    i just switched from xp to vista 64. in xp i would use microsofts activesync to sync my sprint pocket pc 6700. in vista activesync is gone and replaced with windows mobile device center. i downloaded the 64 drivers, plugged in my phone and it installed windows mobile device center 6.1. this worked for about an hr then i looked and i didn't see the windows mobile device center icon any more. when i clicked the shortcut nothing happened. now im stuck. i uninstalled it re installed it nothing works. whenever i plug in my phone in device manager all it shows up as is a modem. usually i should see it under my computer since it has a 1 gig storage card but i dont see anything. does anybody know whats wrong?

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    searched the microsoft thread and apparently alot of people have been having this problem it must have been an update that affected it because everyone got it at the same time.

    here was the solution

    command prompt and typed:

    net localgroup Administrators LocalService /add

    thanks to DBrown58888 on the microsoft forums heres the thread
