I am trying to link to my computer (running ME).
I have downloaded activesynch, from the MS web site, but while it dowloads it does not appear to install. What happens is that the dialog appears almost empty with no progress in the progress bar - I have given up, but perhaps it takes a long time - how long should it take I wonder? When I stop the installation it says are you sure you wnat to cancel the incomplete installation.
Is there any way of sorting this out - using an older version or something?
When linking the X5 to the cradle the finding new hardware dialog comes up and the system hangs.

Many thanks for any help

Nick
