Help.
I can't get my Axim X5 to sync.
I got it a year ago and at first, on one of my computers it worked fine. But then I lent my CD that came with my X5 to a friend, he returned it and I lost it.
Then I couldn't get my X5 to sync with any other computer. I tried to down load drivers from the internet and other places, but I couldn't get it to sync. Then, a friend from work lent me a Axim X30 with the software CD. That one worked great, up until recently when I broke it. Now I'm trying to get my old X5 synced and I can't get it to work. The orginal computer it worked on it gone, I haven't found the orginal CD for the X5 and I can't seem to get it to work.
I plug it onto my computer's USB connection. Hardware manager can see the device. But active sync 3.7.1 won't connect to it. It seems to detect that a device has been connected to it cause it says: "Connecting" and my Axim says "Connect to", but them the active sync window disappears on my axim, and on my PC it just says "Connecting" for a long period of time.
I've tried deleteding the partnerships in activesync from the other Pocket PC i've had and I've tried updating and change the driver for the Axim device in Hardware manager several times. I've also tried "Get Connected" in active sync many times, but it just can't fine a device.
Any anyone help me?
