This goes out to the first poster, and any other whom may benefit. I have:
Compaq Evo N1020v laptop
XP Pro
Outlook 2000
Acer IR port/driver
Kept getting the message "Cannot detect phone"....eventually this is how I got it to work...installed pack 1: http://wap.sonyericsson.com/emi_download/SynchSoftware/R4APackage1.exe
Then installed pack 4 and installed ONLY XTND... http://wap.sonyericsson.com/emi_download/SynchSoftware/R4APackage4.exe
It doesn't 'always' sync perfectly, but 90% of the time it does. When you see the 2 comps communicate via IR, hit the "Sync" button on XTND...by installing these packs separately I got a completely different setup and no issues - hit the "purchase" button when it shows - does nothing really. Good luck..G

Also had problems with XP, but the IRCOMM driver sorted them out!
Can't remember if it comes with the SE packages, but most likely from the Phone Backup site (has a link to it).
Hope this helps.  |

Do you use any firewall software? I find that zonealarm is often the culprit with sync software. For some programs I have to run it and end it in order for them to communicate properly. You might want to experiment with that. |

P900
Toshiba Tecra M2
Win XP Pro
Sony Ericsson Sync s/w
Not wanting to carry a SyncStation around I have been trying to get the phone to sync over irda. Many hours wasted with "no phone found" changing ir settings, modem settings, network settings, rebooting, etc.... In a flash of brilliance I went and borrowed a syncstation, changed the settings for it to search on IR, and hewy presto... my sync was done in about 1.5 minutes.

Z600
Win98SE
IRexpress dongle
Phone connects to pc on the IR Monitor. Very temperamental when connecting to XTNDconnect PC and the SE desktop tools. Sometimes it connects, sometimes it does not. But always takes a long time. I really don't need much syncing and file transfers but I just hate it whe things don't work right.
Any clues? |
