Syncing with iPAQ

I have an iPAQ hx2495 and until recently had no problems synching it with my
computer which has Vista Home Premium installed. Sych Center does not even
recognize anything being attatched to my computer and yet Device Manager has
no problem ID'ing my PDA. In addition Windows Mobile Device Center doesn't
open when the icon is clicked. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling
Windows Mobile Device Center and that has done nothing to help. The iPAQ has
Windows Mobile 5.0 on it and nothing is going wrong with it. I have also
tried every possible permutation of unplugging my cradle and plugging it in
again, taking the PDA off the cradle, restarting the computer, etc. If
someone could help that would be great.

Try giving it permission in the firewall.

Already did that. What do you think of reseting my laptop/reinstalling
vista? This is kinda a big deal for me since I am a medical student and my
PDA is my best friend and am dying without it in the hospital

Does the PDA has a reset (softreset not hard) ? If so push that once not
connected and then reconnect.
It's a USB connection problem where one thinks it's still connect so no
action. after a softreset it will work again.

I had the same problem. I finally realized that Windows mobile device center
was not properly installed. I did download the newest version. Shut off all
antivirus, antispyware, and firewall. Reboot the PDA, plug in the PDA, and
then reload windows mobile device 6.1 from a downloaded saved file. You know
that it is installed if it automatically proceeds after loading to recognize
and synch the PDA

I have Dell Axim 50V with Windows Mobile 2003 and Vista OS with Windows
Mobile 6.1. Darn thing was syncing with Outlook initially but now it does
not, like all other people. This is major problem but MS is keeping so quiet
like everything is OK with Mobile 6.1.

I also have a horror story.
During month's I had no problems to sync my iPAQ 3115 with Outlook. After a
dead battery it will not sync anymore. I get a error message:
"The connection failed due to missing server information or user credentials.
Tap Options, and then the Server tab to verify that your server name is
correct.Then, tap Options... to verify that your user credentials arr correct
and try again.
Error code: DEV_9"

Where do I find the user credentials, and/or the server information? How
should it be be set? No idea, No idea where to find it.
