WM5 and Windows 7 - Windows Mobile Software Development

So, we have to replace our desktop, and we picked up a new one running windows 7. Is it true that WM5 will not work with Windows 7's Mobile Device Center program?
If so, is there any backwards compatible program or tweek that we can do to still let WM5 sync with our outlook on Windows 7?

almost 70 views, and no help? Theres gotta be someone out there that can help! I am just trying to cut down on the surprises before we fully activate the new system, and explain to the wife why her iPaq wont sync, or have the correction when it does happen!

Sorry, I dont think there will be backwards compadability for WinMo 5..
I think its so old it might be time for an upgrade

One possible option i've used is running Windows XP in a VM (VMWare in my case) and syncing to Windows XP/Office that way.

Well, turns out whoever told me that was wrong. The system recognized and synced up our iPaq's just fine. So thanks for the help guys, but turns out Windows 7 Mobile Device Center recognizes WM5!

WM5 with Windows 2000 Professional

Hi All,
A quick question to those who know..
I'm considering updating to the WM5 ROM we have on wiki. The PC I have at home is XP SP2 with Active-Sync 4 which works lovely with my MDA3 1.40.00 ROM..
Trouble is, my Work PC uses Windows 2000 Professional and guess what, this is the PC I need to Sync to..
I think I already know the answer but well I, if I install Active-Sync 4 on my Windows 2000 Professional, will I be able to Sync my Calendar, etc..
Many thanks to you all..

You need to modify your active sync configuration for WM 6 to sync in vista or install the new WMDC.

i780 with official PMSHL1, activesync with SecurID broken

Hi there,
A post in desperation for some assistance.....
Our company has 15 x i780s with ROM MSHE2. They all work with activesync and securID to collect mail from our Exchange 2003 server.
I recently purchased an additional 5 x i780s that came with PMSHL1 out of the box. These seem to have Windows Mobile 6.1 instead of Windows Mobile 6 as the older ones have.
This difference is causing the problem. When activesync is started, the SecurID screen prompts for credentials, but then nothing happens. Sometimes the SecurID screen is re-displayed, sometimes not - but the activesync never gets going for some reason.
Can anyone identify what changes microsoft have made in order that I can try to diagnose this problem? RSA (SecurID) have simply said that they haven't tested with wm6.1 and therefore they won't help.
I guess a solution could be to downlgrade the new phones if that's possible?
Many thanks for any comments!

(SOLVED)..... yee ha.... TP2 will not sync with windows 7

My TP2 will not sync with my note book with any rom but energy rom 28014 17th dec 2009. or DA_g rom 28205 30th dec 2009.
i have tried all the tricks, remove the Windows Mobile Device Ctr, re load Windows Mobile Device Ctr...
hard rest my device...
i can get connected to my notebook, however the sync never start... if i force it from pda or PC it will try for a long time and then error...
can some one help me out please...
solved i changed back the the older radio..
i have windows 7 ultimate 64 and i had to download the new drivers. then it worked fine.
sync works for me on 2 different win7 machines. you might have a firewall issue.
I can confirm that the issue is not Windows 7. I use two different computers with Windows 7 32-bit. (One is an Apple Macbook Pro). There could be a lot of reasons for your lack of connection. Did you reboot yet?. Do you have another machine to test the sync just to narrow it down to the device versus the computer?
When you "tried all the tricks" did that include the USB-to-PC settings on the phone?
Settings>Connections>USB-to-PC then un-check "Ask me about USB connection" and maybe (can't hurt) un-check "Enable faster data connection"?
These are well-known (and not always necessary), but just thought I'd mention them anyway.
guys it sync with one.. eh two roms but the rest it do not do anything, PDA is connected to the PC but do not sync at all.. rebood, hard reset, remove partnerships.... i have even stopped all the other startup services on my PC....
sounds crazy... but its happening... only energy 17th dec and da_g 5th jan roms are working....
i have fleshed the roms few times each... last thing i will do is to reload my windoas 7 as my notebook its upgrade OS so need to load the vista first and then windaows 7...
yee ha.... i changed my radio to 4.49.25.17 and all my issues with sync were gone.... i am syncing energy rom with my PC right now.... took me 2 over weeks but at last.....

Interesting...USB connectivity is part of the radio package? Can anybody confirm/refute that?
