WMDC & 5.0 Still lost!

After a clean install of Vista Ultimate I downloaded the new Windows Mobile
Device Center, but it will not allow me to sync with my HP Ipaq which is
running
Windows Mobile 5.0. I can view my PDA files but not sync up. I even
uninstalled and re-installed making sure my PDA was connected. I get an
error message "Active Sync encountered a problem on the desktop". Support
code was 0x85010014. I can read my PDA and storage card but need to sync my
contacts. Any helpful ideas? I have posted twice but evidently this one is
a little tough. It seems that I am not the only one having sync problems but
no one seems to know where to find an answer and it gets a little frustrating.
Thanks
Larry

I had this problem until yesterday when I removed the firewall on two
connections that were internal rebooted plugged in my HTC Prophet to charge
and low and behold instead of the sync timing out to an error it synced
properly how its connected to the firewall I don't know but maybe worth a
try

Don,
I don't believe that I have any firewall issues but will certainly check out
your suggestion. My sync doesn't time out ...it just won't start! It is
frustrating that there is no info on troubleshooting or means of getting an
answer. I guess that is part of the joy of upgrading. :-(
Thanks

Feaps,
I Really appreciate the post to my problem. It is the first constructive
suggestion yet but unfortunately I was still not able to sync even after
disabling my firewall. Why can I connect and read files but not sync? Isn't
there a WMDC guru out there somewhere?
Thanks
Larry

Have you checked both firewalls Live OneCare and Windows Vista's? That was
the trick for me. Even when disabling LiveOne Care there was still Vista
messing things up.

Try adding the ports and such.

Hope it helps.

I did not install Live One Care but did disable my Vista firewall. I just
downloaded the optional update for recognizing USB devices but that didn't do
anything either. Maybe I should just load XP Pro back on my second drive. I
have already had to buy another wireless card, video card and scanner...What
an expensive update! I do appreciate your tips and thanks again.
