Sync Center won't sync to Windows Mobile PDA/cell phone

[Bruce Wilkinson]

I have a Cingular 8125 cell phone, PDA that used to sync fine under Windows
XP and ActiveSync. Now, on Vista, when I open the Sync Center, it doesn't
detect the phone, even though the phone detects the laptop.

Can anyone help?

Hello Bruce,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

Based on my knowledge, you may use Windows Mobile Device Center to set up
new partnerships, synchronize content and manage music, pictures and video
with Windows Mobile powered devices (Windows Mobile 2003 or later). The
Windows Mobile Device Center is only supported on Windows Vista. For more
information about usage and driver, please refer to he following links:

Can anyone give me an idea of what might be wrong?

You need Windows Mobile Device Center, which replaces Active
Sync.
