XP Compatibility

Would it be possible to sync a CE 1 device using CE services on a laptop running Windows XP?

CE Services doesn't run on XP I don't believe...but C:Amie would be the guy to ask for sure!

What Jake said

Chris,

CESDC0031 link on that page takes users to Win95/98 and IR, rather than "Using Handheld PC Explorer and ActiveSync 3.8 together under Windows 2000, XP or 2003"

Unless my browser's askew,

Yes, it directed me to the wrong place also. Are you referring to the CESDC0002 article in answering my question? Will that method work with IrDA?

Sorry for double post. When I said CE Services, I actually meant HPC Explorer 1.1. Will that work?

Yes. I can't remember the specifics, but C:Amie figured out a way to do it. You might search the tutorials for the actual CESDC0031. C:Amie's obviously asleep now, but he should look at this thread tomorrow.

Jake,

Thanks for reporting. It's fixed now.

If you want to learn about using H/PCex and XP, read CESDC0021.

I think I'll do it with Windows 95 instead, my friend is giving me an old IBM laptop (magnesium, heck yeah!) running 95 so that I can do syncs and stuff with my old devices more easily and without using my mom's old laptop. Also C: Amie, in CESDC0020, it says "farewells applications" the second time instead of "firewall applications" just so you know.

Ah, thanks for reporting that. All fixed

If a farewells application doesn't sum up the world of CE, then I don't know what does

You're making me laugh and cry at the same time with that remark, Jake.
