You need to upgrade Outlook to a newer version. Else you won't be able to sync your BB with Outlook. There is now way around this. I haven't tried Desktop Manager 4.2.2 with BB Bold 9000, but I doubt it will work.
Thanks, I've now discovered that I can only use the back up and restore function.
I have also had a problem with personal the voice recorder. I need to send someone a recording and their PC will not open and play it. Any ideas on this?
