Desktop Software for PC

[boondockbrendan]

I had to reformat my "wonderful" Inspiron 1525 and I'm wanting to reinstall Destop Manager, however, I can't find my original disk.  How do I go about reinstalling it?  Thanks in advance!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!

You can obtain the software here:

• http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/

• Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):

• KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization

It is also a good idea to download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:

• http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

Then Install DTM to your PC. Then Install (also to your PC) the device OS package and you should be good to go.

Good luck and let us know!

On the drop down menu that asks me to choose a product, I don't see anything for an 8330.  Do I pick the version that matches my BB?  My BB say v4.5.0.131

The first software download I pointed you to is the desktop software -- it is BB device independent (though probably a good idea to run a version that is at least as new as your BB version -- e.g., you have v4.5.0.131 on your BB, choose at least v4.5 of the DTM software). The only dependency for the version of DTM is the desktop PIM that you use...you must choose a version of DTM that is compatible with that (the second link I sent you). The third link...now that one is device dependent...it is a package, from your carrier, that contains the specifics of your BB device/OS and, when installed to the PC atop DTM, modifies DTM so that it can present you with specific updates tailored to your BB, OS, and carrier.

Hope that helps.
