Lets try this
Open a command window (in Vista use the start search and type in Command and
you should get a Command Prompt application)
In the command window type
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
cd C:\Windows\System32
start devmgmt.msc
The first line just sets the device manager to show items that aren't
currently attached, such as WM devices, etc. The next two lines just open
Device Manager from a command prompt. I actually made this into a batch
file to save myself time.
Once in Device Manager, under View, select Show Hidden Devices
In device manager delete anything that smells like a WM device thing.
You might find Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapters in Network Adapters
You might find Windows Mobile Device and PocketPC under Portable Devices
You might find something under USB devices, but be real careful here. If it
isn't obvious, just leave it. I disabled my wireless keyboard and mouse once
deleting stuff here. Just had to remove and replug in the receiver, but it
was annoying.
(Don't be concerned about the number of other things you see there. If for
example you see your USB camera three times, it just means you probably
plugged into three different USB ports. You might have noticed that some
drivers load if you switch USB ports. That's all that is.)
Then try connecting your device again. You may need to connect, disconnect,
and reconnect. I have had it install drivers the first time and actually
start WMDC the second.
If this doesn't work, try un-installing WMDC and running through the device
driver removal again. Don't re-install WMDC yet. It should go get WMDC after
it loads a driver for a WM device. It might put it in Windows Update after
it sees a WM device driver installed.
Hope it helps. has worked for me once or twice. Once I had to sacrifice a
chicken as well though. (Just kidding, for all you animal rights folks out
there)
For information Vista does not need WMDC to browse a device, or for Media to
sync from Media Player. They built some rudimentary capability to see a
mobile device into Vista to allow some minor file transfer without having to
install a sync client. Not quit the USB drive thing we were all hoping for,
but better than it was. Just pointing this out so you kind of understand
that WMDC does not have to be working to do some things. It is required to
sync PIM items though, as that is its function.
