Axim X50 not showing up as a windows mobile device

[Guest]

My Dell Axim X50 is showing up as an unkown device. I have deleted it and
then allowed device manger to find it again with the same results. I can see
the SD card and internal memory of the device but can't sync to outlook.

Thanks

Did you install any software that came with the device? Might be some
proprietary Dell software that needs to be installed first.

Thank you. Good sugestion but there is nothing to load. In the past acitve
sync was all that was required.

Thank you for your reply. In this case there isn't any software to load. In
the past, I just loaded active sync and was good to go. Seems to be an issue
with the new built in Vista version of sync center and my X50 running Mobile
5.0.

Have you downloaded that from Active Sync then and see if it will work?

If version 3.8 does not work, give the 4.2 BETA preview a try:

ActiveSync all versions is blocked by Windows Vista. You need to use Sync
Center. I am having similar trouble. I can create a partnership but I can
sync the device with the Exchange Server, not not Outlook.

Anyone with suggestions I would welcome them to.

I was told that Vista's Sync Center replaces all previous versions of Active
Sync. But I'm having the same problem with my Dell Axim X30. The Mobile
device shows up in device Manager, but Windows Mobile Center would not start
up and the Sync Center doesn't have my partnership.
