Hi, Ray As far as I know, there's no reason why your flash cards shouldn't be completely transferable. Mine copied over from my classic running 3.06 to the mPower transplant running KS6.2. You could try copying files in ASCII text or rtf a and see if they work. As to your other problems, I'm afraid I can't help you there, though there are a lot of others on this list who use ActiveSync on a regular basis.

My wife just received her new Voice Note M-Power running Keysoft 7. She had a Voice Note classic running Keysoft 6.11. Since she had the Voice Note, she did not send her classic in for a transplant, she just bought a new unit per the advice of our Humanware distributor. She tried copying all of her keyword files, NOT THE DATABASES, over to a Compact Flash card from the classic, then inserting the Flash card into the M-Power to copy the files from the card to the M-Power. The classic copied the files onto the flash card no problem. The M-Power wouldn't recognize the flash card. It seems, based on our trying several compact flash cards that any card which has been used in the Voice Note classic won't be recognized by the M-Power. Does the classic do something to the flash cards that causes this? What, if anything can be done about it? I tried a normal reset on the M-Power, the JKL reset and the FDS reset and it didn't fix this problem. 2. We tried hooking my wife's new Voice Note M-Power up to our PC using Active Sync via USB connection. When we plugged the small end of her USB cable into the M-Power, plugged the larger end into the PC and tried connecting to Active Sync via USB, we got the sound that says it couldn't connect. Active Sync version is 3.8 and it is set to allow USB connections. We found, however, that the small end of the USB cable feels loose on the M-Power no matter which way we plug it in; it wobbles around. In comparison, the large end in the PC is tight and doesn't wobble. Therefore, we think it's possible that the USB cable isn't making a connection on the M-Power. Is there something we have to do with either a new cable or the USB host ports on the M-Power before using them for the first time? 3. As I have reported to you earlier, my Braille note M-Power running Keysoft 6.2 won't properly sync contact data from Microsoft Outlook XP to my Address List. Again, what happens is that the database records are created in the address list but no data is populated in them. I'm running Norton Internet Security with Personal Firewall turned on. I'm also running Windows XP Service Pack 2 and when I check Windows Firewall, it is set to allow exceptions and has keysync marked as an exception. I'm using the PC Keysync for Keysoft 6.2, and the M-Power which I am borrowing is running 6.2. We haven't tried my wife's Voice Note running Keysoft 7 yet; we want to get mine working first. Again, I'm running Active Sync 3.8. Could there be something in Norton Internet Security or Windows Firewall that is blocking Keysync when it tries copying Outlook contact data to the address list? I did try syncing after turning Personal Firewall off in Norton Internet Security and it still didn't work. Also, I am connecting to Active Sync via serial. Is there any settting in Outlook I need to check? Thanks, any help on these problems will be appreciated. We plan to call Tech Support about them on Monday but if we can get help from the mass of brain power on this list this weekend, that would be appreciated. *****All outgoing messages scanned using Norton Antivirus 2006***** Ray Campbell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote -- No virus found in this incoming message.
