HP iPAQ 4150 battles Vista -- HELP




By ginchereauj on Nov 29, 2007

" "
I recently purchased a new laptop which has Vista installed. I have an HP iPAQ 4150 that I had not used for a while because I was using company computer (at home) with Blackberry. The manual has been misplaced so I have no reference for installing the PPC to my new laptop, which means I need HELP. I haven't the foggiest idea on how to start. I did try some research and have heard of folks who are able to use this model with their VISTA OS. I have gone to Microsoft and downloaded the latest version of the WMDC. However, I am still unable to sync. My PPC Com Ports show up as 8 and 6 and I cannot find a way to change them. VISTA bluetooth is set to 5 and 4. Don't know if I need to find a way to change them. Or if I even should. Do I set up a partnership? If, so How? My laptop is connected to a wireless network so should I be setting up a Proxy? VPN? (Don't know enough about them to to know if I do that). Can someone please give me some information and hopefully easy to follow step by step directions. I am getting so frustrated!!!!!!

I have same problem as the original poster - it's not activesync that is not compatable, it's the fact that the HP 4150 runs windows ce v4.20 and THAT isn't compatible with the Vista sync. It doesn't work and the MS documentation says it's not compatible.

I need to resolve this exact issue too so other suggestions and/or solutions are VERY welcomed. -   launcher

the Active Sync program on the HP's is not compatible with Vista. I solved this problem with my 3715 by downloading a program called Easy Sync from Handango. It works like a charm, every time. Good luck

The Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center requires that the first sync be made via the USB sync cable. After the h4150 is plugged into the Vista machine, the WMDC opens and prompts you through setting up a partnership. Then you can set the h4150 to sync via Bluetooth.

ActiveSync works fine with Vista. Ignore that other guys post.
