Windows 7

Got a new laptop running Windows 7 64 bit. Has Windows mobile device center built in.

It recognizes my device, but won't sync with Outlook. (It says "syncing" but it doesn't.)

Has anyone else had these problems? I read not to use Activesync with Windows 7 64 bit so I haven't tried.

TIA

is your phone set up to sync using an exchange server or ms myphone?

A few questions. Are you using outlook with an Exchange Server? If yes, you need to configure the server name in the Activesynch icon on thre TP2. This will synch both through the Windows Mobile Device Center. You can also set up your content in the WMDC and configure contacts, notes and calendar options.
Also, make sure that you disable the advanced connections throught the USB port in the connections area. Sometimes that interferes with the synch processes as the machine recognizes your phone as an aditional MODEM.

No, not using exchange server or ms myphone.

This is exactly what's happening to me.

It really sucks if 64 bit syncing isn't going to be supported.

This is just more typical crap that MS is spewing out... They might as well pull exchange of Mobile 7 also... Add only live sync so Google and MS can battle it out over who can data mine there customers for world domination the quickest.

It doesn't work with the 64bit version of Office 2010, or it didn't in the Technical Preview.

Mine works fine (Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Office 2007 and Office 2010 32bit).

The weird thing is that I thought I installed the 32 bit when it asked...

Guess I'll be uninstalling and reinstalling 32 bit...

I'll update the thread later so others may save some effort.
