No joy. I did not perform a hard reset of the device, presumably wiping out all data. As for the device operating system. Windows Mobile 5. Cingular did invite me to upgrade the device to WM6. I did download WM6 but as their documentation for that upgrade indicated that it was a "one-way" trip from WM5 to WM6 and that not all devices would work with WM6, I elected not to perform the upgrade. As I use this device as my primary phone for my IT business, their notes did not give me warm fuzzies on the success of the upgrade. At the time, as now, the device is working fine and syncing fine with my XP desktop. This is not a mandatory change for continued functionality. My Cingular (AT&T) contract is in the last 3 or 4 months so I would be eligible for device upgrade with contract renewal almost anytime. However, I like the device well enough that I would be willing to not spend the money to upgrade a device if I don't need to.

There is a note of what OS versions will and will not work in the documentation I was referring to. Our device was too old to and did not have all the necessary software to make it work it was a 5+ year old PDA. It was also not upgradable. You are right though Len never implied that he had tried a reset of both my bad. Jon On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 1:45 PM, Rod Trent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Have you tried resetting the device itself? That helps sometimes. From: Jon Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 1:40 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: smart phone sync with Vista I have found that it depends a lot on what OS the mobile device is running if you will get a connection or not. I am not the brightest bulb but I ended up having to replace the mobile device because of that issue. Some OS's just plain will not connect. The Mobile device center also needed a download from Microsoft just to get it to work as well but that is documented on the Vista site some place.

I have been syncing my Cingular (HTC) 8525 with both my dek computer and my XP laptop for a couple of years. Only have the occasional time when the connections is not made. usually fixed by rebooting both devices. Anyway, the real question is how do I get this same phone to talk with Vista. I have the Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista installed. The device makes contact with the laptop and charges and says that it installs the software but remains "unidentified" as a device. WMDC also makes no connection with the 8525. So far the googling I have done has not yielded an answer; just more questions. Ayone have a process that works to make these two devices talk?
