Follow these steps before installing drivers, JAL, and/or RSS programs...

Unistall all IDEN programs (JAL, Drivers, and/or RSS)
Reboot Computer
Find the setup.exe file for what ever program you are installing
Right click on the setup.exe file
Select Properties
Click the Compatibility tab
Check "Run this program in compatibility..."
Select WinXP SP2 from the drop down box
Click OK
Run the setup.exe file
Install program normally
Allow Vista to install any drivers that states has not been tested
Attach your phone to the USB cable
Windows will look for the drivers for it and most likely you will get this at the end.

Follow the steps below to properly install the driver

Go to Device Manager
Right click on Motorola USB Modem
Select Update Driver Software

Select "Browse my computer for driver software"

Select "Let me pick from a list of devices drivers on my computer"

Click "Have Disk"

Click "Browse" and browse to C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\MOTOROLA SHARED\MOTPCSDRIVERS\USB MODEM

Click "OK"

Under "Manufacturer" select Motorola
Under "Models" Select the first driver listed
Click Next and Vista will install your drivers.

Run your Jal program and Vista will switch the driver to a P2K Device. If it does not follow the same steps as for the Motorola USB Modem but select the P2k Device to update driver software and you may have to select Flash Interface Device as the hardware. The Motorola P2K device should be installed properly unless you did not follow the above steps.

Any RSS Program will not work with Vista and this will only work with WebJAL or the other JAL...

LAST STEP
Run Regedit
Goto...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Motorola
For LabJAL
Expand Motorola folder
Expand LabJAL folder
Click on Options folder
If D-Word value "Use USB" is not present then add it
Set Value to 1
If it is present then just set to 1
For RSS Programs the D-Word value is "USB Port" and it is found in the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Motorola\iDEN\RSS\Carri er\(App Name)\Configuration
Key

Note:
When you first plug in your phone in the Device manager it might be a blank device with no name.

In most cases yes, but there are some vista users that do not update, there for they cannot use any moto software. i have seen on plenty of forums of people complaining that they cannot use webjal/myjal etc due to the drivers.
