Window Mobile Device Center Fail To Install
Jun 30, 2009
I have Vista 64 Home Prem verson, and I had a hard time to install WMDC 6.1 to my computer. When I installed this software, it said fail to install. Then told me to go to C:windowsMobile center and run setup from here. I did what it told me, but I can't get it to install. After this failure installation, I saw Windows Mobile Device Center from Start Program. I cliked on it, and it tried to install the WMDC again, then gave me the same error message. I spend hours and hours to google, but I can't find solution.

I have Windows Vista and when I connect my Hp2795b PDA to the cradle Window Mobile Device Center does not open. I installed the WMDC 6.1 and it still does not open. When I go to the start menu it is not listed there. When I go to the Add/remove programs in the control panel it is not listed there. If I go to WindowsMobile folder in the Windows folder there is a wmdSync.exe that when opened does not open an interface. It does show up in the task manager but only when I manually execute it from the folder that it is in. When I go to the Control Panel there is an Icon for WMDC that when opened pops up a box that asks me to allow USB connections and even says "Device Connected". When I click ok nothing further happens. I can view the device and what is on it in Windows Explorer. But since the
WMDC will not open, I am unable to sync anything.

Vista recognizes my device and I can browse the contents of my device. But it won't sync - When I try to sync it says "There is a problem with your connections. Please disconnect and reconnect your device and try again". I have done that many times in addition to reinstalling the Device Center and rebooting. my ipaq is "ancient" by today's standards - it's OS is Windows CE 4.2 but there is a sticker on it that says Pocket PC 2003 Prem. w/ Outlook 2002 and a serial .

WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center) will not even open up for me.
I double click the icon in the control panel and nothing! I even tried to install the update and still nothing! Vista is crumbling away at my feet. I am having multiple problems and they are ALL Vista related not hardware, anti-virus related, or firewall related. I have a t-mobile wing. It used to sync up fine. But one day WMDC stopped working.
I tried to restore back to a previous restore point and Vista won't let me go back to ANY previous point. Windows Media Center won't let me play live TV either.I have NO more days left on my Vista support. I consider myself an advanced user and NOTHING I've tried has worked.

Everytime i use winrar (trillion times a day). User Account Control reports "an unidentified program wants to access your computer". It's not "unidentified" - I know what it is, i trust it & it's *my* computer - not Microsoft's. How do i tell UAC that? Or is it a Vista fail safe device to only allow the use of Microsoft Software?

OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP2, US, all installed updates. Before SP2 install, Italian Language Pack used to work fine. To install SP2 I had to uninstall Language Pack. After installed SP2 had to wait for additional language packs. Now they are officially released by Microsoft so I tryed to install them. I installed France, Dutch and Lituanian language packs with NO PROBLEM. Italian language pack refuse to install. Now Event Viewer report this error: The Language Pack for it-IT has been disabled. Reason: 0x2000. Event ID: 1002.

I am connecting an external hard drive (Acomdata 250G drive - pretty standard) via USB to my HP laptop running Vista. I am able to see the device listed under Disk Drives in the Device Manager. Drilling into Properties, I see that the device is running properly and, having re-loaded the device drivers, I have the most recent drivers. The issue: I am unable to see the device listed in Window Explorer, and thus I can't drill into the folders to get at the content.

how to I reset the default window size and position of Vista Media Center? I somehow managed to either re-size it or move it off of the reachable portion of the desktop. If I go non-maximized the window shrinks off up towards the top and disappears. If I try and select move or size it takes me to the top of the screen and shows the arrows to move and size, but I cannot find or move / size the window. Is there a way to reset the default window position?

Our main wireless internet connection has stopped working on one of the Dell laptops. It works fine on the other and the Mac. When attempting to connect, a "login dialog" appears where it asks for the user, pass and domain. I remember this happening to both Dells (Vista) when we first got the wireless router and the workaround was to manually create the connection.
I'm not sure what has happened to cause this laptop to stop connecting automatically, but I thought a good fix would be to manually create the connection again. Problem is, when I go to the Network window and click on "Network and Sharing Center" a new window briefly appears then disappears. Why is it doing this & how can I fix it??

You cannot find this trick on MS Help and support but may like it. You can toggle between 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio (normal and wide screen) in Windows Media Center the following way: Keep the Ctrl key pressed on your keyboard. Drag any edge (side and not the corner!) of the Media center window and move the mouse until the aspect ratio changes.

A friend's Vista SP1 PC is failing to install Windows Updates and also some other updates such as those for Itunes. The symptom is that the updates get downloaded but the installation phase never finishes (he's left it for 12 hours!). In the case of the Windows Updates, there are several updates that try to install themselves as the PC is shutdown or even restarted, but the message "Installing 1 of 6" never advances: the only recourse is to switch the PC off.
As I was looking at the PC, I noticed one thing which may have a bearing on this and may even be the cause: the System Restore applet (windowssystem32 strui.exe) fails to run. It displays an initial User Account Control window but the "Restore System Files and Settings - choose a restore point" window never appears. No error message is displayed and there are no entries in any of the Event Log logs.
It occurred to me that if System Restore is buggered, this might prevent any updates working if the first thing they try to do is to create a restore point before installation begins. I can't find any reference to System Restore failing to open its initial Window - I've looked on support.microsoft.com and done a general Google search for "Vista System Restore fails". All the info seems to describe possible problems if you get slightly further and select a restore point which then fails to install properly.

I'm trying to network my new Optiplex 740 with Vista Business (32bit), and Norton 360, to my old Euro PC with W2K Pro. and SystemWorks, using basic Belkin /Realtek cards and yellow ethernet cable. My broadband connection is through my old machine and works perfectly, as does the network card installation.
My new machine also indicates that its card is correctly installed and functioning correctly. BUT the Network and Sharing Center window shows this computer as linked to an Unidentified network and no connection to either the other computer or broadband connection.........

When using Computer Management > Device Manager : Generally speaking is it a good idea to let it automatically search the internet for the latest device driver , download it , and install it? How well does this technology work?

I have Imate mobile which I am trying to connect to my laptop with a USB cable in Windows Vista Home premium. It is not detecting. I have my destop system which is having preinsalled windows vista business version and here it is detecting automatically without installing the imate CD. Is that vista home version is not supporting imate connectivity? I installed the Imate installation CD also but still did not detect in vista home version.

This is my brand new LaCie 320GB Hi-Speed USB2.0 Mobile Disk, which in the present circumstances, is neither hi-speed, nor anything else for that matter, other than an expensive, minimalist Paper-weight;
When I first plugged the unit into a USB port, everything went swimmingly. Auto-play popped up, and the Installation Wizard appeared even before I had a chance to rub the unit, and all went well with the setup until it came time to format the disk.
It is at this point that I became responsible for causing all the problems that I now have with the disk. Too late, I noted that instead of doing a Quick Format, as Mr. Wizard had instructed, I had hit the Full Format instead.
Well, the unit took off faster than Valentino Rossi from the front Grid, as it began to wink, blink and nod at a furious pace, on and on and on. For an hour and a half the poor thing raced like fury until I lost patience with the litte fellow and tried to abort the futile mission.
I tried to Safely Remove Hardware by right clicking the USB icon in my Notification Tray, but naturally Windows would not allow that because the hardware was still in use. This is the description of the Disk as it was running, while I unsuccessfully tried to stop it;
OK. I thought, 'Let's try a hard removal' and I pulled the USB on the disk. A few minutes later, I plugged the unit back in.....nothing, no Auto-play, no Mr. Wizard! So it was off to Start>Computer>Right click on (F) - Drive.... [with the MFC Name???], for this to happen;
So it's click on Format Disk button, and hopefully we're in business;
...and then, with Quick Format checked, I hit the Start button, and the !Warning! fires up;
That's OK, so I hit the OK button. But it's not OK...lots of "Dang!" sounds from the Laptop tell me that all is not well, and then as if by magic, up pops this delightful message, much like an invitation to a Funeral;
So it was back to the (F) - Drive to attempt to rename it and give it all another go. But wouldn't you know it? I need to format it first. See! A prime example of "Catch 22".
So while I'm considering the next move, insult is added to injury when this little number appears;
That's that then, and out comes the USB Plug again, because I still can't Safely Remove Hardware.
Where to now? Is there any hope to restore this reprobate disk to anything that is likely to function as it should? Or is it now just a candidate for disposal on eBay? Maybe I'll put it out of it's misery, and then bury it!

I had been trying to install Norton AntiVirus 2009 15 days trial. When i click on the installation file, the installation will start. The status of the installation will only remain at "Intializing". Approximately 5 seconds later, the installation will stop, no prompt message appear.
Same scenario appears no matter how many times i tried to install.

I have a new Dell and am using a Sprint Mobile Broadband connection and can't access this forum (using my Cox connection now.) It displays that "Internet Explorer Can't Display the Webpage." Do you think that is Sprint's fault or something in my Vista settings causing this. Probably Sprint as I CAN access it using Cox. But I want to make sure before I call them....

I just purchased a Wireless Mobile Laser Mouse 6000 thinking it would be compatabile with Vista 64. After the computer sleeps or hibernates the scroll wheel slows down to a very slow crawl. I have to disconnect the nano receiver wait about 2 minutes and then reconnect.

Can not get my HP 7400 scanner to work after upgrading to Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Not the hardware - works fine under XP pro using same hardware configuration. Did a clean install, installed motherboard BIOS updates, scanner BIOS updates, Vista updates and the correct driver from HP. The scanner installed and Device Manager says device is working properly. When I try to scan, scanner initializes, starts to scan then locks up. Then can no longer be seen. ASUS M2N-E motherboard with AMD dual core. Other than that Vista works OK with the rest of my system

i have installed the correct driver for this belkin bluetooth usb dongle model: F8T012XX1 but in device manager, it has the belkin device and microsoft bluetooth enumerator, which is great. but when u get further down the list. it has a tab named "other devices" and then a subtab with "bluetooth peripheral device" which has an exclemation mark on it. i have searched for driver software using the update service but it cant find no update. i have looked for the name of the manufacturer but found nothing.i then disabled the unknown device, and sent a picture to my mobile phone. which confirmed that it was not the belkin bluetooth device. so i uninstalled the unknown device, restarted the computer. then when i logged in, it said that it had found a new device and wanted me to find the CD that came with it.

I know this is a repetitive topic, but I can not seem to figure this one out. It is a HP Laptop DV9815nr. I do not know much about it as it is not mine, but the problem is the audio was cutting out and now there is nothing. The computer is not recognizing any type of audio device installed. Even in Device Manager, there is no option for Sound, game and controllers. I have tried downloading the driver and installing, but no luck there.

I'm running Home Premium 64 on a Sony Vaio Laptop (CS170F). I'm having a curious problem: Yesterday I plugged into the machine the dongle of my wireless logitech mouse, and for some reason the machine said "Your unknown device is ready to use" (my OS is in spanish, the messages may not be accurately translated). Since then, an annoying message pops every few seconds warning about an "unrecognized USB device", that "didn't work as expected". The best part is this, if I click on the tray icon, sometimes the informative dialog window is emply, an other times shows all the USB ports in the system plus one extra with a "unknown UBS device", even without any device plugged into the system. I've tryed removing the unknown device from the device manager, but it shows up again.

I had been running Vista Ultimate x64 for a few months and recently found that I can only use the original USB mouse?! Installation of any USB mouse would show a new "USB Human Interface Device" in Device Manager but it just won't work. Installation of the very same model of my original mouse didn't work neither. So basically I am stick with the current mouse?

Can anyone explain this: 3219. The screenshot shows the folder view (in Windows Explorer), and a directory listing (in a Command Line window). Why is the Explorer window showing different filenames than the command line window? It's not so much of an issue, as I'm currently completing a scheduled backup of this drive using Nero Burning ROM, and will be formatting it soon.
