Synchronizing Windows Mobile with Vista – Windows Mobile Device Center

the instructions also specify deleting earlier versions, but I did not see any when I looked in "Add & Remove Programs". I just got my Q yesterday, and synced all of my contacts, calendar, & tasks with no problems...

it also allowed me to transfer music via Windows Media sync, but I have yet to figure out how to use them as a ring tone.

This was done on Vista Ultimate 64 bit (which seems to be incompatible with damn near everything), and Outlook 2007.

There's no respect for 64-bit Windows. I think that's a shame.

I put the one the one mp3 file that I wanted for a ringtone in \My Documents.

You saved me lots of frustration, Thanks!

I did go and download the Microsoft Mobile Center latest version and installed it on my brand new Vista Notebook - which already had an older version which would not recognize my Q.

Now all things Outlook and Q are syncronizing perfectly.

Once again, Thanks for the tip.

Hi all... in the same discussion, where can I look for my Calendar & Contacts after the sync up in VISTA?? I do not have Outlook and Outlook express has been discontinued ////

ActiveSync requires the full Outlook.

i got as far as downloading the device center. then when I went to continue it tells me I need outlook. If i understand u correctly I have to have outlook or its a no go. I've never used outlook. I use AOL. Shoot I'm having a hard time figuring this site out. i guess I'm just beat to death with this today.
