1.6.2 hangs under Vista...

[Frallan]

...when I remove the USB while MPE is connected.
Vista can't shut down the program, it's just ghosted/waiting...

W880i...

Less information...
Do you disconnect the cable instantly after a file-transfer or filbrowser-action ?

Very strange, it's happened 2 times today and now I can't reproduce it.

Anyway, I wasn't doing anything, I had only moved some pictures to my computer and then I left my computer for a while with the phone plugged in. When I came back I removed the phone and MPE locked...

This has been an issue I think I brought it up before.

Previously in XP, it's fine that we d/c the cable even when connected in MPE. But then in Vista, you have to manually d/c MPE, before plugging out the cable. If not it will just hang there, and you are to do a force restart as the Windows Restart will just hang there too tyring to close MPE which cannot be done.

Is that correct Frallan?

[Frallan]

Exactly, I have to shut it down by pushing the power off for 4 secs.

You face the same problem as me. I have address this issue before but FJ cannot recreate the problem that I face. He told me to Untick Stable Connection option but it make things very not convinence for me.

So I had to live with the fact that I have to always manually Connect/Disconnect the phone to MPE (F1 shortcut key) before plugging out the cable or even answering a phone call.

My issue is not completely the same.. but it's still a vista issue.

When my computer goes into suspend mode (it's named different in vista.. a short explenation: it saveut ts the current progress in the memory and keeps that powered) and I put him back in turned-on-mode.. MPE get's stuck...
If I try 'end task', MPE still remains 'alive' but when I go to suspend again, MPE closes itself...

Sucky vista, I want XP back! but no drivers for my laptop....

Vista sux? err i disagree.

Jsut that FJ didn't make MPE very compatiable with Vista.
