difficulty in syncing acer pda with the computer

gune

hi for past few hours i have been trying to syncing the acer pda n35 with my computer... could not/..
i tried trouble shooter etc. not working.
i installed active sync as told and then later uninstaled it as suggested by the trouble shooter.
tried soft resetting the pda several times after each these steps suggested by the help centre..
it seems as connected machine detects acer and sync mark comes strangely for n30 Rolling Eyes

i have wasted nearly 5 hours and got really fed up!!! Evil or Very Mad

things like this happen when your PC security is set too high. Disable any kind of Firewall or Zonealarm or process monitor for the installation of ActiveSync (yep, you need that back!) and for the initial bonding.

Install ActiveSync WITHOUT having the device connected.

Hello gune,

Even though ActiveSync says it is not working, with your PDA connect ignore the ActiveSync screen, just double click My Computer and you should see the Mobile Device icon, if you double click it, it will normally work for you to Explore to your different folders as normal, you should be able to copy and paste files to your PDA, if you copy something to a folder (anything - then just delete it) then most of the time ActiveSync usually comes back to life so that you can sync all your email etc, not sure why but it works for me when I occasionally get this problem.

The corrupt destinator happened to me once. It was either the SD card when i put it in did not make good connections or the background programs still running interrupted destinator.

Solution was to switch off, take sd card out, switch back on go to memory prog and running programs then end all, if some refuse to end do a soft reset. Then switch off again put the sd card back in and all should be well.

Do not believe just because the computer gives memory readings or states data is corrupt this is the case, of course it could be but it is more likely the pda has very limited error responses it can give and also a lot of the time the program has just corrupted in its running and no more.

hi lutz, pocket gps and pj8,
:D thank you v. much for ur advice. sorry about the delay. the thing was i just put the acer n35 in the cupboard till my exams over becuase my wife really fuming and for some part me too cursing acer and destinator...
then i tried it nevertheless it took some time to get a sat fix. so i tried today on road for the very first time, just in the locality. to my surprise it showed me a short cut near to where i live but i did not trust it and didnot took it. however then it showed another short cut which i knew i took it since i knew where i go!
it showed cash machines, and petrol shed on the way...cool. 8)
it was funny uptill i put my home number later today for return journey acer showed the house number just opposite where i lived. Rolling Eyes

also it said check antenna saying signal too weak when out in the open with no shade whatever. Rolling Eyes

sound volume is ok.
thanks again for all the support. :D
