Yep, I downloaded it.

sgtsampay, exactly what version did you use?

What network card do you have? That is very........ strange.

I have not encountered ANY driver problems from like build 4xxx.

But if you are using the x64 versions, it could be a different story.

sgtsampay · 10-08-06, 07:59 PM

I'm using a old 100mb eternet card from 2001. I also was using RC1 version.

if you are missing drivers in vista just take driver for xp and install it manualy..and then run win update and it will find correct driver it has worked on more pcs for me...

and good news:) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...icecenter.mspx

Good.........

sgtsampay, what brand computer are you using? What archetecture (x64, x86?)

Edit> Look closely and you shall see....... no just kidding. But looks like that the Mobile Device Center DOES support WM2003, contrary to some beliefs.

The following mobile device operating systems are supported by Windows Mobile Device Center Beta:
• Microsoft® Windows Mobile® 5.0
• Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Microsoft® Windows Mobile® 5.0

Isn't it a bit risky, releasing all these builds to the public? I mean, it would be easy to hack it to get a free copy.

ABF, its had a x64 version for a loooooooonnnnnnnnggggg time......... Back in Beta 2, MANY people reported problems with the x64 versions. It may have improved. I personally don't have a x64 (wish I did), so I can't test it.
