I'm trying to connect my PPC Phone (Cingular 8525) to Vista Ultimate. I
have Windows Mobile Device Center and the beta 3 drivers installed. I
connect the phone and I get the "connecting" message, but after a while it
turns to "Error". These messages are on the Mobile Device Center screen.
However, I believe that the phone is connected, because I can use a .Net
program that I wrote (RAPI based) that copies files to and from the phone.
It's just that Mobile Device Center never tells me it's connected.
I found the wmdc.log file for and below I've pasted the errors which occur.
I'm unable to interpret these into anything useful for myself.
Anybody else run into this issue? Thanks,
