Phone tools and windows 98 (first edition) won't connect to V600 via data cable

Basically as the title says, I've got a v600 and a motorola data cable
and phone tools. Have installed phone tools and tried to connect to
my phone but to no avail, it doesn't bring up a picture of the v600 on
the screen, just a generic motorola phone and can't detect it either.
The first time i installed phone tools i already had the phone
connected (having not read the instructions) would this be a problem?
I uninstalled it and started again but it didn't work. Google
mentioned a usbcdc.cat file that was missing on the first edition
windows 98 that may be needed so I've found that now but i don't know
the source directory for this to work (or even if it will).

I tried it on my dad's pc (running xp) and it worked like a charm, no
problems at all, will phone tools and the usb connection not work on
the older pc's running win 98 first edition?

Would a bluetooth dongle enable me to use it?

Any help is appreciated

cheers

David

I have the same problem with my v300, except that it doesn't work on
98 or XP. I get the generic phone, and it says that no modem is
installed - except that if I go to the device manager, it's definitely
there :-(

Win 98 has limited USB support, in the instructions somewhere it will say
Win98SE or newer to support full USB connectivity. I have TrueSync from my
old v60 (works nicely) but I can't find the driver to make it work with my
v600. It recognizes the phone then wants to load a driver I don't have. Any
ideas?

Thanks,

Mike
