On your phone, it should default to ActiveSync. If not select ActiveSync.

I did it and found it for Vista 32 bit only I have Windows 7-- 64 bit Any suggestions ? I feel like I am hitting roadblock after roadblock. I appreciate everyone's help. Thanks

Original question:

Original need was: Need Microsoft Active Sync 4.5 for Windows 7 (64 bit) on home computer. The disk that came with my new TP2 doesn't work with my OS.

The more I get into this the more confused I'm getting.

It should download automatically as soon as u plug in your phone. Make sure your computer is connected to the internet.

If not..

Tried it & got a box saying:

Device Driver was not successfully installed

unidentified x device
device unplugged

Suggested i go to control panel devices and computer setting and make sure it is checked that microsoft can add drivers which I did and it applied and saved.

Still got same message when I tried again.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks again Dorothy

Hmmm... you shouldn't have had to download WMDC. I got Windows 7 at work and WMDC was on there. I personally hate WMDC, but I won't get into it here...
