Almost everything else is in the context sensitive help menu and, when not there, the next best option is to post the question here. WM5 was a major os leap and 5.0 had (imho) some serious problems, especially with file handling on the memory card and network connections. Activesync 4.x http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/activesync-download.mspx is required to sync on XP but for Vista and above, WMDC (again, imho) is not worth the grief... look at exchange sync options such as http://bevhoward.com/GoogleSync.htm instead. The above page indicates that 4.5 will work on earlier versions of windows, but, I'm pretty sure it will not work on earlier platforms unless 4.5 was reworked to do so. Beverly Howard

Still happy with 2003 on my Toshiba e800 bluetooth models ;) |
