Problem connecting Nokia phone to PC
I can't connect my Nokia 6200 mobile phone to my Vista Home Premium PC
after installing Nokia PC Suite. I'm sure that I'm using the correct data cable (CA-42) and version of PC Suite (6.83.14.1). Each time I try to connect, the following occurs: 1. A message appears, 'Windows needs to install driver software for your unknown device'. The default choice is, 'Locate and install driver software' which I select. 2. I then receive an error message, 'This file does not have a program association with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Association Control Panel'. The title bar for the error message is C:\Windows\System32\newdev.exe What does this message mean? Why do I need to create an association to install a driver? How do I do this? I'm very confused about this. What should I do? Thank you. Barney |

Contact Nokia support. It sounds like you either have the wrong driver
type, version, or that it's not Vista compatible. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * NEW!

Problem connecting Nokia phone to PC
You are following the sequence of installing the PC Suite before
plugging in the CA42 cable and only plugging that in when told to by the installation procedure or after it finishes? This is the normal procedure with USB devices in order to get installed the driver for the USB to Serial converter in the cable. I've never succeeded in getting my Nokia 3120c phone connected under XP or under VISTA using the earlier DKU-5 cable although mine is not a Nokia made cable ....... BTW Your CA-42 is a Nokia cable and not a third party cable of the same designation? This can matter since they can have different converter chips in them needing different drivers although I found the driver for my chip and that did not help -- I could see the cable coverter in Device Manager but the PC Suite never saw the phone when it was connected. If you work it out please let us know. |

I have seen the same problem with WMDC. THis is the 3rd time it has stopped
working on Vista64 Ultimate. Seems my HTC device or ATT-tilt phone is recognized by USB, and Sync Center has it as a guest, but there is no way to connected it. When I launch WMDC, I get a popup "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel." "C:\Windows\WindowsMobile\wmdc.exe". If I knew what associations it wanted I would go into the File Explorer and set them up. I have read in other forums that when revert the WMDC update 6.1 - 6.0 that this conflicts with the WPD driver and there is no fix. I have been waiting 3 months for this to be fixed and I am still waiting. Maybe next year." -- SQA "huwyngr" wrote: You are following the sequence of installing the PC Suite before plugging in the CA42 cable and only plugging that in when told to by the installation procedure or after it finishes?
