Thanks Sponka,
but it is the latest (3.0.0.284) that I have tried to use - it installed fine, but syncing just isn't working properly. My original intention was to use Ovi Suite for backups and downloading maps + syncing my contact to my Nokia account (if all else fails). I am sure somehow it is a driver issue on XP - tried running PC Suite cleanup (since I started out with that one) and PC Suite cleanup just crashed.
