    Compaq iPaq Pocket PC H3900 Series not connecting to WMDC

    Ok. Here is my problem. My iPAQ will not connect to Windows Mobile Device
    Center. The iPAQ is specifically a h3950 and I have tried uninstalling and
    reinstalling the mobile device center and it still does not work. I am
    trying to connect it through USB and establish that partnership, so that I
    will be able to connect (hopefully) via Bluetooth. I can use the option of
    connecting it without setting it up, but that option will not allow me to
    export anything from my Windows Vista Laptop to the PDA. I'm seriously
    looking at getting a Tablet Notebook, because I am a Criminal Justice student
    and this PDA is supposed to be helping me, when I jot down assignments and
    things like that.



    I also do a lot of dog rescuing and being able to export driving directions
    onto the PDA would work a lot better then dragging my laptop around, just for
    the directions or writing them out on a sheet of paper.

    Can anyone help me with this, or is this just a waste of my time?

    3950 is Pocket PC 2002 or maybe upgraded to 2003? I may be wrong but I
    think you need at least WM5 to sync with WMDC

    WM5 = Windows Mobile 5, the current version is WM6. Your PDA is old and
    probably not able to sync with Vista. I would suggest visiting the group
    microsoft.public.pocketpc, and see if you can get some guidance.

    Thanks. I will, even though it finally established a partnership this
    morning and now ruined WMDC, but yet Windows Sync Center seems to say it's
    connected.
