Desktop Manager on Windows Vista.
Please Login to Remove!
Will the Desktop mananger just not run on Vista, or am I doing something wrong? I've tried downloading two versions off of the website (V4.0 and V4.3, I believe.) and I also tried using my Mom's BlackBerry disk she received when she got her BlackBerry from her Company. The downloads from the Website got errors at about 85% or so, and the Disk installed completely, but when I went to run it, it would "flash" on the screen for an instant, and wouldn't boot.
Any suggestions?

4.0 will not work on Vista.
4.2, Service Pack 2 will
4.3 will
Completely uninstall what you have installed. Download one of the above, from here:
BlackBerry Desktop Manager Downloads - BlackBerryFAQ
For your 8700c, you will be fine with 4.2, Service Pack 2, withOUT the Roxio Media Manager. You don't need that for the 8700.
Good luck. |

Maybe you need a clean uninstall of DM?

Then attempt a fresh install of 4.2 SP2. |

Try turning ON the UAC if you have it turned off. I did that and it worked fine. I am running 4.3 currently. Hope that works for you.

Sorry, but what is UAC, exactly?
Edit: Nevermind, I found out what it is. How do I access this?

Trying a clean uninstall of ALL you have installed. Start fresh with a DM install. See the link above.

I am running Vista and 4.3. First let me recomend not running 4.3 yet. I suggest what JSanders suggested a fresh install of 4.2 SP2. Be sure to totally delete DM first.
Run the install as an Administrator and once installed run DM as Administrator.

Had already started that, it's strange though, because it WAS working, but it seems the latest bout of Vista/Office 2007 updates broke it for some strange reason.
