VISTA BUILD 5600 WITH WMDC

hello!
i just installed a fresh new copy of Windows Vista x86 Build 5600 and I've realized that Windows Mobile Device Center isn't installed.
I've searched and at Microsoft I've downloaded a file: drvupdate-x86.msi which appears on Control Panel as Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update!
Well, It's not the program, is it??? I instalde Driver Update but I don't seem to install the Program at all!
I've searched on XDA and I've found some tips, which I've tried with no result!
Add Key to registry at HKLM\Software\Microsoft named WHOS. it's supposed when I plug USB cable to PC and Universal, appear on Windows upgrade saying there is a new upgrade available. Doesnt appear!
I've seen a topic saying:
"...Yes I have it working with both USB / BT :=)
Try this procedure.
1. Download this file.
http://www.download.windowsupdate.co...bc9 4587a.exe
2. Extract it using winrar.This will give you a file "wmupdate.msi"
3. Now be sure to logon to Vista as the built in admin and run "wmupdate.msi" and after that reboot and again login as built in admin, let it complete the install.
4.Login as your regular user, connect you phone and all should work:=)"
Downloaded the file and done all right but I dont seam to make it work!
I've ONCE installed WMDC with no errors but the device appeared "NOT CONNECTED".
Now, after a NEW fresh instalation, I cant even install WMDc!
Please help!
I would like to keep vista installed, but without sync there's no way!!!!

Anyone point me to why this is happening as when i've searched the results point to doing the above?

Bump
Just a quick bump see if i get lucky?

Im using Windows Server 2008 64bit so vista modem drivers n stuff are no go.I know how manually select the drivers, but windows just says they are incompatible (INCOMPATIBLE, not up-to-date or anything else - windows just says they perhaps arent good for x64 etc even for the 64bit ones).
So here is what i done and what WILL WORK ON ANY SYSTEM - from win 2000 to win server 2008 64bit or windows 7 beta or whatever your using.
Install vmware (i used VMware Workstation 6.0.4 Build 93057)
Install WinXP-SP2/3 on it
make sure the usb device is selected on the top of the vmplayer.
install activesync, sync the phone.
install .NET FRAMEWORK 2.0 OR NEWER
start the ruu wrapper
flash & enjoy.
no need for crappy drivers, just install vmware, flash, uninstall vmware.thats all.

Windows 7 x64 wont connect

Ive tried searching now for about 2 hours for a fix.
Ive just installed windows 7 x64 pro and i can not get it to work with my HD. It will not recognize it at all. Ive had various problems, always seems different.
Ive tried turning off the enable fast data. This changed the problem, but didnt fix it.
At the moment, i have that enabled and the problem from what i can tell is, in device manager Microsoft Windows Remote Adapter is not working.
If i disable fast data, i get a connecting to host message on my HD screen and nothing else really happens.
Ive tried updating the USB drivers, but that will not work, something to do with unsigned drivers.
Under mobile devices in device manager i get PocketPC USB Sync instead of the HTC usb Sync thing.
Is there a solution for this please?

With me it worked on windows 7x64 straight out of the box. I suggest re-installing win 7.

I'd have to agree, using Windows x64 Professional here and both my Touch HD and my partners work fine (I had to allow Windows to download an updated version of Windows Mobile Device Center first though).

I do not suggest reinstalling Win 7. Geez. Sorry, but that's using an axe to trim a toenail.
Try downloading and reinstall the x64 version of Windows Mobile Device Center. Make sure you get version 6.1. Do not download any driver updates meant for Vista - you don't need them. But this main file will be marked Vista - it includes you too.
Next, it's possible that when you first plugged in the blackstone, a driver install got canceled or didn't happen right. Use your hardware manager and look for any new generic devices or HID devices. You can try deleting the hardware from the list and asking device manager to look again.
MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER.
Good luck.

Installed windows 7 last week.... i mainly use this pc at home and at work i use XP.
Anyway just connected it now to my notebook and after some driver downloads from windows the phone works fine...
make sure u download the latest mobile device center.

I had the same with my Topaz and windows 7. The fix was to disable the windows firewall while syncing.

This solved my sync problems with Windows 7 ultimate x64
Open notepad
write the text : net localgroup Administrators LocalService /add
save the file as e.g. HTC.bat somewhere on your hard drive where you can find it
Locate with Windows Explorer the .Bat file you just edited
Rightclick on the bat fil
select "run as administrator"
restart your computer. Your HTCH Touch HD should connect without problems

[Q] screen issue after installing win8

hello xda,..
i was having win7 on ma laptop..recently i have upgraded it to win8 .. my screen clarity has decreased and looks somewhat blur..right now i don have drivers cdto install..so is there any other ways to solve my issue?? pls reply...thanks
my laptop is asus (x5dc)

If you haven't installed the drivers, then your screen probably isn't set to the correct resolution. Go into the screen settings and check that the resolution matches the specs of your laptop.
Keep in mind, without the proper drivers installed, you may not be able to change the resolution.
If you can find the drivers cd, go to asus web site and download a copy of the video drivers.

Move your cursor to the bottom left of the screen on desktop so the little start square appears, right click it and in the menu which appears click "device manager".
This will open the device manager window. In the list that appears will be an option called "display adaptors". Click the arrow next to it to enlarge the options. It should then list what graphics chips are available on the system (in my case on this laptop "Intel (R) HD Graphics 4000", on my desktop NVidia GTX460 and some AMD integrated chipset).
Right click whichever appears (if 2 do this twice, once for each, but do it 1 at a time). Click update driver software. Click "search automatically for driver software". Unless the laptop is older than I think, windows should be able to go off and locate the correct driver for you and install it, you will need an internet connection.
Once that is done, reboot and then go to desktop (you must not skip the reboot). Right click the desktop > screen resolution. In the window which appears set the resolution dropdown box to 1366 * 768, anything else is incorrect for your laptop. The screen might flash a bit as it resizes, thats normal.
Running windows update fully may also update your drivers, its a good idea to try the method above first and then run windows update anyway.
Failing that. ASUS have all the drivers available here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=X5DC&os=17

There is something seriously wrong with your windows 8 install if the drivers are claiming to need the .net framework and the .net framework won't install, its built into windows 8.
But if you want to try a manual install of the .net framework:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21 .NET 3.5
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718 .NET 4
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653 .NET4.5 but I doubt required.
But before trying any of those 3 links (which are in the order I would try them), run windows update. The full update, every single important and recommended update. Will probably take hours (on my internet it will actually take 2 days....) but to me it sounds like there is something not right on your system, windows update should fix a few things (like lack of .NET and possibly drivers too) and you can go from there.

[Q] Windows does not detect my phone

Hey guys. I have a problem with my SGY. Windows does not detect it, tried different cables, but no luck. Running Windows 8.1.
I have also tried it with a different PC, with Win XP, it works. I also ran Live Ubuntu, it also detects it, so it's a problem in Windows.
Tried reinstalling Kies, USB drivers, but it doesn't help, no yellow triangles in Device Manager.
Odin does detect the phone while it is in Download Mode, it is in COM3.
Does anyone know what to do here?

Follow my instructions for how to get windows 8.1 to recognise your phone - links in my signature
Basically
Install Samsung USB drivers from my firmware thread
Remember in Windows 8.1 you have to run the setup in compatibility mode - right click the setup file - click properties - select compatibility tab - select run this programme in compatibility mode for - select windows xp sp3 - apply
Run the setup - it will now run & install
Plug your phone into the rear USB port (any if on laptop)
Now plug in any other USB device that you have already installed eg a USB mouse dongle
Windows 8.1 will now detect your phone
