Si_GTi Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hello all, Bit stuck at work at the moment as we have misplaced the companion CD that came with a Dell Axim X30 PDA, and don't have any drivers or software with which to install the little blighter! I understand that Microsoft ActiveSync will do a good job of synchronising data between the PDA and the PC it will be attached to, but I haven't got any drivers with which to install the device on the PC in question I've checked on the Dell website and done a little bit of googling but there is no sign at the moment of a dedicated driver release? Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Have you tried plugging it in to your pc? does it recognise it? I might be able to help tomorrow (my disk is at work i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_GTi Posted October 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 The Axim is docked in it's cradle which is plugged into the PC via USB - the PC (running XP Pro) is just picking it up as "USB device", and automatic install doesn't work, so no, it's not picking it up!

Rustynuts Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I got an Axim X50v. Would the drivers etc. be the same? I could send you a backup disc if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Considered checking the Dell site perhaps, they are all on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_GTi Posted October 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Have checked the Dell website, this is what I get listed as available for the Dell: And they all look to be geeared towards applications for the device rather than actual drivers?

aal234 Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I thought you just needed the active sync software. I sure in the manual it says something like install active sync then plug the pocket pc in. Don't think the drivers are vendor specific its a standard one for all.

Si_GTi Posted October 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I never though to try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_GTi Posted October 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Another question for you wonderful techies The PC in question has already got a Palm device set up on it (I am unsure as to exactly which model of Palm as it's not currently in hte office, it's out and about with it's owner!) and therefore has got Palm Desktop, PocketMirror 3.1.7 and HotSync Manager 4.1.0 installed on it... Will installing MS ActiveSync disrupt this setup at all? The intention is that once the Dell Axim is sucessfully set up, the Palm wil be removed from the system as the Dell will take it's place...
