windows mobile 5 under vista


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I was using FSUIPC4 under windows XP SP2 with a Dell windows mobile 5 device. Just upgraded to Vista business and now I don't seem to get any GPS info on the mobile device. I rolled back to a previous version of the driver as another user did but still doesn't work. I expect I have a simple problem such as the name of the USB port (used the one in the documentation but didn't work). Any ideas of what I could try? tx.

Is FSUIPC4 installed and working okay -- you've accessed the GPS page in the dialogue and set everything correctly?

Sorry, I've no idea. I've never got any GPS or PDA device to work. There are several older threads from folks who eventually got stuff working, but I don't recall anything specifically different between WinXP and Vista -- excepting of course that Vista currently seems to be a pig of an operating system, stopping you doing too many things or at least making them very difficult indeed.

Regards

FSUIPC4 works as expected. The solution for me was needing to install an old activesync driver under Vista which Vista will not normally let you do. Point 7 on this page: http://www.anichillus.net/index.php?act=showPosts provides a method to install the older activesync drivers under Vista and now everything works. :D

Good! Thanks for the update!
