ActiveSync acts as the gateway between your Windows-powered PC and your Windows Mobile device. It allows you to synchronize Microsoft Outlook information, Microsoft Office documents, pictures, music, videos, and applications to and from your device. Open ActiveSync on your computer. Click File, and then click Connection Settings. Verify that the This computer is connected to drop-down list box is set to Automatic.

Make sure that Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) is installed if you are using Windows Vista. Open WMDC on your computer. Click Mobile Device Settings, and then click Change Connection Settings. Verify that the This computer is connected to list is set to Automatic.

Thanks for sharing this useful mate. As i am also a Windows Mobile user, i was also in search of this tip to update my Windows Mobile. But, as you said it requires ActiveSync, i wanted to tell you that neither i have ActiveSync nor Windows System. I am a user. So is there any other way i can download Windows Mobile update for my device ? Please help.
