Hi there. Can someone please help. For some reason neither my laptop nor my desktop pc recognise my phone. I've searched various forums and cant find anything on the subject (which makes me think its not a common problem, and therefore i am doing something stupidly wrong!!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Cheers

Hi

Oh yeah, I was trying to use the software that came with my phone. To be honest though, i dont care what I use - i just want to be able to transfer some tunes to my phone.

ps i dont hand broadband on my computers

Have you made sure that the phone is in USB File transfer mode? I have noticed that when using the cable, it will only work on my comp using the file transfer mode, if you have it in phone mode the computer won't see it.

First if all you want to do is transfer music you don’t need to install the software as windows will see the phone as a memory stick

When you connect the phone is it listed in the device manager with a question mark

When you install the drivers first before the PC suite do you point them to program files/sonyericsson/k800i folder or what ever the path is as windows wont find them automatically BAD BAD windows

I downloaded the software from SE and it came in 2 parts the driver which had to be installed first the then PC suite but if you installed from the CD it probably done it together have a look in the SE folder is their a K800i driver folder if so you need to go to that question mark and right click and update the driver pointing to the K800 folder
