Hello,
I've been using Virtual Box running Windows XP for syncing a WinCE device using ActiveSync, this worked fine.
The device is a Zingui communication aid.
However, in Windows 7 with the Windows Mobile Device Centre, I can't make a proper connection.
When I attach the device via USB, the Windows machine detects this and installs the drivers.
The connecion in Windows Mobile Device Centre fails and after a while the device responds with a Winsock error:
"Cannot start communicatinos with the desktop computer. Winsock Services could no start due to a critical error."
It seems that this is an issue of virtual box with win7 as guest OS as:
- virtualbox with WinXP/active sync works properly
- the device connects properly on native win7 machine.
Anyone familiar with this winsock error?
'm running virtual box 4.3.4 with guest additions installed:
