if only i understood any of this lol but thanks man!

seems complicated...wish it were a lot simpler.

alright i'm having a issue with lgnpst not recognizing the phone. i had the same issue with my vx1000 doing it and it turns out there was a dll installer that needed to be ran for lgnpst to recognise the LG Voyager phone.

does anyone have that for the vx8560? or is there a way around it, thanks for any help
