Ok, so I got a dell AXIM X5 from my friend. No CD, Just the ppc, charger, usb docking station, SanDisk 128mb wi-fi card (I know-you all say its bad, im having real problems with it aswell, but thats for another day), bluetooth CF.

So I downloaded ActiveSync v4.5 and then docked the X5 - all went well. Found it, connected, I installed some game and the Wi-Fi drivers.

It connected another 2 or 3 times via the USB dock then suddenly - BOOM...

"USB Device Not Recognised"

It just wont reconise it - i've reinstalled ActiveSync, System restored to yesterday!! Nothing!

Please help me out here - I will die if I can't get this working.

Great forums you got here btw - I have been looking around

Sam,

I feel for you! I bought a Dell Axim X5 at an auction. It came with a charging stand and two SD media cards. I purchased a Dell TrueMobile 1180 wifi card, used a friends laptop to install the drivers. Well later my friend install Vista Home addition, now my Axim won't sync.

Ok I think it works because you must have activesync running both on your desktop pc and your ppc for it to connect

Im so happy I figured this one out!

You don't have to have Activesync actually Running, just installed on your desktop. That way, when you connect your Axim in the cradle, Activesync will recognize it and start up.
