Blackberry Desktop Manager and Outlook 2000

Muppet81

I was hoping to be able to synchronise my PC Outlook calendar and contacts with my Blackberry 8520

Seems that the current version of BDM is not compatable with Outlook 2000 and that the most recent version which would be was v 4.2.2

This is no longer available on Blackberry's site and I wondered if anyone knew of where I might locate a download for this version?

Also wonder if loading such an old version could have repercussions on other aspects of my PC????

Not very technical so any advice/tips would be appreciated.

Why not update Outlook?

Bit if you need BDM 4.2, it's here(haven't checked it myself).

Some more versions here

Good idea but I am trying to avoid the cost of updating Outlook.
Thank you very much for the link.
Just popping out but will try it when I get back.

Have just downloaded v 4.2.2
My PC is detecting my Blackberry but the BDM is showing as disconnected and that no device can be found.

Have connected by USB

Any ideas? Will be back in a coup[le of hours and will check for any replies .... she says hopefully

Did you uninstall the other version beforehand and then re-boot before installing the old version?

I'll post the software solution to your PM inbox.

Thanks.
Yes, I did uninstall from Add/Remove programmes in Control Panel and I did re-boot.
Thank you for your PM. Very helpful :A
