CE 1.0 and XP

Hope someone can assist.

I need to communicate with a Cassiopeia A10 to download some softwarte to it. However when I attempt to load explorer I get the error meesage that HPC manager is running and must be shut down?

I am running Win XP - is it possible to install the old communication software explorer onto XP. If not, is there a work around?

I get the same message when I attempt to install explorer onto a Win 98 PC.

Thanks in advance.

strange, it worked fine on a win98SE laptop for me. not sure what the message could be. were you installing hpc explorer 1.1? (or 1.0?)

My old P1 98SE computer works great with HPC Explorer 1.1... cmonex is right.. HPC Explorer 1.0 had just too many bugs and 1.1 just works great with my Velo..

When I try to install Explorer 1.1 I get the message "Setup cannot proceed, H/PC connection manager is running"

I have tried closing all programs running in the background, firewalls the lot - still no go!

Any ideas?

Thanks

Do you have ActiveSync / Windows CE Services / Older HPC Explorer installed?

IF YOU HAVE installed the old version of HPC Explorer (1.0) you got this error.

Uninstall the HPC Explorer (1.1) and delete all folders in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft HPC Explorer" or any folders that have "HPC Explorer" in name.

Reinstall the HPC Explorer and try again.

If you doesn't got successfully, I Doesn't know....

I'm connecting my XP notebook to my Cassiopeia A11 using infrared port and Activesync 3.8

Then your A11 must have the CE 2 upgrade..

Hi.
When Im connected to XP, my Casio A-11 gets only 3 minutes of connection and the it stops. and the connection restarts. Is there any workaround? In Win2K I didnt have this problem.

Try restarting your computer and soft resetting the Casio...

this is happing all the time.
no matter if I turn both off and then on again.
must be cos the Casio connection shows as "acesso não autorizado" (portuguese for something like "unauthorized access".
Then I tried to add the HPC´s name as a user. Didn´t worked. any ideia?

I did exactly as told on the XP link

Except I have a USB-to-serial adapter so I can hook up my Hitachi HPW-10 to my new PC. But the PC assigned COM4 port and when I set the connection up the window only gives me the COM3 fax/modem as an option! Anyone know how I can force the HPC Explorer to connect to COM4? Thanks

Did you read the footnotes in the CESD?

Yes, I finally got XP to recongize the HPC, and the HPC does connect via PC link on COM4. BUT HPC Explorer won't open! So how do I get that thing to work, and be able to transfer files? Thanks guys, we're halfway there
