Yes, well, lets get something clarified.

Is media syncing syncing? Yes it is.

I'm thinking of installing Vista RC1 this weekend (dual boot). I found instructions on another site for adding Windows Mobile Device center to Windows Vista RC1. It is the second comment on this page: http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3360

Has anyone here with RC1 tried it? Does it enable syncing?

Juraj · 09-26-06, 12:11 PM

hmm i go try it now if it works:)

You can add Windows Mobile Device Center to Windows Vista RC1 like this:

Use RegEdit to add a key called "WHOS" to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft, connect your device and go to Windows Update. A new 7.0MB update will be available that will allow you to sync after a manual reboot.

end it works:) nice THX MeSue

Thanks for reporting back, Juraj. I got Vista installed but have not had much time to fool around with it yet.

I stand corrected. The Beta testing program IS IN FACT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AGAIN!!

Has anyone tried the fix mentioned at http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3360 by Mike Burns?

I'm too scared at the moment - I don't have the know how to fix things if it goes pear shaped.

If you read a few posts up you can see that Juraj did it.

I also did it, but I can't say things went flawlessly. I managed to create a partnership and sync with Office 2007 beta in Windows Vista. Then when I booted back into Windows XP, I got a message from Plaxo saying I had duplicate birthdays and did I want to delete them. I deleted the duplicates at the time, but then yesterday I relalized that all my birthdays and anniversaries had been shifted a day earlier. I don't know if the time zones got screwy or what.

I got it all straightened out by restoring from backup, but I don't think I will do anymore syncing in Vista until I don't have to dual boot into XP anymore. All in all, the WMDC doesn't seem to offer anything extra besides a more graphical interface than Activesync.

yop right that's the problem..under vista must be new partnership created..and old will be deleted.but after boot to xp i haven'taby prb with conflicts and duplicates.maybe because i use office also under 2007

**ksong12** · 10-03-06, 07:54 PM

Hmm............ I don't see how it would change anything regarding to duplicates or shifting. Do you have different Vista and XP times?

tRySt · 10-03-06, 09:10 PM

Just got mine yesterday from Microsoft, they mailed me it. Maybe time for a reformat...lol

Some time in the past week I noticed my time zone was set wrong. I can't remember if I was in XP or Vista at the time, but that's probably what messed everything up. I have some display glitches in Vista and I can't rotate my second display, so I haven't been using it very much.

**ksong12** · 10-04-06, 08:09 PM

Well, that would explain it!

I don't have a second monitor, so I can't test that part.

And tRySt, I would recommend dual boot rather than reformat.

tRySt · 10-04-06, 08:46 PM

well its time for me to reformat again anyways....problem is its on my laptop that only has a 30 gB harddrive....so it would have to be a primary because vista requires atleast a 20 gb partition....so either i get a new harddrive:approve: (wont happen for a while....got Ax instead lol) or just beta test it as primary

ps. i reformat all my computers every 9 months or so.....so yea i can do that in my sleep now....lol

**ksong12** · 10-05-06, 09:41 PM

Well, if you get incompatibility issues, don't go runnin' to me!

I would still install XP, for now.
