I am trying to get my new ACER tablet (win7) pc to download Active Sync so that it will be able to communicate with my old Trimble TSC so I can download the gps txt files.

Microsoft tells me that the download is blocked due to compatibility issues???

Your advice please?

Thanks, Brad

Brad,

I don't use a Windows 7 machine, but I do know that the Windows Mobile Command or something like that is what I use on my Vista laptop. Maybe there is something like that for Windows 7?

I still use the Active Sync on the XP machine in the office.

I hope this helps.

Jimmy

You can sync with windows 7, but it needs a different program:
Windows Mobile Device Center installs automatically when you plug the device in, or see

From my experience, I have not been able to get Windows Mobile Device Center to communicate with older devices that use Active sync. Not sure I tried installing mobile device center on the older pda thing or not.....

I use the Mobile Device Center to connect to a Juniper Archer to download data files and it works just fine.
