Does anybody know if the new synch center in Vista will synch documents mail contacts etc from an XP computer? I have a new tablet and would like to be able to synch to my desktop XP. Can I get a USB data cable and synch that way or do I need laplink?

You need Mobile Device Center on Vista

On XP, you need ActiveSync

I guess I used the wrong terminology.
Can the Windows Mobile Device center Synch from another XP computer? Does the XP need Active synch? I cannot see how AS would work on the XP box. Is this this documented anywhere from MS or others?

I'm still not getting what you mean... are you trying to sync outlook between PCs.. no PDA involved?

Yes synch between a Desktop at work and a tablet. Can Vista do this?

radimus

vista doesn't do that, ActiveSync doesn't, and neither does MDC.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but you might want to check out SyncToy. You can use it to sync entire folders between devices. You cannot sync individual files. To learn more about this software and to find a link where you can download it:

Microsoft's SyncToy

Julie,
Thanks for that. I have seen that but not tried it. My Sandisk thumb drive already has synch which is what I am doing now. I was trying to save a step. I guess I will try lap link

Hi Chris, SyncToy does exactly what you are after. I sync my Vista box with my XP box ok. It also syncs the sub directories. It seems a bit like a cut down version of Laplink.
