well, it reconizes AXIM v51x, but it has it as "Sync media unig Windows Meida Player" and I need to sync with the OUTLOOK.
Any suggestions?

Theresa,

Having WMDC installed can you plug your Aximcradled(make sure the USBcradledhas power coming in) on another USB port then follow the steps i mentioned. let me know if it works.

I posted a comment, but I don't know where it went. I was able to sync on February 9th after following the steps on your website (except the USB to PC one) and it worked great. Then my husband also set up a sync partnership with his cell phone that has windows mobile on it, and it was able to sync. Then about a week later, I tried it again and it wouldn't work. So, I was only able to do the one time. And I just haven't had time until today to try and figure out why. I tried soft resets, rebooting, uninstalling WMDC and reinstalling WMDC, and read website after website trying many different things but nothing has worked.

Good point. I got it to sync on February 9th. I usually only sync about once a week. Then when I tried, it didn't even recognize it. I did a soft reset, rebooted the computer but nothing worked for a quick fix. Then I just put it on the back burner until today when I have spent a lot of time on trying to fix it. The only thing that has changed that I can think of is that my husband also used the home computer to sync his cell phone that has windows mobile. I deleted the sync partnership with my phone with the hopes of just starting from scratch, but now it won't even recognize it.

I too had to do a hard reset when I downloaded the latest ROM update (this could be the reason the USB To PC does not appear on your device); Not sure if that update is what is keeping you from Sync your device thou since you had it Sync at one point. For how long where you able to Sync before the Sync process got screwed up?

I have uninstalled and redownloaded the latest version of WMCD. The only download from Dell I could find required a hard reset of the Axim…which I really don't want to do.

I have not been able to sync via bluetooth. I have it on my axim but I can't find any settings for my PC.

Thanks for checking into other options….

I remembered this happening to me once but it was right after I installed a Sync component on the mobile device and it interfered with the sync process. Make sure you are using the latest version of WMDC (6.1.6965). In the list of connection options I did not see "USB To PC" this may be due to a missing firmware upgrade from DELL, check their site to make sure your not missing one; Other then that I'm stumped for now but will do a bit more research to see what else i can find for you. here are a few suggestions

1) Have you tried Sync via Bluetooth? (if your device is capable)

The final solution would be to: (I think you may have done this already)

1) Remove All WMDC components via the Add Remove Programs
2) Reinstall WMDC
3) Reset your device to factory settings (hopefully you wont mind this)
4) Follow the steps mentioned on this post make sure your cradle device has electrical power coming into it (not just a connection from the cradled to the USB port)

Yes, I used to sync with my PC with XP, and then after using this website, I was able to sync to Vista 64-bit. But, just one time was I able to get it to sync and then it quit working. But in answer to what OS version, I have Microsoft Windows Mobile Version 5.0. So, when I go to start, settings, and then my connections tab (on my Axim), my options are "Beam," "Bluetooth" "Connections" "Dell WLAN Utility" "Network Cards" and "Odyssey Client."
