I re-installed my windows 7, and installed all software needed for my work (that is MS Visual Studio and stuff).

My problem is with WMDC (Windows Mobile Device center). Though before formatting it ran smoothly, now it doesn't seem to start :( I plug my Intermec Pocket PC and while Mobile Adapter is enabled, wmdc doesn't pop-up the usual green window. I installed version 6.1. I tried disabling firewalls and antivirus with no success. I uninstalled it and re-installed it but with no luck.

even if I start it manually it seems to start and end immediately. Event viewer says:

Failed to start the Windows Mobile-2003-based device connectivity service due to Rapimgr(0x80004002) failure (see data for failure code).

any help on this? Thanks

A: 

I ran into a similar issue where WMDC would pop up, but Visual Studio refused to connect to an attached device for remote debugging.

After searching the internet, trying a re-install, and removing device drivers, I did a system restore to a week prior and the issue was resolved.

I still have no idea what changed in my system to cause the issue. Just one of the mysteries of ActiveSync/WMDC.
