Guest BLADESMAN1 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BLADESMAN1 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
