Help connecting widows Vista to Compaq 1520

[[email protected]]

Does anyone have a way for Widows Vista in a new laptop to communicate
with a 1520? My Active Synch program does not work.

Thanks

You can tell your Vista program (in setup) to use the old system for
the xp programs

Hi Kurt,

You have to start from basic troubleshooting to find out where is
problem.
This is what I would do first:
1. Disconnect all usb and serial devices exept your pda.
2. In ActiveSync software go to file>connection settings.... select
real phisical connection.
3. Reset your PDA (small push-botton in back[ sometimes software hangs
serial port on PDA itself, therefore pc can't communicate.)]
4. Don't know how you connecting to pc, but make sure there is no com
port sharing problem (like mouse feels funky etc...)

Good Luck.
Rob.

Hi

Activesync has been replaced by "Windows Mobile Device Center(sic)" in
Vista.

It can be downloaded here:-
