64 Bit Processor Problem with PC Suite

3 replies · 2,761 views · Started 24 March 2004

This is the only conclusion I have come to. I have tried to reformat my PC over and over again..

Here is what happens:
1.)After Fresh installation it works, but when you restart once, what happens is the mrouter connects but thats it, P900 explorer wont work, back and restore or sync wont work either.
2.) I uninstalled and reinstalled pc suite, mrouter and even deleted all the registry entries manually and reinstalled again and again.. still the same results.
3.) It will only work once when I reformat the PC and install it and thats it.
4.) Also tried it on different USB ports and still the same.
5.) Also disabled mcaffee first before installing it.

Im using an Athlon XP 64bit Processor with a Asus K8 board. Kingmax DDR400, 120gb Western Digital Caviar,HIS Radeon 9800xt video card.

Tested on
PC Suite 2.3.1 and 2.1.1

If anyone has some other conclusions or experience please do let me know.

weird, i'm using fx51 and it works, the processor is back compatible (well it must be as only linux work is compatible with 64b so far), i wouldn't have thought it'd be the processor, could it be another installed hardware that's conflicting the port? this was the problem for me a while ago, when i installed the phone and sync cradle, it wouldn't get detected, until i reformatted, and installed it first, before any others, and it worked.

Hmm will try to reformat it one more time.. Thanks!

Finally I reinstalled everything and everything was working ok already. No today, I backuped my phone, then updated the firmware online, all went well also.

At then I closed the last explorer window of the windows update program of SE. Then I opened back and restore to make a backup of this clean update that I have and I was goign to restore my old backup BUT, it couldnt do it, it told me the connection was busy, so what I thot was maybe I should just restart my PC, but after that, I got the same problem again, Mrouter connects but the P900 icon still says unconnected and I cannot run backup and restore because it tells me no phone is connected, this is the exact same problem again!!!
Its very frustrating because I now have to reformat and reinstall everything just to restore my phone backup 😞

I hope some1 if not SE themselves could help me with this.
