    I have a CA-42 cable, plugged both ends where they need to go, and
    pressed the "get connected" button in Nokia PC Suite, I am on the third
    step and the cursor is a mouse and a hourglass whe you put your mouse
    over the get connected box. I left it there overnight, and it STILL
    hasn't done anything.

    Can someone PLEASE help me?

    Try without PC Suite. You need to install the drivers for the CA-42
    cable, preferably before you plug in, and then check under My Computer,
    Control Panel, System, Harwdware/device manager. Under 'ports', do your
    cable drivers appear? Which com port has been assigned? This is usually
    a virtual com port - com 4, or above. This will tell you if the drivers
    have installed correctly and if the cable is connected OK.

    Then, download alternative software such as LogoManager Pro Suite from
    http://www.logomanager.co.uk/download.php

    Select CA-42 from the connection list in File, connection settings, and
    select the correct port. Your 3588i should now show as an 'active
    device' and you will be able to read in all the dat from the phone etc.

    Let me know how you get on.

    I got the driver from the Nokia website, and I installed it. I tried
    what you said, under device manager, only COM1 and the printer port are
    open.

    This is the link where I got the driver:

    I downloaded the exe.

    I installed it, and it still says no driver is installed for it.
    Whenever I take it out and connect it again, it says "Found New
    Hardware" and it asks if it can connect to Windows Update to search for
    a driver. When you tell it to go to the folder where the driver is, it
    doesn't work. If you say connect to Windows Update it says it doesn't
    find anything.

    Check that the drivers haven't installed somewhere else- in your device
    manager check all the lists as well as ports- any sign of the cable
    drivers? Try downloading them again- you are in the right place from
    the link you state. I am guessing you had already had the cable
    installed before installing the drivers, even if not whilst installing
    the drivers, and this is known to cause problems but I am unsure of how
    to fix them. I guess you will need to start talking to Nokia or your
    cable supplier.
