BlackBerry® Curve™

[KSR23]

I need help.  I recently bought the BB Curve 8330.  When I attempt to set up the sync configuations between Outlook and the BB, Outlook does not appear as a choice.  What do I need to do to get Outlook to appear?  I called Verizon customer service and they were not much help.  Please help.

I am running MS Vista 2007.

Have Verizon service.

BB Desktop Manager is version 4.3.0.17

Don't know if that helps.

Thank you.

HI,

On your Blackberry go to OPTIONS/ABOUT the OS version looks like 4.x.x.xxx.

On your outlook are you running any connectors (business, hotmail etc) ?

5. Close and open Blackberry Desktop Manager to perform the synchronization process again and Outlook will be in the list...

Vista commands

1. Right-Click on Command Prompt in Start Menu and choose Run as Administrator
2. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Research in Motion\Blackberry\IS71 Connectors\MS Outlook Connector by typing: c:\> CD program      files\research in motion\blackberry\is71 connectors\ms outlook connector

3. Then type in the command prompt, type: regsvr32 MsOutlookConnector.fil

4. If the registration is successful, the following message displays:
DllRegisterSErver in msoutlookconnector.fil succeeded.
5. Close and open Blackberry Desktop Manager to perform the synchronization process again and Outlook will be in the list...

If you receive the error message DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005 - you do not have admin rights. So, it's important that you run command prompt as admin. 

Let me know about the device and the version of desktop software.

4.3.0.17 is the version.

I use outlook to check my comcast email.  I am switching from using a Palm Pilot to using outlook as my calendar as well.  Does that answer your question about connectors?

I'll get back to you.

Thank you!

I tried to do what you said, but I'm a novice at this.  When I got to the command prompt, it said C:\windows\system32>.

What do I do?

Thank you for your patience.
