It does work but what I had to do was simply uninstall Windows Mobile Device Center (program carries over but it seems the drivers screwed up) and reinstall to properly reinstall the drivers. Once that was done it was recognized by both WMDC and the Sync Center. You will be able to tell it worked once you reinstall and informs its installed new drivers.

I had to do this due to the fact that I had upgraded vista instead of doing a fresh install of Windows 7 (which carries over all your programs and files!) Seems the drivers for mobile devices were the only things I could see effected so far so a reinstall took care of it. If you did a fresh install have WMDC and are still having issues send feedback to microsoft.

Hopes this helps :)

I have zero problems with my Diamond in Windows 7. Just installed WMDC and away I went.

The Diamond and windows 7 have been flawless as of when i reinstalled everything, It's cool to see a lot of ppc geeks in the Cleveland area. We have another clevelander on ppc geeks who works for the same indirect company as I do selling Alltel and Sprint.

I didn't install anything and it did it for me with no sync errors, I am saying that I didn't install wm device center, it downloaded that and installed drivers, my printer worked the same way. I also loaded wm 7 on my old laptop and it still runs smoothly

Just a quick add. Tethering also works aswell.

With a fresh install of Windows 7 it seems easy for the operating system to instantly find and download the needed drivers (loaded 7 in another laptop) it even displayed a new type of device window which I found nice but limited like the regular sync center. The HTC Modem Driver installation from my disk however didnt seem to fair well though I didnt need it after it found its own drivers. I got the error "This application is for WinXP, Vista(32), Vista(64) only" Which I found interesting since it seems the drivers are still the same.

Also I get a wierd error when trying to use my CD to install WMDC. It appears that with the upgrade the flash needed no longer recognized it even though it flash was installed and working (even with a reinstall) it showed that it needed adobe 8 or higher so be prepared with a connection to the net if you plan on a install/reinstall.

Since Windows 7 is still beta this may just be my copy or my experience with my equipment. Ive been sending feedback to MS like crazy to make this thing worth money. :) hopefully it will be better as I really do like the OS better than Vista (though its seems more of a cool Vista SP then an ACTUAL upgrade as of yet but we will see.)

Hopes this Helps with some questions.
