ok i bought the axim x5 from ebay but it didnt have a driver cd ...
and i am new to all that so plz, anyone can help me step by step what to do ...
thanks ...

What operating system you use?
Vista has Windows Mobile Device Center that will synch with your X5.
You'll need Outlook to synch your calendars and contacts. I am not sure if there's third party software that will do the job.

Here's more information about synching: (and the latest Microsoft Activesync download)

ActiveSync Downloads – Windows Mobile Synchronization - Windows Mobile Device Center

If you use Windows XP or older, you will need Microsoft Activesync software

I think Microsoft Activesync 3.8 works best for X5. You can download this from:

Free Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8 English for Windows Family Download


You can check out drivers and downloads at:

Dell Support - Technical Support, Drivers & Downloads, Troubleshooting, Product Manuals and Order Status

Hope that help start you off.

i am using windows xp ...
i tried the third link but didnt know what to chose from ...
i need the driver for first time plug in of the usb in the computer so it recognizes the x5 ...
i am sorry if i am a little slow
thanks

I believe MS Activesync is what you need to get the PC to recognize your X5 via USB. Be sure to install Activesync first before plugging in the PDA.

BTW - I agree JNDSDA regarding the Activesync version. Version 3.8 is probably best for the X5.
