    You install Activesync on your PC... You plug the usb cable in and then turn on the PDA... The connection should be automatic

    I have also installed the activesync software on my desktop pc (windows xp home edition os) but upon making a connection windows says that the usb device connected is not recognized even though i believe that this should just be a plug and play connection!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I've had problems swapping one USB item for another on the same USB socket, or moving the same item to a different USB socket. Have you looked in Device Manger while the PPC is connected, then disconnect and reconnect and see what shows up?

    Alternatively if you can try it on another PC. If you get the same result the PPCs USB may be a faulty *or* the PPC connector is not making a good connection on all required pins. Check that connector is fully home and/or there's no muck making a bad fit etc.

    I have a Kodak WIFI card. Has anyone got a WIFI card (especisally a Kodak) to work with the Medion PPC 150? If so how, the Kodak doesn't come with a driver because it is supposed to only be for camera/printer/dock. :(

    As seen in a previous post, I have also had the message about my map being 12 months old and consider updating it.
    Has anyone found out if there are any new maps for the UK for the Medion Navigator 5, I only bought it about 2 months ago.
    Thanks Dave T

    Not sure if this is the right place to post but here goes.
    I used my medion ppc100 for the first time today, I tested it on the run to pick my oh from work . The route the satnav picked is a lot longer than my usual route. I went the way i normally go hoping the satnav would change routes.To my suprise it kept on telling me to u turn to get back on the selected route even when i was just yards away from the destination. i have never used a satnav before so do not know if this is normal.
    As i got it for some travelling i am doing next weekend and do not want to end up going round in circles, should i change the satnav programme completley or update to a newer version do not really want a stand alone sat nav as i like using the pc , not sure how i would go about this. I have navigator 4.4

    I am currently unable to get ActiveSync to work (it did) - have completely removed and tried reinstalling but it still fails.

    Found some info that the wireless card can cause probs with active sync if present before hand, so have tried to remove it but the Driver won't uninstall as IPN2128.dll in the windows dir is Locked. Have tried a reset and still can't uninstall it.....

    I'm not sure if it's the cable - but I did have a problem with the car charger (see earlier posts) - PompeySteve - have dropped you a PM.....
