Activesync and Vista

Devilish · #1 (**permalink**) 12-27-2008, 06:53 PM

Hello Everyone, Is anyone here running the Activesync on a laptop Vista operating system? I tried to download it on my new Dell laptop that came with the Vista OS, but I am not able to install the software on my new laptop. I am getting a message saying it is not compatible with vista. I am trying to download the Activesync 4.5 from microsoft website.

Any idea what is wrong here? Thanks for your help.

Guys - Vista DOES NOT use activesync 4.5 - It uses Mobile Device Center.

Imaginos is correct you dl Mobile Device Center...But Activesync does work it just syncs through MDC...

Thanks everyone. Here is another question for you all.
If I use Mobile Device Center on my laptop that runs Vista does this sync everything with my outlook? Also if it does can I still sync all my data with my desktop in my office that runs XP Pro using Activsync? Sorry for so many questios.

Thanks again.
