Axim X51v USB driver missing

da.br4in · 01-07-07, 01:51 PM

Hi,
I have a problem flashing my german X51v: When the axim reboots to the Update Utility, the Host PC asks for drivers. But I don't have these drivers anymore because my CD is broken.
Would it be possible that somebody can upload those files I need?

Thx

You need to let us know what your OS version is (Win98/ME/2K/XP).
There is no USB driver on the CD unless you're running Win98. All the other OSes have the ddriver built-in. You need to install activesync 4.1 or greater.

Activesync 4 or later contains the USB drivers to connect to any WM device. It can be downloaded from the microsoft website.

Hmm, I'm running XP with ActiveSync 4.2. The win devicemanager popups a message "USB-Device found".
What can I do?

Thx

Never heard of this one.

Try reinstalling ActiveSync.

I had that problem. New USB device found: Windows Movile Device. After clicking yes, next, next etc I got to a sreen that said "Windows found the drivers for this device but are designed for Win95. You may need to contact the publisher for a newer driver".

Not exactly those words. I was running XP SP1. The problem as it turned out was a bad registry entry that said I was running XP SP5. Which dosent even exist. When I set the reg value back to its proper number Activesync installed and the driver was loaded just fine.

But anyway, you never mentioned what you did when you got the notice a new USB device was found. Did you follow the steps of the hardware wizard and follow through installing the device? Or were you literaly asking what to do?
