite xp on my hdd just to flash, although the version of 7 i put on my laptop has worked with about 5 different winmo devices perfectly.
I have been using Win7 since the upgrade was available on my Pure without any known issues.
I had intermittant problems with active sync, or whatever it is called on Win 7, and my solution was to uncheck 'Enable faster data synchronization'
Goto to Settings => Connections => USB to PC and uncheck 'Enable faster data synchronization'

I think Win 7 will sync with your phone ONLY if you have Outlook installed and working.
Without Outlook, Sync is a great problem.
PMoto
I have Windows 7 32-bit
Some soft installed:
MS Outlook, MS Note, Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows 7.
No problem.
OfCourse, you have MS Outlook, so it works allright!
I have office 2007, so that isn't the problem
Outlook is configured and working?
I had a similar problem in my XP and solved after re-installing ActiveSync. But since you said you have tried uninstalling WDMC, maybe it's a different problem. I'm using Win 7 64-bit to but have never got the problem. Maybe you can try if the device can be deleted in the device manager. Or re-install win 7...
i am on win 7 64-bit....have ms office 2007 w/o outlook....my phone works fine w/ WDMC...on my phone, "enable faster data synchroonization" is checked.
I had this same problem. All I did was update the drivers with the WMDC/driver update from the accompaning CD. I am using 32 bit Windows 7. All is well now.
Hi,
I have been having a problem with Windows Mobile Device Center for some time now and cannot find a solution.
I plug the HD into my Win 7 laptop, the drivers install, but WMDC never connects.
I deleted the partnership in active a while ago, whilst trying to get it to work, however I now cannot create a new partner ship.
I now have a second HTC phone (hd 7 mozart) this is also not recognised by WMDC.
I just un-installed and re-installed WMDC, it still doesnt work.
Windows Firewall is disabled, and there is no other firewall software installed.
Could some one please suggest what the issue may be?
Many Thanks
Dave
