ActiveSync unable to setup partnership with XP
 

Hi,

I recently downgraded my laptop from Vista to XP SP3. I also have a desktop XP where I had ActiveSync working perfectly fine. But now on this laptop when I connect the Diamond via USB cable, it doesn't make the sound of USB connect neither does it ask me on the phone if I want to connect ActiveSync or Disk Drive, etc.

I'm using ActiveSync 4.5.0 if that helps on this XP.
Some help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Are you using the same usb cable you have been? I have two usb cables that do that to me but if I use the stock one or one other that I have that specifically said data cable I get the prompt.. the other two are great for charging but somehow don't work for data connect so when I plug them into my computer it basically acts as a charge port only.

Ah, you could be bang on right about this. I've been using the same cable. But never used the cable I use for XP (which happens to be a cable for Canon SD630 as well). I'm currently traveling so I have this other cable..

I'll let you know once I get another cable (should be tmrw)

Good Luck! I had to try a few cables (the stock always worked) as some of my spares just wouldn't do it.. including yes, a camera cable!

I'm trying to remember if I even got a stock USB cable during the purchase. Might not have...

Great, tried a different cable and it works well now!
Thanks for the help!

Cool! I figured it was something simple... now you know and can help pass it on when someone else comes up with it!

btw.. hit my thanks button? :angel4:
