Pocket pc will no longer connect to windows mobile center Tony 06-30-2008

Hi my IPAQ pocket PC has suddenly (after 3 months of being fine) stopped
connecting to my pc. It shows up OK in device manager but doesn't appear in
either sync center or windows mobile center. I have tried all the usual
(removed/reinstalled device, mobile center etc) turned off all firewalls and
security. It will just not show up. Nothing has changed since last week when
it did show, (no new software, hardware etc). So now i have an out of date
(ie useless) PPC. Mobile center is version 6.1 (latest I believe) on Vista.

REALLY grateful to anybody who can fix this problem.
regards
Tony

Hi Tony,

Couple of things you could try. The first would be to try and see if a soft
reset helps solve your issue. If it doesn't on your PC, go under Control
Panel -> Programs and Features select WMDC and run a repair and then attempt
a sync.

Thanks for yopur response Raj. I tried your suggestions but it made no
difference.
The frustrating thing is that last week it connected first time, every time
- now nothing.

If this is a newer (WM5/6) PPC, try going to
Start/Settings/Connections(Tab)/USB-to-PC and disabling the "Enable Advanced
Network Functionality" checkbox, and then try to sync.

Thanks for the reply Todd, but no, unfortunately I don't have that facility
on my ppc. it's probably about 3 years old and has 'windows mobile version
5.0' onit
