WMDC says "not connected" in the bottom left.

Because of this I'm wondering if it'll cause an issue while flashing?

Office X64 working with WMDC is a known issue. It has been ongoing since the alpha release that I used. The only way to get it to sync is to uninstall office 2010 x64 and install the 32bit version.

I just uninstalled WMDC, restarted and reinstalled and got the error: "Device driver software was not successfully installed" with no other info. If I go to device manager though, there's no question marks and all devices appear to have been connected fine. I can view the mSDHC card though, but not the phone's on-board memory.

I'm wondering if since I open WMDC and it says 'not connected' would this cause an issue if I try running the Hard SPL Unlocker?

So, I'm just wondering, how can I safely flash my phone?

NB 1: I tried starting Windows 7 with the ignore device signing option or whatever it's called, doesn't help.

NB 2: I saw some other user had to enable some C item in his bios for his P55 chipset. I have a P45-DS3R tough and double checked that the option wasn't in my bios. Also, my old TP connected fine but I think that was before I had Office 2010 x64.

Ok real quick i have windows 7 running windows 64 bit and using a version of wmdc 64bit that you can get from microsoft. the only thing using 2007. i have no errors and i flash my phone like a mutha F***** lololololololol

Ok, well I tried it and got the error where it asks me to download:

and then try again. It said I had to have active sync running. At least it didn't **** up my phone! Perhaps I should try it on my work computer with XP.
