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 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.
