mike37t Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 If you download the drivers from this linkhttp://www.nxtg.net/files/sony-ericsson-k-series-drivers.zipyou can install a K800i on Vista if you manually point Vista to the driver files once the Automatic search fails.I have installed my K800i in this method and synced it with MyPhoneExplorerHopes this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaser Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 oh cool, can you install the phone software aswell? Or is the program you mentioned avilable somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike37t Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) This is just to install the Drivers for the K800i, it does not install the SE software.But if you install MyPhoneExplorer you do not need the SE Software.MyPhoneExplorer available from http://www.fjsoft.at/en/With this I have been able to download the photo's from the camera and sync all the SMS and contacts.Only works for USB cable though as Bluetooth in Vista has been crippled by Microsoft!!
