Sync with Vista

Hello,

I work for quite some time (a couple of years) with Intellisync in order to
synchronise my PDA's (a WM2003 Mio 168 and a WM2005 QTek 9100) on Windows
XP. Intellisync communicates with the PDA via MS Active Sync. I need an
advanced sync solution like Intellisync because I need to sync different
folders from various Outlook PST files, not just the main profile. With
Intellisync that's no problem at all. But now I'm upgrading to Windows Vista
(fortunately I made a dual-boot, hence I can revert to XP Pro) and as far as
I know ActiveSync isn't any longer supported. Vista comes with a "nice" sync
center instead. However this might look more advanced then ActiveSync, one
still needs a third-party application in order to sync folders and other
powerfull features. My question is if someone knows a solution to this
problem. All suggestions are welcome such as:

- another application like Intellisync that works on Vista
- a workaround for Vista to use ActiveSync
- maybe it is possible to to advanced settings with Vista, but I don't see
it
- etc ... etc. ...

As long as I find a solution to this problem.

Thanks in advance,
Perry

Hello Christian,

Oh yes right.... in fact it was automatically installed as an online update
as soon as my PDA was connected with the PC.
It is now part of the sync center, I guess so far everything is OK. But I
don't find (advanced) options in order to select underlaying folders in pst
files.
When trying to install my Intellisync software its says that Active Sync is
missing.

Do you think I can do this with the Mobile Device Center?
Or any other solution?

Thanks for your assistance,
Perry

I too want to use Intellisync (because my PC runs Lotus Organizer) with Vista.

I get a different problem. Intellisync installs fine, but it does not see
the connection provided by the Mobile Device Center - I just get a message
saying please connect the mobile device.

Clearly the underlying connection method is different enough under Vista to
stop Intellisynch from seeing my connected iPAQ. Itellisync is the only
application I am aware of that will allow synchronisation between the iPAQ
and Lotus Organizer, so I am stuck. Intellisync was taken over by Nokia a
little while ago and a Vista-compatible version is in the pipeline, but how
long will this take?
