    That device is running Windows Mobile 5 which is no longer supported (extended support ended in 2016)

    See if you can download what is required to the PC

    There are 3rd party sites but I rarely link to those because you might end up with malware.

    Many thanks.
    Drivers now installed & able to connect ipaq & pc.
    I’ve also installed Microsoft sync programme where a folder is created on the pc desktop & when I put files into it they are then put on pda.
    All sounds good so far as I only need this one piece of software to install / work.

    I browse on the pda & find the item but when I click in it I see a pop up message along the lines of no supported or installed programme to run it.
    The size of the file is shown but nothing happens.
    On the pc I double click the item to see the normal set up screen questions for installation.
    I then am able to use the software.
    This is what I need to happen on the PDA.
