PenCentra - help needed

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi Folks,

I think I need some help.. ;-)

I recently acquired a second-hand Fujitsu PenCentra130 running 'WindowsCE
Handheld PC Professional Edition' but there was no software for my PC to
facilitate synchronisation etc. I do have the Active Sync software from a
Compaq PDA and the latest Microsoft Active sync upgrade but this does not
want to talk to the Pencentra - perhaps not surprisingly. When I try and run
Active sync with either the serial connection or an infra-red link I get a
message telling me there is no partnership set up between the two machines.
Reinstalling the old PDA software does not give the option of setting up a
partnership. As far as I can tell I have both devices correctly set to use
the appropriate connection method but they just will not communicate. I
quickly run out of ideas and enthusiasm at this point.....

I am not too concerned with synchronising 'office' data but I really would
like to be able to upload applications to the tablet - mainly a mapping
program to use with my GPS - and to download the resulting track and route
data at some stage for storage and printing etc. Surely a simple file
transfer mechanism would achieve this if the synchronisation remains a
problem.

Can anyone tell me what I need to run on the desktop PC to allow this to
happen - I think it may be a variant of Windows CE - and where I would go to
find this software. The desktop pc currently runs 2000.

Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have. If they aren't useful then
make sure they are amusing... ;-)
