Windows Mobile Device Center - Not Working

[cindra]

Just for shits and grins, try disabling the User Account Control under Users in Control Panel, and reboot.

I had a lot of programs that would not run until I turned that off, then magically everything seemed to work. If it doesn't make a difference, you can turn it back on easily at the same place.

Well, that's all I can contribute! Sorry. Did you try with it on?

[ajskhan]

I couldn't get WMDC to work for days (it kept showing not connected even though the phone was being charged when I plug in the USB cable), and I kept thinking it was a problem with my Windows Vista. I even uninstall and install WMDC and drivers several times but of no use.

However, fumbled on this and now it works perfect! It was a setting on the phone. Go to Settings > Connections > USB Device Type and change it to Activesync Serial. It's just that!

See if it works for you.

So I have Windows Vista Business SP1 (didn't work before SP1 anyway...), a Q9c from sprint.

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall WMDC, didn't do anything. My phone gets charged when the USB is in, but I don't get any response from my PC at all. No WMDC pops up, no USB driver trying to be installed, nothing: doesn't even show in windows Explorer.

I know the phone is not a problem, because I can plug it into other computers fine. I cannot even start WMDC when nothing is plugged in... It simply doesn't open! I really need help with this... I've got nothing. Do I need to uninstall, reinstall some driver? But what about my WMDC not opening even without a phone plugged in? Any ideas?
