Is there a way of installing Active Sync without installing or upgrading my computer to Windows XP SP2?
Does your XPsp2 installer not like your XP? :shock:
Why would it not work?
I installed ActiveSync 4.1 on an XP system without SP2 and have had no problems.
How about some error messages? Anything in the logs?

Ditto, 3.7 has worked for me without any problems on XP SP1 since Day 1.

No problem for my notebook running Win XP Pro SP2 and ActiveSync v4.1
Make sure you upgarde your PC/notebook WMP9 to WMP10 before installing ActiveSync 4.1

Hi. Thanks for the response everyone.
Where can I find version 3.7?
Active Sync 4.0 and 4.1 requires Windows SP2. The problem arises after I upgraded to Windows SP2. I can't connect to my WiFi access point anymore. I disabled every firewall there is and I still could not connect to my access point. Reset the computer and still could not connect. My TH55/E1 and EXEC can, with the exception of my computer. Now I can install Active sync 4.0 and 4.1 without problems but not having the internet access is my down fall. So after installing some stuff I usually run the restore option from previous. So you guys can imagine the trouble I am going through.

Sounds like very strange behavior. I'd suggest you try to fix your PC rather than installing an old version of ActiveSync. (Your Exec, after all, requires ActiveSync 4.x to synch Windows Mobile 5.)

Here are the requirements for 4.1.:

For those who don't need 4.0 or 4.1., 3.7. or 3.8. are available here:

Thanks Triband81.
Right now I've installed all the applications I want so I restored back prior to Windows SP2.
No problem, so you're using 3.8?

No, right now, I've installed all the applications I need using active sync 4.1.
I still could not connect my computer to the internet, so I restored back prior to SP2. I don't need to sync anyway, not unless I have to install something in the future.

No error messages. It is as if, Windows SP2 cut off my internet connection totally. I have no problem installing nor using Active sync 4.1. I just could not connect to the internet after I upgraded to windows SP2.

I have no idea as to why I could not install Active Sync 4.1 without Windows SP2, it might be a requirement. But it is odd that you were able to install yours.
XP SP1 and Async working fine, both on the lappy and the home computer although im using version 4.0
Whats the exact problem tha you cannot connect to your AP with SP2??
A Commen problem is that the PC cannot get an IP Adress. If this is your problem, install SP2 and after that the "KB893357-v2" Update, this is an optional patch that brings WPA2 and other features to XP, and it fix this WLAN Bug. Patch is here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=662bb74d-e7c1-48d6-95ee-1459234f4483
And yes you need ActiveSync 4.1 for Mobile 5

Thanks very much lutzs! I'll try it right now. I'll post back if it works.
I have my settings on automatic, so it'll detect my access point, that is without SP2 installed and my internet works.
But as soon as I upgarde to SP2 so I can install Active Sync 4.1. My computer can't access the internet saying: "LOW SIGNAL". I tried manually assigning IP addresses, now I saw that windows was able to connect, but still Internet explorer won't work.
Thanks for this update link. I'll upgrade again to Windows SP2, then install the file from the link you suggested. I'll post back with the result. Wish me luck!

Hi lutzs,
I tried this today and it still did not work. Maybe I need to fully reformat my computer. We'll see if I'm in the mood for that. It takes an entire day to reformat my computer and I hate to waste time. Although, I already tried that once before and did not work. Anyway, I restored back to basic windows xp without the SP2 update. Thus, I don't have Active Sync installed since version 4.x requires SP2.
Hi,
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
I brought the o2 Xda Mini S yesterday, and have just got round to installing it. I have come up against a problem as I plug in to my pc, as I plug in the usb it does the usual "Found new Hardware" but I cannot locate the driver "Generic RDNIS" does anybody know where I can download this driver????
Thanks in advance,
Ross
do you have activesync installed? normaly activesync installs this driver when a pocketpc with wm5 is connected.

Yeah I do ( 3.8 ), cannot use 4.1 as I need to update my pc to install that, and windows updates ruins some of my applications.
cheers
Hi - I think you we struggle to connect a WM05 PPC if you do not install the latest activsync (4.1). My Mini S would not even connect reliably with the software that came with the device (O2 XDA - the disc has ActivSync 4.0!!!) as soon as I upgraded to 4.1 it's much more relible, not perfect! and certainly not as good a my back up device - HP2210 running WM2003 this device never failed to connect with 3.8.
Sorry but I think you will need to update your PC somehow.
Unless anyone knows a trick to get around this problem. :?
Regards,
Chris.
It won't work with 3.x, you need 4.1 installed.
Hi all,
I try to connect my Xda 2 with PC but I getting sync problemss,
I have Microsoft activsync version 4.5 and I getting following message.
“Cannot verify the version of Activesync on your device, a program such as firewall may b blocking a port activesync uses to connect to device, or you may need to upgrade to more recent version of activesync on your pc”
I uninstalled and downloaded version 4.2 and then getting message only “ Microsoft activesync version is not appropriate with my device”
I am a bit fedup now because I try to solve this problem from last few days.
thank you.
Soha
It won't work, if you have Vista installed on your pc.Neither 4.2 not 4.5.
I have windows xp on PC.
You must shut down firewall when connecting or installing programs via ActiveSync.. I used to have the same problem.. Sorry for my english..
Hi. Help me please! I have got x1 but i haven't got a cd. But i want to update my rom, but it is working on Active sync. The problem : my combuter doesn't know the devce, so i can't update my rom and i can't upload Wm 6.5 Please help me. Thanks
use another combuter
switch x1 in drive mode
There is absolutely no need for the original CD, i have one but i have never put in the the computer, i don't know even what's on it
I use my X1 with 2 computers, a Vista and an XP Pro, both recognized the x1 with no special drivers, activesync ok.
to update the ROM, check the X1 ROM forum here, there is a method without PC (the MicroSD method), which i use and is very fast and easy.
Does anyone know whether there are any prog that allow usb host on the xperia? I want to plug my hard drive into it w/o using a computer
It doesn't exist simply becuase xperia doesn't has the hardware to be a usb host.
so
So, thank you for all, but my problem is still. So, I've got windows xp and x1, the usb driver connect is very godd, it is working, but if i choose the Active sync the xp doesn't know the device. I don't know why. Should i have a driver or another program ? I want to update my rom and Wm 6.5. Please help

"You are trying to install Microsoft Reader 2.6 on a device that does not have the Microsoft Origami Experience Pack or Microsoft Touch Pack installed ..."
