Can get Blackberry Desktop Software to work on my new PC

Hi there,
I have just purchased a new HP PC, the OS is Windows 7 Home Premium. For some reason the latest version (6) or Blackberry Desktop Software does not work, I can only use the old version 5. Any idea?

Hi ljoessel
What happens when you try to install the BlackBerry Desktop Software?
Thanks

  • Blackberry Desktop Software - Stops working at the end of synchronization

    During synchronization, the same handful of calendar conflicts come up.  After clearing them, and at the very end of synchronization, I get a pop up that "Desktop Software stopped working"...info fades out and the only option is to hit a CLOSE button which shuts down the software. 
    I no longer receive the synchronization report and although most data does sync, I am trying to determine the cause of this.
    This is the only forum I can find.  I do not see a Blackberry support anywhere...

    Hello,
    What is the version of the BlackBerry Desktop Software?
    Have you tried to uninstall the Desktop Software and download and re-install the newest version of BlackBerry Desktop Software?
    BlackBerry Desktop Software:

    I have edited the post, the previous post indicated "Device" Software which was a typo for "Desktop" Software.

    thank you

    That seems to be supported only up through 10.5.7 and probably needs Rosetta for it to run.
    Rosetta is not included in 10.7.
    If this is the case, you may need to partition your hard drive, install Windows on it, and use that partition for your work.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software Not Working Error Message

    Hi All
    I have been having issues in getting my blakcberry desktop software for PC to open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled fully several times, and each time when i try and open the application (v7.01), it brings up a message saying 'Blakcberry Desktop Software has stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly, please close the program'.
    I have de-activated the windows checking for solutions to never, as i read this in another post, but that still doesnt solve it.
    I have windows 7 professional 64 bit on my laptop. Would appreciate a response on this, as i have to change my phone, and therefore need to sync etc asap.

  • Can't install desktop software--​error message

    When I first tried to install the desktop software from the disk that came with my phone, something went wrong and the installation was incomplete.  I am unable to uninstall and start over, however, because when I open the Add or Remove Programs feature in the control panel, no blackberry software comes up as an option to remove.
    When I try to initiate the intallation process again (whether by disk or by download), I get the following error message in a box that says "InstallShield" at the upper left:
    An error occurred while downloading the file http://saturn.installshield.com/is/prerequisites/m​icrosoft.net framework 2.0 sp1.prq.  What would you like to do?
    I then have the option to retry or cancel.  If I hit retry, I get the same message.  If I hit cancel, I get the message:
    An error occurred while downloading the file http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/8/c/08c19​fa4-4c4f4ffb-9d6c-150906578c9e/NetFx20SP1_x86.exe.  What would you like to do?
    Again, I have to option to retry or cancel.  If I hit cancel, I get the message:
    The files for installation requirement Nicrosoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 could not be found.  The installation will now stop.  This is probably due to a failed, or canceled download.
    This time, I can click Yes or No.
    Any suggestions how I can get the desktop software installed onto my computer?
    Thanks!
    Annie

    Yes Microsoft removed it from their site, that's why I linked to the other site where you can download it from. 
    In the past if the clean uninstall steps for the Desktop Manager didn't work, than the windows utility always did the trick

  • Blackberry Desktop Software (Roxio, specifical​ly) causes network problems and blue screens.

    I'm posting this note because I just solved my network issue/crash problems. I started experiencing lots of disconnects and page not found on my office computer over the past few days. Only thing I could think of that was different lately was that I installed the Blackberry Desktop Software. Then a huge lightbulb went on over my head. I remembered when it was installing, it said it was installing "Roxio" software and at that moment shivers went down my spine from past experiences.
         Well, I have lots of good "bad" experiences with Roxio CD software which had caused these same problems on two of my home computers. It caused blue screens when used in conjunction with my wireless Netgear card and also standard network card. The same symptoms including very slow internet access, general machine sluggishness, etc. I was trying to chase this down for months til I finally removed the Roxio crapware and ALL problems went away. No more slow machine, no more page not found and no more blue screens on two of my computers. Now, on a completely different Toshiba work laptop and different network adaptor, same problems.
         So, here we are again with Roxio as part of Blackberry Desktop software. I like my new Blackberrry 8830, but I have to pass this along to the Blackberry folks because I KNOW I'M RIGHT about this. I only installed the software so that I could type my contacts into Outlook and then download to my Blackberry. So, after realizing the common symptoms and after having completed my download (which worked great by the way), I removed the Blackberry Desktop Software and I'm back to speedy everything, no more pages not found, no more putty disconnects, and no more blue screens.
         I hope someone gets good use of this post because this drove me crazy the first time around.
    -- Jeff

    We had the same problem.
    We did extensive troubleshooting, and found the problem was effecting our new HP Windows XP .Laptops.
    We did not have any trouble with the Older Dell Latitude we have.
    We found the BSOD still happened after removing the Black Berry Desktop Manager Software.
    We traced it to a memroy / resource leak in the USB subsystem.
    The workaround we found is to go into the Device manager, and remove all the drivers from the USB section.
    ** Disclaimer :  This works for us, but may make your computer unusable.  Backup your data to external storage.
                   Back up your computer
                   Start -> control Panel -> system ->Hardware tab ->  Device manager.
                    Expand "Universal Serial Bus Controller"  at bottom of list.
                    Right click on each Item, and select "uninstall"
                    Don't reboot after each one.
                    * Remove ALL the entries under Universal Serial Bus Controllers *
                    Repeat until all the entries under  "Universe Serial Bus Controller" are removed
                    (there may be one that sticks, thats ok. so long as it has been uninstalled.
                Reboot.
                The OS will rebuild the USB stack and drivers to default.
    This has worked for us so far.
    We are not sure if this wont break something else.

  • Can't download Desktop Software for windows

    I had installed Desktop Software v.7.0 a few months ago but it kept freezing when syncing wiht my BB Curve 8300, so I decided to disinstall it and try to re-install.
    Now each time I try to install the software from RIM website https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22the the process stops because it claims that there is a previous version installed on my pc and it cannot be overrun. I can't find any file from DS V7.0 in my computer and I need a Desktop Software!!!

  • Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working

    Blackberry Torch 9850 on the Verizon Wireless Network
    Blackberry OS: 7.1 Bundle 1737 (v 7.1.0.580, Platform 5.1.0.429)
    Windows 7 Home Premium, SP11 with an full admin account
    HP Desktop computer
    For some unknown reason whenever I attempt to execute Blackberry Desktop Software version 7.1 the application returns the following error: "Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working: A problem caused the program and notify you if a solution is available." The last successful use of DM was on Sunday, October 7, 2012 when I synched my phone and did a backup of the device.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed the application; uninstalled Microsoft .Net Framework version 3.5 and 4.0 then re-installed .Net Framework; then re-installed DM under a new admin account and still getting the same problem. I even went as far as uninstalling Office and re-installing office and still getting the same problem. Whenever I uninstalled DM I did a manual uninstall where I removed all registry keys associated with Research in Motion including folders and still getting the same problem. I Googled the error and the articles worth reading I have already the things they mentioned.
    NOTE: I have done a lot more troubleshooting that is listed. But since I did so much to get this to work it will take me an entire novel to list all the things I have done to get this app to work again.
    Called VZW and they got me in contact with RIM. RIM did pretty much the same things I did and after spending 7 hours on the phone with them they concluded I need to reformat my drive. When the tech made that suggested I wanted to reach thru the phone and knock her teach out of her mouth. Suffice to say I am not able to get DM to work on my machine and there appears to be no apparent reason why the software will stop working. Not have DM work means I cannot synch my phone. I have one personal computer and I am not going to install DM on my laptop because it will do me no good since I need to synch it with Outlook which is on my personal desktop. I cannot install my personal copy of office on my work laptop because it will probably cause other issues.
    Anyone have any suggestions how I can get this application working on my desktop. It was working before and all of a sudden it stopped  working

  • Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1.0.35 fails to launch with "BlackBerry Desktop Software has stopped working"

    OS: Windows 7 32bit
    BB Desktop Manager version: 6.1.0.35
    I bought a new notebook a few days ago and tried to install the above software (latest version) from Blackberry's website. The whole thing installed fine but when I tried to launch it after installation, I get the message:
    "BlackBerry Desktop Software has stopped working"
    I tried the clean uninstall with removal of folders and registry entries, rebooting it, running regsvr32 atl.dll and then reinstalling it and still I have the same problem.
    I had experienced a similar issue with my previous computer which I fixed by changing the permission and ownership of two registry keys "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion" and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion". But this time round, I found that:
    1) There is no "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion"
    2) I can't find a  "Desktop.log" in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop" but I did find it in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop\Logs"
    And this what it says:

    Any suggestions? I am at my wits end after combing through this forum and other BB forums for the past few long days and nights.
    HELP!

    Well folks. I've had enough.
    The 9780 is a great phone, it's easy to use, practical and dependable. However, the Desktop Manager software has been giving me too many sleepless nights. On two occassions I must add: once at the end of last year when I bought it and only managed to solve it by myself after 4 weeks of trawling through online forums, blogs and other BB help sites and the recent one was last week when I tried to install it on my new Windows 7 notebook.
    I know this is not entirely the fault of RIM, Microsoft also has a part to play. But considering the state of technology these days, it shouldn't have to be so difficult. I want a phone and software that makes my life easier and not have to be a slave to it by trying days and nights to solve its problems.
    Hence, I have officially decom my phone and gotten an iPhone 4 instead. The switch ain't that difficult for me as I have always been platform neutral. As long it fits my needs, does it job well and doesn't give me too much headache, I'm cool with it.
    Ciao folks!

  • Can't install downloaded Blackberry Desktop software

    I downloaded the latest version of the BB 8100 desktop software from the BB site to my computer. It unzips OK but when it starts to install it stops every time. Have exited every Windows program first.  Any ideas? 

    Problem:
    Similar but not the same as errors 2738 1607 encountered with installing blackberry desktop manager software, there is no error message here, simply the WinZip Self Extractor completes, then the Installshield Wizard opens and appears to be installing.  After several seconds, a BlackBerry window opens (BlackBerry Desktop Software - Installshield Wizard) with the message: "The wizard was interrupted before the BlackBerry Desktop Software could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.    Click Finish to exit the wizard.
    Solution(s)
    Ok, saw this thread was un answered so I thought I would reply in case anyone out there has this issue too, it drove me mental for a week too.  (before you read on I am not responsible for any messed up computers, blackberries or anything at all! This  is a GUIDE that worked for me and not the law!) So, here we go… I tried many many things to fix this, I am on Vista home, berry 9700 bold 2, TELUS Mobility (doesn’t really matter), Blackberry handheld OS 5.0, Vista Desktop Manager 5.0.1. English without media manager/roxio w/Sp1 downloaded from blackberry. I tried just about everything you can imagine, know my way around computers reasonably well (or so my mom tells me haha) and uninstalled the previous version of desktop manager with REVO uninstaller etc...
    Some of the other things I tried that did NOT work for me but MAY WORK for you are as follows, what ultimately worked for me was step C and all sub sections of, I might start there but I am writing this in order of things I tried.
    Solution A) un/re registering vbscript.dll (in c:windows\system32) to no avail…click start, run cmd prompt (should open as admin),
    1. Start à Accessories à right-click Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator. A Windows Elevation confirmation screen will pop up. Confirm the action OR alternatively just run CMD from Start àrun à cmd and it should run as admin
    2. The Command Administrator Prompt opens to something like the following- C:\Windows\system32>. If anything else change directory by typing this without quotes: “cd\windows\system32”  
    1)     Now at the command prompt, which should be- C:\Windows\system32  unregister the vbscript.dll file from Windows by typing at the command prompt (without quotes) “regsvc32 /u vbscript32.dll” (This will un-register the VB Script dll with your computer. A confirmation window will appear after this)
    2)     Now we want to register it C:\Windows\system32 regsvr32 vbscript.dll (This registers VB Script with your computer -- a confirmation window will appear after this as well.)
    3)     Try rebooting and running your blackberry software install
    Solution B) Everything on this site : This Blackbery Forum Post (great post, thanks! Hey, you might learn something here that will come in handy one day if it doesn’t help you now, I did)
    Follow each step there, try rebooting and running your blackberry software install as indicated
    Solution B.Longshot) If A and B don’t work, you can try a repair of vista using the recover cd (if you don’t have one go here: neoSmart (I downloaded and burned image with aShampoo dvd burning software, restart windows with DVD/CD in the drive, press F12 on boot (or whatever gets YOU into ‘setup’, not the BIOS, change boot first device to CD/DVD ROM. I used this and it works perfectly, just follow their directions on the site and pick the right version for your OS etc) be *VERY*CAREFUL to NOT wipe your drive and just do a REPAIR (can take an hour), again if you don’t know what you are doing, skip this one and move on.
    What DID WORK for ME, is the following (SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT *** DO NOT ASSUME THAT USING AN UNINSTALLER LIKE REVO WILL DO ALL OF THIS FOR YOU - THIS WAS MY MISTAKE from the beginning, 25 hours later I realized that YOU NEED TO DO THE UNINSTALL AND SOME MANUAL STEPS EVEN IF YOU SELECT THE MOST THOROUGH***)
    This one, D, worked for me specifically:
    Solution D) Uninstall the BlackBerry Desktop Software, preferably using REVO UNINSTALLER  go:  HERE to get Revo (CNET)
    Use the Advanced uninstall option, thorough option, the last one down the list, this will notonly use blackberry’s built in uninstaller, but scan for remnants of the software on your drive and registry
    When prompted select all and delete everything it finds, do not skip any steps, reboot, try re-installing the blackberry desktop software
    You could try a similar type of uninstaller if you have one; however, I don’t recommend leaving it to using the control panel add/remove programs, I did not try this with that method
    Solution D part 2) Once you have uninstalled and rebooted
    - Delete the Research In Motion Folders from the hard drive AND Registry
    Browse to C:\program files\Research in Motion, delete this folder
    Click Start à Run.
    Type Regedit, and then click OK. (Please be careful here, only do this if you have a good idea what you are doing, you can really mess things up here, go slow carefully please please please)
    In Registry Editor, delete the Research In Motion folder located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\
    Delete the Research In Motion folder located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\   (This key will supposedly be missing if you are removing Desktop Manager version 4.0)
    Reboot, reinstall the Blackberry Software, issue SHOULD HOPEFULLY be resolved!! So there you have it. I am 99% sure one of those things will get you back on your feet....good luck,
    Good luck
    I can be reached at 6packs at live dot com if you spot an error I can fix, otherwise please post to the forums!

  • Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop...

    I have a Tour 9630 and just installed v6.0 and receiving an error window "Blackberry Desktop Software has stopped working. A problem as caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  I have not received any message from Windows after 2 days.  Has anyone experienced this problem?  If so, I would appreciate any guidance.  I have Windows 7, if that matters. Thank you. in advance.

    Hi somewhatstock
    How far did you get with them? Did they have any ideas what might be causing the problem? Trying to work on it myself, so trying to eliminate what others might have tried. Curious why it works on my Desktop however. Losing tethering really causes problems as I rely on tethering with my laptop quite a lot.  
    Any information most welcome,
    regards,
    John

  • Can't download Blackberry Desktop Software Version 6.0.1?

    Hi,
    I've just got a Blackberry Bold 9900, but only have Windows XP SP2 so cannot download 6.1.  When I select the download earlier versions section and go to download 6.0.1 it still brings up the page to download 6.1!
    How do I get around this?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    I just downloaded it from www.blackberry.com/desktopmanager and it works fine. Something is corrupting your download or causing it to be incomplete.
