No Outlook on Vista - Treo Forums

jlhogs · 05-19-2008, 12:52 PM

I looked through the forum before deciding to post. I understand that I can't sync my new 750 to my laptop that has vista home premium. So in laymans terms does that mean that I have to enter everything manually and never be able to sync?
Thank you in advance, I am computer and smartphone illiterate.

You should have no problems syncing.

XP machines use ActiveSync, while Vista machines use WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center). You can download a free copy here:

As for Outlook, take a good look on the CD that came with your Treo. Although it may not show on the autorun menus, there should be a copy of Outlook on the CD.

My 750 syncs happily on Vista (probably better then the clunky ActiveSync on XP).

You should see my thread about the CD I got sent (which only has a trial version of outlook 2007 on it). It won't run on an XP machine, but will run on Vista...
