SL-C860 Software/Sync Setup

[Ling]

Well, I am admitting defeat on my work machine. Domain security, etc. just puts it in the too hard box and I am out of time. I am going to try it on one of my many home machines where I am god (note the small g) and so permissions, etc. should not be a problem. I am pretty sure that permissions/policies or similar are hosing something up. By the time my IT staff gets around to helping me, I will have moved on to my next job. My goal is to get everything on my Z and use that as my one source of info. I wish that I had been able to get it to work as I would have packaged the files and written a how-to. It should not be this hard.

I feel for you mate, my newly acquired C860 was giving me a lot of hassle connecting to my work machine (fine at home though). It worked fine at first, but stopped, and despite repeated reboots the USB device was being detected, but it wouldn't see the driver or let me install one. I went through a procedure of trying to manually remove the driver references from the registry, but then discovered from another forum that it would probably kill my machine if I did. Then suddenly it randomly began working again. It's a lottery.

After discussion with on of our IT staff, I was able to get it to work. The key was to have them add my user account to the Administrators group. I completed the install and ran one sync as an administrator and then they removed me from the admin group. Now everything works smurfy. I am chuffed.
