Get The Phone, It's For Me

Started to try to do things with my new phone. I was reading the instruction booklet and it mentioned some software on line that could be used with the phone. I went to the Sony Ericsson site and looked up the software under on the Support Page. There it was. The PC Suite software. I downloaded it and clicked on the .exe file. It started to install. And then......Error 1935. AARGH!!!



If it doesn't work the first time certainly the second time will work. Nope! It doesn't. Maybe the third time will be a charm. It wasn't. How about a fourth time. Better yet, how about a different plan of action. Google to the rescue. Hmmmm! Quite a list for that error message. Time to start reading and figuring this thing out.



Found one that made sense. Finally. Here it is on allaboutsymbian.com. It suggested disabling the spyware program. I did that and did a reinstall. Viola! It worked. By the way I found one that wasn't worth 2 cents; not even 1 cent. I found it on the MSDN site.



After I got the software installed and working I decided to try it out. Aaargh!!! The software works, but.......I need a special USB data cable for the phone. Of course, none of mine will work. Back to Google and the search begins again. here it is---DCU-60; Data Cable USB-60. I found them on Amazon like for real cheap. Gee! The shipping is more than the cable. I might go that route.



At least I did my lesson plans before I got started with the download. It was after 10:00 PM by the time I finally finished.



By the way, I did remember to turn on all of my security software after the install. So I shouldn't have to go down that road again.
