Omnia + Windows 7 64bit Problem
 

So I installed Windows 7 64bit a few days ago and I really like it. I haven't had any problems with any games or programs until now. I installed the Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 from the Microsoft website. I installed the Omnia modem driver and rebooted. Plugged my Omnia in and it connects and syncs but when I try to un-check "Allow USB Connections" it lets me un-check it and then hit ok and just for a quick second a command promt box comes up and goes away and then all is done. Well when I go back into the connection settings and check to make sure its still un-check it's not. Its back to checked again... doesn't matter what I do... reboot, reinstall WMDC... it just keeps checking itself back. Any ideas?

Are you running as an administrator? You should be asked to authorize the change by a security popup.

Re: Omnia + Windows 7 64bit Problem
 

yea try running as admin bc i use windows 7 64bit and have no problems at all

Re: Omnia + Windows 7 64bit Problem
 

Yeah I believe I am... I'll double check but I am pretty sure I set it all up that way...

Re: Omnia + Windows 7 64bit Problem
 

Well I am defiantly running as an Administrator. I don't get this... I took "control" over all the files in my C: drive. I don't understand what could be going on here... really starting to piss me off though.

Re: Omnia + Windows 7 64bit Problem
 

Have you made any changes to the User Account Control (UAC) settings? When I change it, the screen goes all dark and asks me if I initiated this change, before it goes through with it... I'm using Windows 7, but it's 32 bit. After the UAC popup, it changes it fine...

Good luck

Re: Omnia + Windows 7 64bit Problem
 

Yeah, I disabled UAC all together... hate that crap!

Re: Omnia + Windows 7 64bit Problem
 

Well, re-enable it and see if this is your issue.

I am trying to download the VZ Access Manager onto my laptop, and I have been told by samsung that there are no drivers available for Omnia II to make it talk to Windows 7 (the OS on my laptop). I can therefore never sync with my laptop or use the VZ Access Manager. After talking to HP, Verizon, Microsoft etc for hours, the only suggestions that they have are that I downgrade my laptop OS to Vista or XP by buying the disk, or that I wait until Samsung makes the new drivers available.

What the ________????!!!!
