Folks,

Finally cracked it!!! ohh how long has this been bugging me.

Basically when I connected my wp7 omnia 7 phone old Zune would complain with

CONNECTION ERROR
Can’t connect to your phone. Disconnect it, restart it, then try connecting again.

2. Go into Certificate manager and delete the ’Zune-tuner’ (named) certificate(s).

3. Re-Open Zune

4. Connect phone.
