Default Blackberry desktop and Vista

Please Login to Remove!

Just got a nice new laptop with Vista. Vista has its own windows calendar and windows contacts. But The Blackberry software doesnt seem to recognise them and so i cant sync with that software?

any ideas or is it simply not possible?

If you can't find the windows calendar/contacts through BlackBerry DM when you try to configure the sync then it won't work.

Which BB DM are you running? I'm not entirely sure but if you are running the latest DM and the options aren't available. It's safe to say the software wasn't and hasn't been designed to work with Vista's native contacts and calendars.

Sorry don't know about the text messages. Out of curiosity, where was that option on your old laptop?

Most people use Outlook.
