ActiveSync 3.8 + WM05 (mpx200)

[Guest vlodeck]

Hello,

I have Active Sync 3.8 installed on my Windows 98 (not SE). I cannot install newer version of windows (won't explain) :) .

When I connect my mpx200 (WM05) to usb, Active Sync doesn't detect it. When I connect my brother's mpx200 (WM2003SE). I can not install newer version on Active Sync because 3.8 is the latest working on Win98.

I would like to mention that I can't upgrade my mobile for example to WM Power Moto, because while flashing I get an error to re-upgrade my mobile or contact the service.

What can be done?

Virtual beer for everyone ;) .

The fun of using ilegal software on your device :)

Basically you have to use the newer Activesync so your only option if you still want to sync your device is to upgrade the OS on your PC so you can install Activsync.

Not the best answer but you do not really have much choice apart from not syncing the phone.

Since when WM05 is illegal?

It has never been released on the MPX200

So if you have it on an MPX200 you have an unreleased "leaked" copy that you are not licenced to use.

actually, same happens with my tornado... i have a win98 pc @ the office... and can`t use activesync :), since wm5 needs as 4.x and win98 doesnt go beyond as 3.8

if i good undesrstood, the device is now recognized as serial and not usb / virtual network adapter, so should work with older activesync :)
