Jornada 568 and Windows Mobile Device Center

Greetings...

I replaced the battery on my Jornada 568 and the system did a full reset,
thereby wiping out all my data. Didn't think it was all that devastating
because I had it backed up on my computer and could do a restore.

Alas, I'm unable to get the Jornada to connect to my computer and need help.

I'm at a disadvantage because I bought the Jornada used and it didn't have
any software or a manual, so I'm running blind. I have everything for an
earlier 548 that I used extensively, so the transition wasn't too bad.

Long story short (I know, too late!), I could really use some help with
this.

BTW, this is all the more complicated as my computer is running Vista Home
Premium.

TIA...

Mike

Mike,

The 568 runs Pocket PC 2002 as it's OS. Windows Vista and Windows Mobile
Device Center only supports Pocket PC 2003 and higher.

Did you actually have this working before the battery replacement?

Yes, it was working... at least somewhat. I was able to connect and back up
the Jornada, which is something like what I planned on doing... connecting
and restoring from the backup.

Sorry for necroing, but I'm curious as to how you made it work. I'd recently
found my old jornada 720, and would like to see if it works with win 7
(ultimate)

Thanks!
