I tried installing the driver to my dell 8400 xp pro and it doesnt' show
that it's installed. The PDF manual says i should be seeing the below
statement.
"For a CA-42 cable: check that Nokia CA-42 USB Phone Parent is present under
Wireless Communication Devices. Check also that Nokia CA-42 USB (COMxx)
is present under Ports."
Is there somethning i can do to get this installed?
Thanks,
Tony

Tony, I have just installed one of these CA-42 cables today, and I noticed
more than one difference between the installation guide and real life.
This is what I eventually found to work.
I uninstalled any and all Nokia drivers that I found under Add/Remove
Programs.
I uninstalled Nokia PC Suite.
Rebooted machine with NO Data Cable plugged into machine.
Installed Nokia CA-42 driver.
Plugged cable into PC. (Windows did not notice any new hardware added)
Plugged cable into phone. (Windows saw new devices present, and after a
minute or so Windows reported that it had found and installed the drivers
automatically.)
I installed Nokia PC Suite.
I went into connection manager and selected CA-42 only.
From that point on it has worked absolutely flawlessly.
Hope that helps you.
Don
