Gosh, this seems to be a new problem i am having with synchronising WM5 with groupwise. Any help pleaseeeee?????
I am stuck
there is still no application available. Some developers are working on it.
Wolfgang
Until WM5 I was able to do this with a PC running Groupwise 6.5.2. I just loaded Outlook 2002 on the same PC and that mirrored what was in Groupwise.....amazing but true! (but now not working as PC is on Novell network and novell workstation software stops Activesync working, so I can't sync anymore...and Activesync 4.1 made no diference....answers on a postcard please).
Is it possible??? I have tryed several things... Activesync 4.0 first won't install on windows 98, but I got activesync 3.0 to install. Then I hook my Cingular 8125 up through USB and clicked next for activesync to find my phone and it dosen't find it. Now I haven't tryed USBswitch... and If that does work I need it in Cab for pocket install, but if that doesn't... then read on....
I even went as far as to download daemon tools to see if I could emulate windows xp, but sad to say, the newest version dosen't support windows 98 anymore (sound familiar??) Good, because I downloaded a down graded version of daemon tools and got a wear error saying it can't find my SIDI driver or something like that (LONG story short and 3 hours later I'm fed up with my emulation tricks, my outdated computer, and all the ERRORs that come with It.....)
If there is some way I could emulate Xp that would be nice... Or even better, hack my Activesync 3.0 to make it able to find my 8125 (then again is it even compatable with windows 98??) Or maybe an alternet way or progy to access my cingular through USB. would sooo tickle the fancy (and maybe the fancy of others in my situation too)... Who knows, any suggestions or tips, or articles or anything would much be obliged.

"Only hard core Troubleshooting!"
First, the bright side of the situation: your portable device is probably more stable than the desktop PC.
I think the most you're going to get to happen is moving a miniSD card from the one to the other.
ok, this is wat i got off ms's site

as u can c, activesync 3.8 is the version thats supported in 98, but from experience, USB support in 98 wasnt that good :?
maybe if u have BT or IR u could sync with that =S
or u could try upgrading to xp.
FYI:

I didn't think Windows Mobile 5 supported anything below AS4.0.
Does it even work with 3.x?
Interesting Active Sync replacement for Vista (RC 1 and higher) only (does not run on XP). Enjoy!
The Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Beta 3 enables you to set up new partnerships, synchronize content and manage music, pictures and video with any Windows Mobile 2003 or Windows Mobile 5.0 powered device.

So I had done all my research and was about to spring for a Cingular 2125...then I came across something that I think has killed my decision. As you know, the Cingular 2125 comes with Outlook 2002.
Well, I just bought a Vista laptop, then I read at the website below that Vista will not sync with Outlook 2002. Other than getting a newer version of Outlook (which I can not afford to do), is there any way of getting Outlook 2002 to work with Vista? Or perhaps is there some other solution that I'm not thinking about? Thanks!

Well Vista kind of sucks, at least for a developer like me, but since that is what you have I have an idea that might work nicely for you. If you are serious about using email, calendar, contacts on a wizard then the way to do it is using an exchange server. It just so happens that www.mailstreet.com the biggest Exchange outsourcing company gives you a downloadable version of Outlook 2003 with you mailstreet subscription. You also get wireless active sync which kind of fixeds your original problem in another way. You don't ever need to plug your device into the computer again to sync it! You also get Outlook web access which is kick ass also. With the newer roms AKU 2 and up you get push email from exchange server which is also pretty kick ass!
I have many exchange accounts from mailstreet and they are top notch. For a single account plus active sync wireless access it will cost you about $16 per month US.

Because I'm a poor student and I can't afford any more than the $200 that the 2125 would cost me.
You can get a Dash or 3125 for PRETTY close to that. I'd go for either of those and at least use something that is still supported!
Both are exceptional devices.

Thank you.

if your PC using Win 7, of course you have to use WMDC to sync with your device..
and you can download it from here
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...-download.mspx
Hi Hakim,
The link that you posted point to a page not found in Microsoft's website."Windows Mobile Device Center", or WMDC, is only available for Windows Vista.
Maybe Microsoft no longer supports WMDC beyond Vista. Thanks for the tips anyway.
Cheers
