Well, after seeing all my coworkers starting to get PDA's, I went ahead and ordered an AXIM 5 400...

I thought I had read somewhere that you can not sync with a PC running windows XP, is this true?

I have a PII 350 mhz running windows XP, hopefully I will noit have any problems...

Yes, you can use the Dell Ax w/ WinXP. I do it everyday and have since December. No probs downloading games and stuff.

I've backed up my entire Ax to my pc also, but I can't seem to find where it is located. Hope someone can help me find it. I used default directory.

As you can see, I'm still learning too!

The Axim works fine with XP. Although, I would recommend upgrading ActiveSync from version 3.5 to version 3.6. Haven't really noticed any difference myself, but have heard that 3.6 is a little more "stable" under XP.

As for your Axim backup on your XP PC... If you opted for the default location for the backup file, it is hidden pretty deep in sub-folders.

Here goes:
- Documents and Settings
-- Your User Name (whatever you log in to XP as)
--- Application Data
---- Microsoft
----- ActiveSync
------ Profiles
-------- Your Axim Partnership name (your Axim Device Name)
--------- The backup is named Backup.stg

At least this is where it is on my XP PC.

Hope this helps.
