i have a genuine MS system with office 2003. i flashed a rom to the blackstone, which included the mobile ms office 2010, and now i have a warning when i start my PC's office saying it is not genuine, (the phone synched with PC after the flash)
can this happen? any one else experience? or jsut a dodgy version loaded by the IT company brought PC from and only just popped up the warning?
Sounds like the Office on the PC isn't genuine and a windows update has sparked the messages up.
I could be wrong, but I don't think Office on your handset would tie into the PC enough to trigger those kind of events.
Or it could just be the OGA (office genuine advantage) throwing a wobbler and mis-reporting a non-genuine version - this did happen with Windows XP when they first rolled out WGA if I remember right.

Well atleast I think thats the reason. I have Windows XP and have managed to download Acivesync up to 3.8.
But this doesnt seem to be locating my phone. I think this is because the phones drivers are in a bundle with the activsync 4.0 which is with my CD disk (Which wont install)
Any ideas how I can sort this out. I cant get XP SP2 because my windows is from the back of a truck... Unfortunately.
Ok don´t worry. There´s always an answer 4 everything
As you say, active sync 4.0, which is the lowest activesync´s version that works with windows 2005, only get installed over windows xp if you have sp 2. But you can upgrade your xp system to service pack 2 although your xp is from the back of the truck. Just look for a "back truck" method in google, because you can do it :wink:

Hmmm, Ive looked. Cant find a way.
How does one install SP2 without a genuine windows?
not the place here, but i have got activesync 4 running on my xpsp1 box, i refuse to use SP2, perhapse you can sp1 your install of windows, or find the back of the truck method for that :side:
so will it work with either sp1 or sp2 ?

Hi,
You may try popol's solution & let us know if it works for you too!
I've read of a third party service pack solution also but never tried the links, damn i didn't even tried to take notes so I can't help you out. You may try to google though. :?
Cheers,

ActiveSync 4.1 doesn't require SP2, but it does require at least SP1
Supported Operating Systems: Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4; Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 for Itanium-based Systems; Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition for 64-Bit Itanium-Based Systems; Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition (Itanium); Windows XP Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2; Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
Windows XP2 doesn't require validation either. You can just download it from Microsoft's site and install it. Except if you are using Windows Update. In that case you need to set your Automatic Updates to Automatic. Otherwise you cannot get anything from Windows Update and you can get only Critical Updates. (Which would include SP2)
Good Luck
I have been living with Windows Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 since June. This is an "evoluting version" that is upgraded/improved/corrected from time to time. All in all I should not have done that and stay with XP Pro but I was not sure how to unistall it. However, the Windows Mobile Sync function works well with my HTC prophet (Qtek S200) which is equipped with ROM 2.15.23.27 WME, 3/9/06, Radio version 02.19.21, Protocol version 4.1.13.09, ExtROM version 2.15.13.121. Last week, after a little research, I decide to upgrade with RUU_Prophet_2151327_22113102_022021_Dopod_PDAMobizEdition_v101 though I was not that sure that it was really an upgrade (I was looking for the Push-Email feature). In any event, the upgrade program did not work. I am stuck. It stopped regularly with a code error [202]: Th update utility (V2.5.2) could not connect to the PDA Phone. All comments are welcome
I can only speak for the Blue Angel on this - but I couldn't upgrade it using Vista because Activesync is used for the connection. However, in Vista, Activesync has been replaced and it cannot be installed on Vista. In the end, I got out a spare HDD, dropped it into my pc, installed XP FLP and upgraded using that instead.
RC1 of Vista (Build 5600) is now out to certain testers and I can confirm that Mobile Center is no longer present/doesn't work properly. This is also true of 5536 and 5552. The PDA will show up in Computer and you can browse it - but there was no utility to sync. Activesync can again, not be installed either.
Windows Mobile Device Center
With respect to the Sync function, I recall that the "Windows Mobile Device Center" that has replaced in Windows Vista the ActiveSync 4.1 of the past did not work until I triggered the firewall options. After it worked well though the Notes included in the Contacts (MC Outlook) are not synchronised correctly. Hence, my surprise for the impossibility to upgrade s explained above.
question: if microsoft is gearing windows mobile and pocket pc to be direct competition to blackberry in the category of business device(s), why then did they choose to discontinue money pocket pc support? what sense does that make? is there a microsoft financial software solution for the pocket pc? do they plan on putting out something?
it just seems like a backwards move for microsoft
I agree with you on this one. The last version of Money that Microsoft supported with their Pocket PC version was Money 2005 -- which is NOT supported on WM5. Go figure!!
I used Money 2002 along with the ppc client on my Dell Axim and it worked perfectly. Now, I have to depend on Spb Finance to do the same thing and sync with Money 2005.
I'm not real sure M$ had their thinking caps on with this one. Oh, Wait!! We're talking about Micro$oft here. . .
The absolut main reason why I still find my self reverting back to Nokia Symbian phones, despite having all the latest Windows Mobile phones at my disposal can be summarized in one word - Nokia PC Suite. I have not been able to find anything that is even close to matching it for Windows Mobile, offering stable good scheduled automatic sync, SMS read and write etc. etc. via Bluetooth, USB etc. There are Windows Mobile device center, some other apps from different vendors (most with quite poor quality) but I feel that none is even close to matching what is offered by Nokia PC Suite.
So, please help me, is there any alternatives available for Windows Mobile that can allow me to make the full switch to Windows Mobile? Even if it can't match Nokia PC Suite, what are the best alternatives available?
Seriously, is there nothing that can come even close to matching something like Nokia PC Suite (that has been around for several years now) for Windows Mobile? As a business user, if there isn't, I find it very hard to say that Windows Mobile would be a serious alternative as a "business phone".
me too..
its what i dont like about my omnia 2..
with nokia, i can connect it via bluetooth and send and recieve sms messages
via my computer..
with windows mobile, i cant do that..
Samsung New PC Studio is the closest thing to PC Suite..
but it doesnt sync automatic and real time like PC suite..
with PC suite, i automatically sees a notice in my computer that a new message
has arrived or if someone is calling..
Have you tried Jeyo Mobile Companion?
Nokia PC Suite
Can Nokia PC Suite work for Android phones?
Nokia PC Suite for Windows Phones
Offcource yes, When you want to connect your Windows anything Lumia or Asha phone to PC. The Nokia PC suite will definitely make you able to do manage your Windows phone over there. But you must have to remember that you have two kinds of PC suites in this regard. There are two of the PC suites one is a Nokia PC suite and the second is a Windows phone PC suite. So here you have to go with the Windows phone PC suite.
Help!
I have OneNote 2010, Windows 7 and a Touch Pro 2 running WM6.5
I had syncing through WMDC working and then it stopped (I accidentally deleted the OneNote Mobile Notebook). Now I get the 'Attention Required' message.
I have searched online and tried the fixes I have found. I have already tried:
Recreating the notebook
Deleting the cache folder
Reinstalling WMDC
Reinstalling OneNote 2010
Reinstalling Office Mobile
Hard resetting my phone!
It never recreates the OneNote Mobile Notebook and always says 'Attention Required'
Does anybody know if when Office 2010 is uninstalled from the PC, any files are left behind that might be causing this? If so, how can I get rid of them?
Does anybody have any ideas? I really want to be able to use OneNote Mobile 2010.
Hi,
I'm dealing with this issue as well, no solution found yet. I'm struggling with synchronization of my notes with my PC, having originally Office 2003 (where I could open PWI note files in Word) and upgraded to Office 2010 (where OneNote dedicated for Notes cannot open PWI files, nor Word can). Hello MS guys, what's up? Is that all you can do? You develop a fresh new version of software that actually doesn't do what it should do!!!
I want Microsoft to succeed, but they always do this!
Has anyone successfully used OneNote mobile? I get erratic syncing, no option to enter notes via "touchscreen writing". Important things disappear after syncing on regular basis. I had a very consistent method when I used 2003 with the notes and tasks. Upgrades to 2010, and haven't found any improvements with anything, just everything is more complicated and not as reliable. After hundreds of dollars, and hours of frustration...I'm going back to 2003!
Everything Microsoft comes out with these days makes me wonder what they are thinking over there! I no longer have any convincing arguments to promote them as good products when recommending software...
same here
are there any real solutions?
I know it's not a solution really, but after giving Windows Phone 7 a test run...I'm begrudgingly moving to Android. I've been a huge user of windows mobile over the years, but I'm finally jumping ship. Windows Phone 7 is totally sand-boxed and locked down, some people seem to like it...just not for me. I've been trying out other options the last few months since I saw the finished product of Windows Phone...I think after the initial time of getting everything converted over, Android is the way to go.
Temporarily to solve the OneNote things, I went back to using 2003. After I move to Android I will re-install 2010. I know...totally ridiculous, that I need to do this.
