BB Desktop Software on Windows 7 beta

I got a new Blackberry Storm and am having a difficult time tryig to install the drivers AND the desktop software ( Media Manager) that comes with it on my HP comp using Windows 7 beta. It DID install easily on my Gateway Laptop with the same Windows 7 beta  ? ?     Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

Hi and welcome to the forums!
I am not at all familiar with Windows 7 beta.
If it comes with a Windows update function you can try the following
that works on XP and Vista machines.
Thanks,
Bifocals
1) Power the PC off and then on so it boots cleanly
2) Plug the USB cable into the BB and into the PC
3) Run Windows Update on the PC
4) Windows should find the correct driver for the BB and install it.
5) Disconnect the BB and reboot.
6) Connect the BB, open My Computer and the media card should
be reflected as a removable drive.
7) If you can see the device correctly, then unplug the BB start DM and
reconnect the BB and Configure synch.

  • Sync BB desktop software with Windows 7 64 bit

    Dear Friends, I am rally stuck here. I just bought a new laptop with MS office 10 and windows 7, 64 bit. I was earleir using xp and was able to sync my phone with laptop very easily. Now after buying the laptop I just realised that I am not able to sync my BB software and my phone and not able to transfer my data to my laptop.
    I tried downloading outlook but it is not getting done, sighting, not possible. I also tried syncing with Morzilla and windows live as well But the desktop software  just not identifying neither of them.
    Can some one please help me here, in how to sync my phone to my laptop with windows 7 and transfer my contacts and calender on to my laptop.
    Other wise I will have to throw away my BB and buy some other phone.
    Regards
    rohit

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    First off, you must have installed one of the compatible Desktop Organizer apps:
    KB12268Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows for synchronization
    Attempting to use anything NOT on that list will, of course, fail.
    Secondly, you must have not have Outlook installed as "Click To Run":
    KB24040 Support for Microsoft Office 2010 Click-to-Run installation
    If you have it installed in that manner, you must correct that.
    I have no idea how your prior machine was configured, but I know 100% that you can synchronize to a Win7X64 Laptop with Outlook 2010...I do it all the time.
    Good luck!

  • Blackberry Desktop Software with Windows 7 and Office 10

    I am having synchronization issues with Blackberry Desktop Software running in Windows 7 with Office/Outlook 2010 (Beta).  I get this error message: "No available message structure" when I try to set up the synchronization. I can't find this error message in any on line guide. Any ideas?

    Was it working before or it's never worked?
    I don't see Outlook 2010 as being supported yet on the system requirements page for the Desktop Manager

  • Anti-Virus Software for Windows Vista Beta 2 Preview-

    As many of you with MacBooks and MacBook Pros are already installing Windows Vista Beta 2, you may have forgotten about Anti-Virus/Internet Security software. Microsoft is offering Free Anti-Virus and Internet Security software from it's partners that work with Windows Vista. Here is the link: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/viruses/wsc/en-us/windowsvistabeta2.msp x
    The Trend Micro looks a bit more promising, as it is their Internet Security Suite, and not just the Ant-Virus, as is from eTrust.
    I will be installing this onto one of my Windows Machines soon, and will post back on how they work. Hope this helps anyone installing the Windows Vista Beta Preview 2.

    Hi SkipHaughay,
    As far as I know Parallels does not support Windows Vista at this time. Vista must be installed over Windows XP on Boot Camp. IF you do install through Boot Camp, I hear that everything works except for sound and wireless I believe. Hope this helps.

  • Desktop software causes Windows 7 to crash

    I have been using Desktop Software for ages now, very successfully on the Windows XP Pro platform.  I have now changed to Windows 7 Pro.  Although I have downloaded and installed the latest Desktop software build, which is supposed to be Windows 7-compatible, it is certainly not on my machine.
    What happens is this:  When I first install the Desktop software, and start it, and use it to sync with Outlook, it works fine.  Eventually of course I shut down the computer at the end of the session.
    The problem occurs when I next trry to boot up.  Every time I do this I get a blue screen crash long before any welcome screen appears.  The blue screen doesn't last long enough for me to read what it says but the effect is clear - no boot until a repair of some sort is done.  I have found that the only way to achieve a successful boot after this is to take the repair option and then the restore option to a time before installing the Blackberry Desktop software.
    This has happened so many times now, with other software and hardware being installed at different times perfectly successfully.  Only Blackberry Desktiop software causes these crashes.  I have gone through this process at least a dozen times now, all with exactly the same effect.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here?

    ive recently run into this problem as well with windows 7 on my gf's pc. both got 9700 bold's mine worked out fine with vista, but her comppy wont boot. bout as far as i can get from school is to walk her through booting into safe mode to uninstall the bb app til i can get home lol.. kinda screwwy that i cant really find much useful information about it in the past hour or so
    about the only thing that has shown up was a 'problem signature 07' screen saying badpatch.. apparently no decent error code to lookup.. help!

  • Desktop software and windows 8

    When I launch desktop software (6.0 bundle 2647), it does not find my Torch 9800.  I am using Windows 8, 64 bit.  How can I sync my Outlook with my Bberry??

    HI and Welcome to the Community!
    Please refer to this to be sure you've properly done what is required:
    KB32926 Support for BlackBerry Desktop Software on Microsoft Windows 8
    Also, this might be helpful:
    KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
    Otherwise, I would suggest this thread:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
    It starts with a process for cleanly starting over (though I've no idea how to modify the instructions for Windows 8), and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, but those likely won't work for you given Windows 8. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
    Good luck!

  • Desktop software and Windows xp

    Hi, can anyone help me I am trying to download the drivers for the desktop software but it is not working. I am running windows xp sp3 32 bit. and a BB Torch 9800. I have uninstalled my previous BB desktop software and was hoping by installing a newer/different version that I might finally be able to sync my BB with my desktop.
    Thank you

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Sadly, from merely "it is not working", there is little to deduce...you'd need to tell us exactly the steps you attempt and exactly the results of each step, including the exact and complete content of any error messages presented to you. But, from "it is not working", there really is no way to make any sort of guess that would help you.
    Nevertheless, perhaps some of the things in this thread will be of use to you:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...

    Hello Mech7010, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
    The E2 was discontinued many years ago - I'm surprised you found a "brand new" one...
    Palm Desktop 6.2 does run on Win8.  Please view the sticky post at the top of this section titled, "64bit Windows USB drivers for Palm Desktop".   You will need to download and install new drivers.  Follow the directions in the post.

  • Palm desktop software for windows 7

    I have been using the palm software for the past 10 years and I love it. I see palm is not developing any software for windows 7. can anyone suggest what other software contact mgmt companies have to offer ? outlook does not have the same featues as palm. I am currently using 6.2.2 palm trial  software without syncing to a device. i am afraid to use this software in future if i am not able to sync with any other device. 
    please help
    thank you
    Post relates to: Palm m505

    I too have been using Palm OS software forever, and upgraded my device to a Tungsten E2 several years ago. I just installed the software for Windows 7 64 bit (version 6.2) and all works without problems. The only thing I lost was the color coding of the customized categories I'd created. Synching works with either Bluetooth OR on my older PC's I can keep using the cable synch and original software version (4.1.4) that I've always been using. Not sure it this reassures you or not . . .
