Mobile Device Center / Windows 7 does not connect to my PDA
in [Pocket PC]

From: Beverly Howard on 12 Mar 2010 19:49 no mention of the .inf file in your post... that's critical to tell your pc what these devices do when connected. Window Mobile 2003 2nd Edition works just fine with Activesync 3.8 which I would recommend unless you are vista and above... if so, wmdc is the only option. Windows mobile 5 or above requires activesync (XP) or wmdc... The "activesync" simply reflects the fact that wmdc did not exist when that os was released. Beverly Howard

The Acer N300 is running the Mobile 5 OS....RDK I have an LG Expo and cannot sync via USB also. I found that I can sync using a blutooth dongle without any problems. I also use a free app called WiFi remote access, available through the Openmarket app that works great also.

By the way, this is a Windows 7 issue, all three PDA work just fine with XP and have never been "exposed" to Vista so I can not comment on whether or not they would work with it.

From: RDK on 13 Mar 2010 01:50 MegaTec45....Can you install programs on the PDA from the Windows 7 PC using BlueTooth? I will get a BlueTooth device today and try out your suggestion.....RDK "megatec45" <megatec45(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:0fe4568e-b5d5-4e0a-a6b8-2a5d149a7615(a)b36g2000pri.googlegroups.com...

Beverly....Well, I found the file in on my Acer setup CD. I copied it to the desktop on the Window 7 PC. When I right-click and select Install it gives me this error: "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation". If you wish I can e-mail you the file? Is it possible there is something special that Windows 7 is looking for in the INF file? ....RDK "RDK" <RDK_News(a)NoSpamHotMail.com> wrote in message news:uwIQEinwKHA.3896(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Beverly.....You are right, today I will look for the CD's for these > devices and see if I can find the files you mentioned.
