I love my phone, yet there are a few issues I thought I was able to fix namely the message stamp error or the sync issue so far all attempts failed. I downloaded both _HTC Dream (Rogers)_RUU_Dream_Rogers_WWE_1.86.631.1_release_signed_NoDriver the bios fix and the sync software _HTC Dream (Rogers)_HTCSync each has there own issues and errors but its based on the fact HTC can't see past 32 bit software when the world is 64 bit pains me. I refuse to degrade my system to Windows 7 32 bit and will live with my phone until HTC comes to thier scenses. If you have a fix please let me know.

I use windows 7/ 64, and it was quite a challenge to get it to work.
1. search for the 64 bit drivers for your phone. (I used the Hero version even though I have a Magic, so your Dream shouldn't be a problem).
2. install the drivers manually, into the right directory, before installing HTC Sync.
