- TCP Ports required for ActiveSync & WMDC

To get a working ActiveSync (or Windows Mobile Device Center on Vista) connection, you need to open some ports in your firewall. Some firewalls like Eset SmartSecurity have auto-discovery mode or interactive mode, but that doesn’t always work out okay.
The easiest and most reliable way is to open these TCP ports manually in your firewall:
- 990 (RAPI)
- 999 (Status)
- 5721 (DTPT)
- 5678 (Legacy Replication)
- 5679 (Handshake & Legacy Replication)
- 26675 (Airsync)

- ATI Catalyst Install Manager has stopped working

This problem has bugged me for a while: when installing AMD/ATI Catalyst drivers (version 7.8, 7.9, 7.10 and who knows the new 7.11), everything goes fine until you click the Install or Uninstall button:
You are then greeted with the message Catalyst Install Manager has stopped working. Apparently this has something to do with the VS2005 C++ redistributables, but that shouldn’t be our problem.
The fix is quite easy:
- open a CMD-box with administrative privileges
- go to your ATI drivers, probably in a location similar to this one:
C:\ATI\SUPPORT\8-10_vista32_dd_ccc_wdm_emu_69564\ - then go to the BIN (or BIN64 for Vista64) folder underneath
- type this command:
atisetup.exe -Install -Output screen
If all goes well the drivers will then install successfully. Do not forget to reboot your machine after installation!
Good luck!Labels: AMD, ATI, Catalyst, crash, driver, drivers, fix, install, installation, installer, solution, Windows, Windows Vista, XP
