And you are definatley using the most recent version of the PC Suite from the SE website?
This is very strange as it does seem to be a driver issue?
You mentioned that you have formated the phone - have you also tried running the format from the service screen?
input this when on the main menu:
"up" "*" "down" "down" "*" "down" "*"
("up" and "down" are one click of the jog dial)
then click on format internal disk, see if that fixes anything.
does anybody know if the version on the SE website is new? I haven't bothered to upgrade PC suite for a while - just wondering if the version on the website is bad? I'm using version 1.3.19 without problems - the version on the website is 1.5.26.

Hi Nipsen, got a new one for ya...
"Sync software, helpful pointers for when it just won't", or, "Tips for avoiding suicidal frustration brought on by repeated failed attempts to sync."
1: Plug in your phone, right click on the mrouter icon in your system tray, choose 'advanced settings' make sure USB and any sub check boxes are ticked, also view 'additional com ports', and put everything in the left box into the right one.
2: Try using a different USB port on your computer - preferably one that's hardwired onto the mainboard, and not on an expansion card or external hub.
3: Make sure that your drivers are installed correctly. To do this, open 'Device Manager' on your pc, attach the phone, check to see that no 'unknown devices' appear in the list on your computer (they will have exclaimation marks by the icons). If there are any, then try to update the drivers for these devices by pointing the 'update driver' wizard directly to C:Program FilesSony EricssonSony Ericsson Symbian 9 Drivers.
4: Install the most recent version of pcsuite - downloadable from SE's website.
BUT FIRST:
Uninstall your current pcsuite, delete all references to Sony Ericsson & the pcsuite from your registry (search from the top of the tree, as there may be some in both HKCU & HKLM), manually delete any drivers from your system32 folder (they all start with the letters 'zebr' for ease of search - make sure to get rid of the .inf files as well, again these start 'zebr'), remove any folders that are left in 'program files' (SE ones that is ).
And start again. This will at least eliminate, any question of corrupt drivers/registry settings (re: the pcsuite), as these may not have been overwritten by your new installation if they were already there. I know it's a pain, but conversely it's good to be methodical.
If this doesn't help then check your XP installation for missing dlls etc. using system file checker (start - run - sfc /startnow), you'll need your XP install CD at the ready, after doing this you'll need to run windows update.
5: Reflash the phone's firmware with SEUS - NB. ALL user data will be lost from the phone (apart from any that is held on your memory stick).

Hi,
thank you all for your replies. I have tried everything you suggested in the last posts. Still, i can't connect nor use SEUS.
I imagine that i may not have a problem if i plug the phone into a Mac. The problem is i don't know anybody with a Mac.
.
Or i wil be looking for someone with a P1i and see if his can conect to my gears. May be the phone itself is somehow not OK.
Very annoying. I wanted soooo bad to have this very phone (P1i).
