Vista Tutorial - Dell Axim X51v won't sync?

I'm not sure if this is the right group for this post but it's the one that
seemed closest.

I can't seem to sync my Dell Axim X51v with my Vista Home Premium desktop.
When I put my Dell in its cradle, Vista picks it up just fine. A window opens
prompting me for my password, which I enter. Then an AutoRun window opens
just like if I put in an audio CD or something. The options are to sync
digital media files, open and explore, import pictures and a couple of
Microsoft Office Document Scanning options. That's it. At no point does
anything else open and nothing is syncing. I've opened Windows Mobile Device
Center and the small window that opens only has two options: Allow USB
Connections and Allow Connections to one of the following. That's it. It just
doesn't seem to be doing anything. It never really asked me about setting up
a relationship anything. I really don't know what else to do. Has anyone else
experienced a similar problem or have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Had the exact same problem. Go to
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...icecenter.mspx and follow
instructions for installing Windows Mobile. My Axim syncs' just fine now.

If all that happens is autoplay comes up then you deffinatly need to
dowload windows mobile device center, this is the Vista version of
Active sync, once you dowload mobile device center and put ur PDA into
the sync cradle Mobile device center should open up and allow you to set
up a partnership between the PDA and computer

Also have you tried manually setting up the device, Also since dell Axim
x51v was made in the XP era, you might wont to check to see if you have
the latest updated drivers, to make sure u have this you would go to
contro0l panel unintall program, once this is do you will need to scroll
down to where it says windows mobile device center, there should be to
thing the actual windows Mobile device center and something that says
windows wobile updated drivers, also I had some problems with my Dell
Axim X3 it may help to reinstall WMDC.
