If you’re upgrading to Windows 7 RC on your computer (instead of the recommended “start from scratch and migrate data and apps”) you may find that your Windows Mobile device will no longer connect after the upgrade.  This was a reported problem during Windows 7 beta, but it looks like the issue still exists in the RC of Windows 7.

To fix the problem…

1. Disconnect your device for your PC.
2. From the Start Menu open the Control Panel.
3. Select Hardware and Sound and then Device Manager.
4. Connect your device to you PC.  The associated driver will show up (appear before your eyes) under Network adapter.
5. Right-click on the driver and select Uninstall.
6. After the driver uninstalls, disconnect your device.
7. After about 5 seconds, reconnect your device and WMDC will now recognize your device and the driver installation will be successful.

Beta 1 is available for download from the following link:

Ever have Exchange remote connectivity problems that you just couldn’t diagnose – particularly for Windows Mobile devices?

I’m not sure how long this site has been up, but Microsoft has a beta site that allows you to enter remote information for your Exchange implementation, and it will try to connect and diagnose the situation.  This really saved me some time today, after I just happened onto it.

Check it out:

Microsoft Exchange Server Remote Connectivity Analyzer

If it finds problems with your remote connectivity, it will show you the steps in the process and flag the step that failed.  Then, it will give you a link to a page that tells you how to fix the issue.

The complaints about Windows Mobile have been mostly about user interface. Windows Mobile looks simply pedestrian relative to the latest mobile operating systems from Apple, Palm, Android and Research in Motion. But the latest news on Microsoft’s cloud plans raise an interesting question: Would you trade aesthetics for some cloud functionality?
