Hey all I have question. My girlfriend bought an X5 (used), it came with everything she needed except for the registration code so now she cannot sync to her desktop. Anyone have any suggetions?

maybe you could try a hard reset

The only registration code is for Outlook. If she has a valid version of it (it comes with M$ Office), then no code is necessary.

Yeah, I would like to know if that's what is really going on there...sounds kinda strange.

Activesync is free, can be downloaded from Microsoft's website.

Outlook on the other hand needs a product key. If you have any version of Microsoft office you are fine. Otherwise, I would contact the seller and see if they can dig it up. If not, you will need to buy a copy of Outlook, usually the best method is to buy the student/teacher edition of office. You can use the Axim without it, just that you won't have a program to sync your contacts, calender, etc. data to.

Registration codes...we don't need no stinking registration codes! :hide:

My Axim (that I purchased from Dell) came with a CD that contained all the programs you needed - including Microsoft Outlook. Did they include the Dell CD with your purchase on Ebay? If so, check that out. If not, ask the seller if they have the CD. If not, you'll need to buy a version.

Good luck,
