Windows DOes Not Reconigise MPX220 as a device

[Guest jasonh]

Hi

I have just got my MPX 220 and plugged it into my system (Win XP SP2) and on connection it beeps at finding a device but then windows cannot find a valid driver for it and reports that the device is malfunctioning...

has anyone come accross this or have any ideas?

Have you got the latest version of ActiveSync installed ?

Get it from here if not :

HI

Yes, Im running Version 3.8.0 Build (5400)

Im thinking of uninstalling it and running the Active Sync version (3.7) that came with the device, though connecting to active sync is one thing, getting windows to recognise the device is another

You have to have the Driver installed first. It will identify the phone as "Motorola Mpx220 Smartphone" or something similar. Here's the driver attached below. Unzip it and when prompted install it.

Addtionally,

There are a few steps to do before you sync it with ActiveSync (but this may be alleviated by Paraklas' posted driver). For the life of me, I cannot remember where I saw this (update tool, software, etc) but I had to first connect the Mpx220 through my USb cable with the battery disconnected. This allowed it to find the wireless portion.

When it was done installing that, you have to connect with the battery installed. I think the directions said that you might see the Unknown USB device once, but that was it. I havent had any issues since I followed those directions.

Not sure if that helps or not....
