 | active sync copies your outlook data and allows you to access and copy files to your Q.... you can search google to try to find the older version of active sync...you need active sync 3.7....

| Or you could just update Windows......Microsoft doesn't support Windows 98SE anymore, and they didn't have the Q in mind at all. I know this might not be a cost effective solution for you, but it might be a good idea for anything you try to combine with your PC in the future. |

| true...i think XP is under 99 bucks now a days....probably a better option all around.... XP is probably easier to update to than vista if your running 98SE
