Windows Vista Vista and syncing

[plodkiller]

I now have a dual boot system, XP Pro and Vista beta 2 64 bit. Both seem to be working well except Vista didn't like my soundblaster live card. The only big problem I have is I am unable to sync my Toshiba E740 pda. It shows up in the device manager but not in the sync centre. The windows mobiloe device centre keeps shutting down for an unknown reason

Any ideas?

Thanks
