> Using DRS Cable and WinXP
Bookmark topic
Hi all, great forum...
A question...
I'm using the DRS cable and Windows XP, and I'm having trouble getting the two to communicate. I've only successfully had it Sync Outlook contacts/calendar etc a few times but not all the time.
The cable is on COM1 (using standard settings)
The MPM rarely states the phone is online (with a tick on the icon is systray) I've tried rebooting with the phone connected, searching for new hardware, and turning the phone on and off while connected, but I rarely get any results.
Any ideas guys? where am I going wrong?
Many thanks
GC

I purchased the DRS-10 because I use Windows XP. It works great for me. Did you check:
1. Control Panel -> Phone Monitor Options -> COM ports tab if the Port is enabled (and sometimes needs to be Reserved)
2. Have you run the Ericsson Phone Settings and was the phone recognized?

Yep, the phone is there, but only sees it occasionally...
All I wanna do is send pics to it

I bought it this week-end.
I installed Package 4 and 5 + Mypictures and Emelodys.
All work fine with WinXp. Nothing to configure. Just plug the cable.
I love this cable. All my contacts are very clear now. And I have a nice Bmw M3 as Background ! (thanks to esato).

I plug it in, and nothing happens... I try Sync with Outlook, and SOMETIMES it says it does it (phome says its syncing) etc...
I DL'd Package 4...
OK, I'll try package 5 and see
