+AWDPolaris Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 This doesnt really have much to do with geocaching but i want to use a Cassiopeia E-100 for paperless caching but i cant get the computer to even recognize that it is there. I am useing a usb cradle and windows XP. I went to the help menu and i tried all the possible things that it says is the problem and none worked. Can anyone help me? Quote Link to comment
+Steel City Seekers Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 The first step -- you didn't mention whether or not you did this -- is to load the ActiveSync program onto your PC. It should be on the CD that accompanies the device. If not, you can download it from PocketPC.com. The E-100 is a rather old device, however, so you'll want to make sure the version you download is compatible. There should be a link to tell you this. Download and install, then attach the USB, then dock the E-100. It should recognize it and allow you to sync. The E-100 runs Windows CE 2.0, I think. A program like GPXSonar requires at least the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system, which is newer. Not sure about Cachemate, though. I think it supports older operating systems. There are other solutions as well, such as downloading .gpx files into ebooks that some people like. I don't know much about that, though. Maybe someone else can help . . . Quote Link to comment
+AWDPolaris Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 Ok thank you. I am useing activesync 4.1 at the moment. Do you know if it is capatable with E-100?? Quote Link to comment
+Steel City Seekers Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 In looking at the Microsoft site, it says that AS 4.1 is compatable with the 2002 Operating System and newer. Yours is older than this, so I'm thinking 4.1 is a no-go. I looked up the E-100 and it comes with Windows CE 2.11. I found some resources that said AS 3.5 would work, but I couldn't find anything that would link me to a download. I did find where AS 3.8 is supposed to be an upgrade to 3.5, but couldn't find where it listed supported operating systems at all. I did find a link to AS 3.8 at: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/dow...tivesync38.mspx It doesn't specifically say that it works for CE 2.11, but I'd give it a shot. If this doesn't work, let me know. I used to use an E-125 and still have the CDs for it including the AS program. I imagine whatever version it is would support the E-100, and I'd e-mail it to you if you wish. Try the 3.8 first, though, as I think it might work okay. Quote Link to comment
