Yes - unfortunately - have tried re-installing everything (except Win 8) :upset:

As I mentioned earlier, the phone does show up in Device Manager under both Mobile and Portable devices - but MDC does not launch. But here's the weird thing. I use Thunderbird/Lightning for my e-mail/calendar, and for syncing those with the phone I have a program called Birdiesync which I had...

Thanks Bass. No software for HTC installed (never ws on Win7 either), and no drivers should be needed other than MS ones. Thanks for trying to help anyway.

Aha - When I look in Autoplay there are no devices listed. Even though the phone is connected and syncing in a manually launched MDC and it shows up in Device Manager under Portable Devices as well as Mobile Devices. So I am totally stumped.

It was a clean install.

Thanks for the input Mitchell. I did try that, with no benefit. I'm not sure that it is the MDC that is at fault though - it launches and functions as it should if started manually. I think it may be something to do with the OS. Win8 recognises that a usb device is plugged in, but does not auto...

Thanks for the input bass - I have looked in various phone forums with no luck finding any answers. I am dubious about it being a phone problem though - because it worked fine with Windows Vista and Windows 7 - it only stopped when I installed Windows 8. Further, the syncing works (as does file...

Sorry Saltgrass - have been away from the PC for a while - ill health!! Anyway, I tired everything to no avail. Nothing happens when I plug in the phone, and even if I right click the device in sync center and try to open Mobile Device Centre nothing happens. I have to manually open Mobile...

I have an HTC touch Diamond phone running Windows Mobile 6.5. I tried to Sync it with Windows 8 the other day for the first time since installing Win8. When I connected the phone to the laptop (USB) the first time WMDC opened the setup window then after configuring the options I was able to...

Possibly - I thought I would see if anyone else had had similar problems caused by Windows 7 before going further down that route. This one is a later model than the one I returned, and has a manufacture date of Jan 2012 on it on a new label, and the drive is in pristine condition - although...

I am running Win7 32bit Professional on an Acer 8930 notebook. I have various USB storage solutions - including a 32MB flash stick and 2 usb external drives with 320mb drives - all of which work with no problem. I also have a media player which uses an internal 2GB Western Digital hard drive...
