  1. Press "CTRL + R" to open the run dialogue
  2. Enter "Regedit" and hit "ENTER" or click "OK"
  3. In Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:
    "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software"
  4. Right click on "Microsoft" and add a new "KEY"
  5. In the Value or Name enter "WHOS" and hit "ENTER" or click "OK"
  6. Exit Regedit
  7. Plug your device in via USB, and put your password in to connect it
  8. Go into Windows Update, and "Check for updates"
  9. You should see a new 7.0mb update in ther for windows mobile device center. Download and install this update
  10. After it has installed, restart your machine
  11. After you have restarted, unplug and replug your device in and hey presto, the windows device center.
