mgct,

Do you have a norton antivirus?
That is the last option that I can imagine that could be the problem.
I thinking about trying again after uninstalling norton, but as it is my business pc I wait for the system admin. to give his ok.

Please don't forget me.

I have now installed on my kids pc with W98SE and no problems.

For my W2Ksp3 system, could uninstalling Norton be the clue??
I would like to know your opinion before trying, because it will give me certianly troubles with the system admin of my Co. but if that's the point I'll do it.

thks.

I had the same problem a few days ago when I first got my p800. When I tried today it worked. Note this time the cradle was NOT connected - last time it was. Go figure.

RESOLVED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally I have found the solution!
I have used msconfig to disable all software in boot and then booted in msconfig "test" mode.

With that boot configuration the pc suite FINALLY installed.

So: The error message was really bullsh.. There was NO program pending install or unistall...................

SE : Thanks for NOTHING ..................I AM STILL WAITING FOR A REPLY TO MY MAILS AND I HAVE SPENT 5 LONG WAITING CALLS TO THE SUPPORT CENTER FOR NOTHING. "SUPPORT"...........HA! STILL LAUGHING!

IN RESUME: THE PHONE VERY NICE, THE CORPORATION WORTH NOTHING!
