You don't want to use ActiveSync with Windows 7, use the WMDC. I have no trouble with my Omnia and 7; in both 7 Enterprise and 7 Home Premium (upgraded from Vista), all I had to do was plug the phone in, and it would detect it then download and install the Device Center.

I posted a message about this and never got a response. I can not get the driver to install when it is connected via usb. But I was able to get it to sync with outlooks contacts using bluetooth connection on my laptop. So far that is the only way it works for me. I have Windows 7 Ultimate edition 32.

Try turning off UAC, then try. If that does not work, turn off your firewall software (including the Windows firewall), then try.

I had a similar problem with Vista a while back and tried everything. I could not get get Vista to detect my phone after a ROM upgrade. Just by accident I turned off Windows firewall and it picked up my phone and installed the driver automatically. After that, I turned on my firewall and everything was fine from then on.

I upgraded to Windows 7 and luckly didn't have any issue. Hope this helps.

this kinda worked...it installed the drivers in both my laptop and desktop, but will only sync when it wants to...i think its mt phone acting strange or this new cable....my laptop also tell me i should you a USB port that is 2.0 for faster transfer....pretty sure there all 2.0 lol, its prob only 2yrs old. anyways thanks, im giving up for the night. and i decided my next phone is going to deff be a android device....had it with windows mobile.
