I have a similar problem ever since I upgraded PC-Suite to ver. 7.1.40.1 - prior to upgrade PC-Suite functioned normally (in it's partial manner).

I'm using Windows 7 PRO x64 with Data Cable CA-101.

I can no longer connect my phone to the PC in PC-Suite-MODE (it still connects in Mass-Storage-MODE).
When plugging the cable I get the following message (by the OS):
"Device driver software was not successfully installed".

Clicking the error baloon brings up a list of 5 drivers:
- Nokia N900 USB Phone Parent (Ready to use)
- Generic Phone (No Driver Found)
- PC Suite Services (No Driver Found)
- SYNCML-SYNC (No Driver Found)
- Nokia N900 USB Modem (Ready to use)

In Device Manager (Windows) the three "No Driver Found" devices are shown with an exclamation mark.

Attempt to locate and install driver software manually (pointing to PC-Suite's location on hard-drive) gives the following message:
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it."
(Nokia N900 USB OBEX/Nokia N900 USB Generic)


I've attempted to uninstall all NOKIA software and ran the PC Suite CLEANER. However, sub-sequent re-install (including older versions) didn't help.
All installations were also attempted in XP-SP2 compatibility mode and Run as Administrator was checked.

Interesting to note that the phone still connects to my Laptop after a similar upgrade. The Laptop is running XP-SP2!
So it certainly looks possible that this is a Windows7 drivers issue but in my case only with the new PC-Suite.

Have anyone found a solution to this PC-Suite issue?

how to sync CONVERSATIONS using pc suite? has anybody done it

problem i have is, only contacts are loaded from n900, messages plus calendar don't show anything

Re: Sync N900 with Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1
 

just stick to the previous version. Seems like Nokia still haven't fixed this issue with new version. I had similar problem as well as other folk did then, and i see it is still happening jeezz!
Ur not missing out on anything neway, its not like the new version looks fancier or anything. Its jst the same looking app but updated but ashame it doesnt work with the n900 still.

Hi all,,

Can any tel me how to export all my conversations onto my PC? I've tried doing it from Nokia PC suite 7.1 but no luck. I've also tried taking back up of my Nokia N900 still no luck.

Please assist and help me on this.

You can first create a backup on the N900. Then connect the N900 to your PC via mass storage mode. You should see a backup folder on the N900 which you can then transfer onto your pc (make sure that you can view hidden folders). Hope this helps.
