    I'm having trouble with, sigh, ActiveSync. On Vista and device using WM5 on an XDA Orbit platform my XDA is now not being detected when connected via USB.

    - the XDA charges via the connection, so it's not a loose connect
    - the XDA used to connect, just 4 days ago
    - there's been almost zero change to the XDA in that 4 days, nothing of significance
    - I've upgraded ActiveSync on Vista to latest
    - I've tried both advanced and standard USB connections on the device.

    Has anyone got any further advice? Where do I go from here?

    Cheers!

    Go to XDAdevelopers.com and do a search for activesync & vista, try networking forum, you'll find your not the only one...and there are solutions.

    Google is your friend, googling "activesync vista" gives you this as the first item:

    Activesync has been replaced by Windows Mobile Device Center in Vista

    Be it called WMDC or activesync it still doesn't work properly for many devices under Vista. I have downgraded the USB drivers under Vista in order to have sync, even then it is hit and miss.
