Running windows Vista

[andre2you]

Is anyone running Windows Vista and is able to connect their A1200 via USB? I cannot get either Mobile phone tools, Radio Comm or PK2 to recognise my A1200.

hiya, im running vista too. had the problem with not recognizing the phone. soo i googled it up and well it lead me to "v3c" drivers. i used those drivers when vista asked for them and then bingo bango. it worked. btw u have to run MPT in windows 2000 compatible mode.

None of they work with Vista, even Motorola Phone Tools won't work, it looks like the driver from Motorola it is not compatible with Vista.

glad to hear that, yeah i love my A1200 too. lol

going a little off topic, wanted to know if ur able to run .avi videos properly on vista or java apps? like does your vista automatically change the user interface from areo to a non areo style?

I have no problems running .avi's My areo interface does not change though I still can't get MPT to recognoize my A1200 but RadioComm now works. It's not a problem for me since I have two other computers that are running XP and have no issues with MPT.
