mobilepro and jornada recommendation and help

i have now got the mobilepro 790. i have downloaded the driver for the 3com airconnect 3crwe737a-e1 on the hardware section on these forums and it is the one for wince 3 but when i copied it over to the CF card and put that in the unit and double clicked it, it said i couldn't install, any ideas?

Tell us the exact error message you get, and we may be able to help sort it out.

'AC20CE' is not a valid Windows CE application

Sounds like you're trying to run a desktop executable on the device. Try running AC20CE.exe on your Windows desktop machine first.

Just as I suspected.

i have done that and many new things have sprung up. any idea where i go from here?

Well, you can start by telling us what the new things are.

here they are

I'd try double-clicking on the icon on the lower right-hand corner.

unfortunately, clicking it in desktop obviously doesn't work as it isn't a ce device but i thought i check but even copying over to cf card and clicking doesn't work. i tried almost all of them.
any ideas?

When you click on the SETUP (32 bit Setup Launcher) icon, it should open up 3Coms Dynamic Access Launcher which creates a folder named "AirConnect Wireless LAN Driver for Windows CE" in the C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT ACTIVESYNC folder. Inside that folder contains all the CAB files for the various cpus. The one you want is titled "AirConnect.HPCPro_mips.CAB" If you don't have Activesync installed, it won't do a thing if I remember correctly.

If you don't have activesync installed, you can download UniExtract and use that to extract the data1.cab file. Then you can copy over the Airconnect.HPCPro_mips.cab file to your 790 and execute it.

i tried downloading uniextract and this still comes up after double clicking
even if i right click and select uniextract, it fails to do it.
the unit didn't come with the activesync software.

did it. i downloaded the activesync software and the driver installed.
how do i get the wireless card setup for my wireless router?
cheers for your patience

Is your wireless router an open system, or do you use WEP or WAP security? If your wifi card (most older 3com cards don't) doesn't support those protocols, then you will need to reconfigure your home network to an open system before you can connect.
