windows mobile device center - connection troubles

I think that you can help me. I installed the wmdc and connected my pda,
but when the connection is established, my notebook doesen't show the
green dialogue you can see here:
'http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...icecenter.mspx'
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...icecenter.mspx)
I got a simple windows dialogue "automatic ...." with the general
options to open a explorer window, play a dvd, ..... and so on.

what went wrong, that I dindn't get the beautiful green window.

wenn I click on the device center button in the "systemsteuerung" I get
a little box, wher ein only have the possibity betwee usb and
blutetooth.

when I tried to install a program for the pda via this connection, an
error message told me, that windows mobile device center ist not
installed correctly. and really, shortly before installation is through,
it "runs back" .... nevertheless a wmdc control box shows an active
connection ... I use the original microsoft installation file, have a
fully updated vista, downloaded the drvupdate-x86.exe from microsoft for
many times to exclude corrupted download files .... do anyone have the
same problems or could help me solve it.

Make sure you have the latest version of Mobile Device Center version 6.1
installed.

now I know: the installation process failes, but without prompting an
specific error message. shortly before installation is complete (last
milimeter of progress bar), the installation progress goes backward an
deletes all, what was installed before.

the latest file I got from the microsoft page with the header windows
mobile device center 6.1 is the driveupdate-x86.exe with version
6.0.5824.16387.
is this the latest one? if not: where do I get the latest one?

do anyone have/had the same probleme and/or knows, how to solve it?

if I try to install active sync 4.5, I got the message "this
application cannot be installed unter vista". if I try to install 4.2 I
got the message "this program was blocked due to compatibility problems"
......:biggrin: so I can't try to update after installation ....
