I can not for the life of me syncronize my p800 to my pc runing xp pro.

Someone must be able to help here as most have already syncronized their pc's.
The phone connection link in the task bar says im connected on port 3 but for some reason my p800 is not being recognised.
Do i have to set the p800 as modem in the control pannel like the software suggests because the connection is not recognized at all like that.
Can i get better connection software from somewhere that works with p800's cause this sonny ericsson one is obviously crap.
i do not have a p800 connection icon im my connections folder could this be the problem, if so how do i set one up cause my efforts are not working.
any advice appreciated

When I got my P800 I tried for 5 hours to get a connection then read a lot of people having problems. Instead of spending hours/days trying to figure out what was interfering, I installed XP from scratch & everything has worked perfect since. I had no problem with my work PC.

I still have sync problems and I have tried everything I have read on this forum (installing XP from scratch, sync on a "virgin" outlook, trying with new pc suite,...) I hope that new firmware will solve these problems, cause I'm really unsattisfied.

I had the same problem but was very reluctant to reload XP. I rang SE and after about 20 minutes of talking he asked if I had a firewall. I said yes, I use the Norton Firewall. Once I rebooted my Laptop, disabled the firewall and pluged the cradle in, it worked fine. To all those with a sync problem, did you have a firewall installed? I think reloading XP only wipes the firewall off the PC and thats why it worked when you tried it again. If you have a Sync problem call SE UK on 08705 237 237 option 4 and speak to someone. Reloading XP breaks balls.

Never bothered with Disc and used 1.1.1 from start.
Works OK with WinXP firewall.
@beljim
Glad it worked for you too
