How do I sync my Dell Axim X5 in Windows Vista?
Many, many Dell Axim X5 owners are wondering this one as my most recent searches of forums produced little in the way of results but many users lamenting their inability to link their PDA and sync in Windows Vista.
The problem manifests itself with many earlier Windows Mobile 2003 capable PDAs and there is a simple fix. One website suggested turning off any networking function associated with the USB connection as this is often a source of trouble. This proves useless for Axim X5 owners as there is no such option or function in the menus.
I am happy to report my fix for the problem was equally simple, however. Just go into your Start > Settings > Connections > Connections menu and choose any connection other than the USB one. Exit the settings window, open it up again and select USB again. Save your settings, disconnect your USB cable and plug it back in again.
This worked for me. If you still have problems and/or find alternate solutions or more information about the problem, please feel free to leave comments.
Happy synching~ :)
