Hi,
I've just got a Pearl 8100 through my company, and for reasons I won't bore you with here, it won't be getting any BES or BIS service for the forseeable future, its literally just being used a phone, plus any local synchronisation that can be done to my laptop.
Using the Desktop Manager software v4.3 (has to be this as I'm using Lotus Notes 8) I've managed to get it to sync my contacts, tasks and calendar, and so far that is working well. However I have three issues...
- I selected the BES installation option as its the closest to what I need, but desktop manager starts it tries to connect to my BES and asks for server address, details, etc - obviously there are none, I just want it to synchronise locally - can I stop this from appearing?
- I selected the option for desktop manager to both start automatically when Windows starts. I would happy for desktop manager to load in the system tray or as a service, but it opens in the middle of my screen, pops up the connection prompts as per my previous point, and then I only seem to be able to minimise it to my taskbar - an unwelcome presence. Can it run 'in the background'?
- Finally I selected the option for it to syncrhonise automatically whenever the blackberry is connected, but even if I have the desktop manager software running, it doesn't synchronise and I have to do it manually. Plus it requests that I accept and reject all changes - surely the synchronisation priority I have set should take of such decisions?
Would appreciate any support you are able to offer.
Many thanks,
Dave
