I will try to address your questions the next time I get back to that PC with my Mio.....RDK "megatec45" <megatec45(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:f8b8905e-de0a-4437-8dbb-b458697c064f(a)k18g2000prf.googlegroups.com...

Are you able to sync every time now with USB? The reason I'm asking is that I was able to sync sometimes with USB after deleting partnerships rebooting and connecting, but usually after one or two syncs, it would stop again. So far the only reliable sync has been BT. With your other 2 devices, have you made sure to pair them with your PC? Also, I think you have to select the device in BT manger when changing from one to the other. The only thing that BT sync won't be able to do is a new ROM flash, it requires a USB connection.
From: RDK on 22 Mar 2010 13:42 Folks .....Yes, I have gotten all of the PDA's to connect and sync with Windows 7. How? That's a very good question and the answer is not crystal clear, but here goes: -> Coincidently with this problem, Windows 7 was complaining about some incompatibilities with Nero 8. So as a good husband, I went out and got an upgrade to Nero 9 and at the same time they offered, "Move it" as $12 extra. "Move It" is an app which is supposed to allow one to connect to phones, music players, and other devices to transfer music, etc. For $12 I got it also. -> today I installed Nero 9 and "Move it". -> "Move it" did not connect or see any of our phones or PDA's -> but while trying with it, all of a sudden Windows 7 recognized the USB connection from the Acer to the PC. Mobile Device Center asked for the PDA password, and it was connected and ready to sync!! -> Obstanently, Bluetooth did not work?? -> I tried the Dell with the USB, and it worked like the Acer above. Bluetooth did not work So was it the Nero app, a change in the phase of the moon or an update from Microsoft? I don't know! I also downloaded the VISTA version of the phone sync app from Samsung. Installed it and Windows 7 now sees my phone. "Move it" id not.
