hello to all.....

i know that some time ago the firmware upgrade on a Windows Mobile phone was available only on Windows XP and ActiveSync.

Now that Windows Vista are almost a year alive........activesync died and Windows Mobile Devive Center took its place.

i correctly synchronize my Atom Exec via USB and the firmware upgrade procedure starts.......

after a while the bar isnt loaded at all and an emergency window tells me that
''no download target found''

any ideas what the problem is?

You should use a program that create a virtual machine, install winXP on that virtual machine, and upgrade from it, as we don't have an upgrade program that can run on win vista. :)
