My MDA Pro crashes my PC (with Windows XP Pro SP2). As soon as my PC detects the MDA Pro - via USB using Activesync 4 or not, the PC immediately reboots.
Windows reports the problem as "A device driver installed on your computer caused the problem; however, we cannot determine the precise cause."
I had no problems connecting with my Orange SPV M2000.
The MDA Pro does work fine on my Win2k work PC, but that's far from ideal!
Are there any alternative Windows XP drivers to try?
I have attached my Cingular 8525 to by computer via the USB cable. I am running Windows Vista (32-bit, official product release [not a beta or release candidate version]). I have also inserted the original Cingular CD containing the drivers for the phone. However, these drivers are for Windows XP (or other versions of Windows, but not Vista). When I connect the phone to the USB cable I get an error:
----- begin snip -----
Windows needs to install the driver software for your Generic RNDIS.
Device driver was not successfully installed.
Generic RNDIS
----- end snip -----
I have also searched the XDA-Developers Web site for answers, but have not found any relevant answers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/ and http://xda-developers.com/). Places I have looked for answers include:

Any ideas?

Install Windows Mobile Device Center Beta. It's available free from microsoft. After installing that my 8525 was recognized immediately and installed the following drivers automatically:
WpdRapi.dll
WUDFRd.sys
Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter
There may be some other things it installed, but the bottom line is my 8525 is working well with Vista and everything installed automatically. My 2125 is working well, too.
EDIT: I am using Vista RTM Build 6000.
Windows Mobile Device Center Beta is also working for me (on a T-Mobile Vario II). A little buggy but does the job.
Does anyone know when the final release of Windows Mobile Device Center will appear?
WMDC Beta 3 on Vista Ultimate is one of the most useless beta from MS ever. In fact apart from a connection sound my Vista doesn't do anything when I connect my TyTN - on my XP Pro home at least I can browse my device. Here at work I can't use it at all, period.
After 1-2 months of use I have to admit this Vista is an enourmously giant piece of sh*t for hundreds of dollars - stay away of this crap at least for another 6-8 months or as long as you can.
Firstly, Vista is a great OS. You need the hardware for it (it really needs more than 1Gb of RAM to perform well) but if you have then it makes XP look like the aged operating system that it is.
And although WMDC beta 3 is not perfect, it works OK on my PC and is much nicer than ActiveSync.
Yep WMDC beta is a little buggy but that's why they call it beta. And since Vista Ultimate hasn't even been officially released any criticisms of it or reports of problems with it on your system are mute until the release date.
With that said, I'm running Ultimate on a Toshiba laptop and love it.
I am having a simular problem. i cant connect my 8525 to the pc. when i attach the usb to the computer and the device nothing happens.
under device manager when i force it, the 8525 comes up as an unknown device and when i try to install drivers for it, it says it cant find any.

I have a multple boot machine, running, XP Pro, VISTA Ultimate RTM, Knoppix on HD (linux kernel 2.6), ofiice 2007 on both Windows. I use also Virtual PC 2007 on VISTA to have an XP Home virtual machine inside VISTA
No way to have a reliable use of mobile devices in VISTA.
Windows media player Sync is a random event, connecting and syncing is the old and well known Windows "Plug and Pray"., Virtual PC can't use USB sync, no way
On Xp Office 2007 works perfectly with Active Sync 4.2, I flashed the Hermes BIOS, and Shared my phone Internet connection.
Vista is still in a growing up stage (buggy or NO drivers at all, old Sw unstable when running on Vista, USB devices like webcams, USB phones, printers not working) . As an example I have an all-in-one HP network printer, with drivers included in VISTA Ultimate RTM release. I can print my photos only with borders, no way to print borderless!)
To solve all VISTA issues and release the full power of VISTA-Mobile Devices integration I think a common effort is needed, between mobile 0S (crossbow will be released also with this purpose) and WMDC. Remember, at the beginning they said "no need of any other SW to connect and sync VISTA to mobile devices", then... we still have WMDC in BETA

aroundlsu,
What driver(s) show for your 8525 under Device Manager? Mine is showing as HTC USB Sync and always generates a Code 10.
TIA,

Do you have WMDC installed? If so, Update the RNDIS driver manually. You are looking for the Microsoft Corporation "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" drivers. You will have to use the Show All Drivers switch when you search for it. Then a second New Hardware window will pop-up, this is the one for the Hermes. Unfortunately it is also where I am stuck. I have my 4700 syncing, but my 8525 is not properly identified/loaded.

Vista works fine with my 8525.. everything sync'd up by itself. I think it automatically downloaded the HTC update.
Hi I'm new and was put on to you guys by the microsoft blognewschannel. I recently bought a T-Mobile MDA 1 on Ebay and it's great apart from when setting up ActiveSynch I was told to download Windows Media version 10 to make it compatible however when plugged in to laptop with ActiveSynch running WM10 refuses to recognise device and so I cannot download on to my MDA - any suggestions please?

Did u try installing while connected to the internet? cuz You don't need to go searching for a driver as windows 7 comes with a pretty nice feature that helps by auto-connecting to windows update, fetches and installs d driver for you...
P.S...i'm running windows 7 ultimate 32-bit and i use a bluetooth dongle myself (Active sync/Data transfer works perfectly)
agree, never had a problem with win 7 drivers
(except win 7 64bits)
When I connect my DVP it searches for drivers but cannot find the drivers / recognize device. Anyone have this problem, or better yet, a solution?
Have you installed the Zune desktop software?
yes I have the Zune software. I've un-installed, restarted, reinstalled to. running windows 7 x64
Also using Win 7 64 bit, no problems. What firewall/anti virus are you using?

call Zune support...they will help you
zune support is for zune player devices and support is from microsoft.
I plug the usb wire to back of pc on a usb 3 port, looks like it is connected, got sync screen.
Ended up re-formatting my HDD, and reinstalled. Works now. Worked on my wife's HP. Would've been really bad if my DVP didn't work with my Dell Studio lol
