i have just recently got a p800 and after executing the master reset after accidently installing all my numbers three times i now have one standard ringtone and a very basic phone.
to add insult thinking not a problem i will be able to upload all new ringtones etc i did not check the system requirements for the pc suite supplied with the phone. i am running windows 98 and have absolutely no way what so ever of connecting to my phone. short of paying a ridiculos price for ring tones etc i am stuffed. any one else running win 98 have this problem?? i spoke to se and the only answer they could give was there engineers were looking into it!!!!!!
has anybody out there any ideas on a temporary or permanent fix to my problem??

i am reluctant to upgrade my os seeing as i formatted my hard disk a month ago and have only just found the right drivers for my sound and graphics card. dont fancy going through all that again.

you can alwas use bluetooth or infrared to transfare files, also try to send the .sis files to your p800 and install it from there ( Application/ install)

good advice there, probably your best bet too.

just setup a folder on the card and use the reader to place the files there.. easy as pi

You dont need to upgrade to Xp or so, just upgrade to Windows Me, looks and and acts same as Win98, but with with few thousands of bug fixes, and the P800 will work

1. Do not listen to this man .... if u where to upgrade .. go with XP ... dont not even touch ME ... worst OS out !!!!! Trust me on that please ....

2. if u dont want to update Windows OS then get a memorystick reader ... that is prob the best choice of action .... or use infa red or bluetooth(thats if ur pc has either) to send files via each other ....

exactly DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT MAN!!! do not install ME...it is known to be the worth OS mircrosoft has produced...
get the usb memory stick reader or get windows 2000 then if u cant get 2000 get XP....
i personally like 2000 cause it works just like NT... XP's themes are too kiddy
