Pocket PC 2002 and Vista

Can someone tell me how I can get this to work? Vista tells me that
Windows Mobile does not support Pocket PC 2002 devices, but at one
point I DID see (and use) the pocket pc in Vista. It was there when I
connected it, but then at some point it went away and now it's telling
me it's not supported. Will this thing make up its mind or what?

I can not upgrade my handheld to a newer version, due to the
manufacturer. Am I stuck now with a device I can not use (or an OS
that I wont want to use?)

Thanks

Hello ShutterMan,

Minimum version is pocket pc 2003 that is supported by vista. If you upgrade
it will work fine. I did it last week without any problem.

Best regards

Unfortunately my device can not be upgraded to 2003. As I understand
it, Activesync will not work under vista. Anyone know of an open
source solution to this?

There is none. You can do simple sync (files and etc.) with the tools in
Vista but that's about it.

I have a Dell Axim x50v, running PPC2003, and with Vista Sync Center
installed it works even better than it did under XP.

Hello,


I have an Axim X5 too, and it doesn't work. Under Device Manager I see 2
devices. The first is Dell Axim USB Sync. The second is Windows Mobile
Device. That one is mark with an exclamation mark. When I open the proprties,
it says something like 'The device cannot start, cannot load the device
drivers'. Can anyone please help me?

Thx
