Guest BLADESMAN1 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Hi guys, Ive just got my new laptop, a Sony Vaio running Windows 7 x64 & want to hook up to copy files & back-up data ect. I had no probs on my old XP but i'm a little confused about exactly what to do as i dont have the disk that came with the phone. I do have USB cable however do i need to download & install Active Sync or WMDC ? Or is this built into Windows 7 ? I have tried to connect them allready & the Vaio 'found device' but the error message came up advising me to 'troubleshoot' but found nothing. Is this because i need Act Sync or WMDC ? I appologise for the really basic lack of knoledge here but this is the 1st 'real' working pc ive ever had/owned. thanx in advance. Ben.
Guest BLADESMAN1 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Update: So after several new tries the troubleshooter detected that a driver was 'missing' & once installed WMDC auto installed. As yet i have not managed to sync as Sync Centre has failed to detect my device. Will keep on trying & post if i succeed - or not !

Hi Ben, think you answered your own question, my laptop i installed Win 7 x64, and also installed WMDC and act Sync, and my Omnia connected without any dramas, hope that helps Peter
Guest BLADESMAN1 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Hi Peter, thanx for reply, i still havent managed to get the 2 to Sync yet. do i need to install Active Sync as well ? i thought that WMDC was a newer replacement ?
