Folks...OK, I have tried a couple of your ideas and I have discovered that I can not read my own handwritting ( :-( ), so part of my original post is incorrect. I have corrected that and updated as per the suggestions: 1) for the Axim X30 (OS Window Mobile 2003 2nd Edition), it shows up in the "Printers and Devices" as an "unspecified Device" / "Dell Axim USB Sync" AND in the "Device Manager" under "Mobile Devices" as a "Dell Axim USB Sync" 2) for the Acer N300 (OS Windows Mobile 5 (OS 5.1.195 Build 14292.2.2.1)), it shows up in the "Printers and Devices" as a "Generic RNDIS" AND in the "Device Manager" as a "Network Adapter" identified as "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" AND on the PDA, Acrive Sync shows Connected. 3) and finally for our Mia P550 DigiWalker PDA/GPS (OS Windows Mobile 5 (OS 5.1.195 Build 14292.2.2.1)), it shows up in the "Printers and Devices" as a "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #2" AND in the "Device Manager" as a "Network Adapter" identified as "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #2" AND on the PDA it complained about needed ActiveSync 4.1 or higher on the PC None of the devices has ever shown "Connected" for the Mobile Device Manger in Windows 7 Removing and reinatalling the USB devices/drivers via the Device Manager and rebooting had no effect Any more ideas?......RDK "Frankster" <frank(a)SPAM2TRASH.com> wrote in message news:O-Wdnbw_MOWlNgrWnZ2dnUVZ_tGdnZ2d(a)giganews.com... > You almost certainly need Vista/Win7 drivers for your devices.
