Unable to connect pda to Vista

HI all,if you can help. I have a new laptop Dell xps 1330 with Vista home. I
have in the past used a HP Ipaq 2200 with MS windows Mobile version 5.0 for
some time previously with XP.
Now however I am dismayed trying to get it to connect with vista.
I have been trying for a few days useing infoe supplied in many user groups.
but still end up with the same problems.

It shows up as device working properly under HP USB Sync
in Mobile Devices
in Device Manager

Does not appear in
Widows Mobility Center

In Windows Mobile Device Center

message shows "waiting to connect"

When doing a uninstall and reinstall

Installing
Message "Device has been successfully installed"
Unidentified Device Searching for preconfigured driver
folders

I have had windows firewall disabled and also am using Norton 360 wich is
also selected disabled, but still no luck. Any ideas
As said have tried countless times some of you have been lucky

spyke

I have the identical problem with a Palm Treo 750 running Win Mobile 6.1
and an HP Pavilion notebook running Vista x64 with SP1 installed.

I have tried everything known to mankind including installing and
uninstalling every driver, component, service, that could have anytjing
to do with the device - all to no avail. It worked fine about three
weeks ago and then just stopped due to no discernable change to my
machine.

I susoect this is a far more widesprad issue but we are each told by
vendors that we are theonly known person on the planetrto have the
problem. If it were not for forums like this we might believe them!

So c'mon Microsoft, Palm, HP - I don't know where the fault lies but
I'm sick to death of being passed to and fro and back agian whenever I
ring for support on this issue!
