SubjectCellphone data cables - hellish little things. Reply to this message

Ok,
So my girl got a Nokia 6101, and some generic data cable, that i donīt know the brand, or anything.
But since it was free, i canīt complain, right ? WRONG!

How the hell do i install the damn thing ?
The cable is a Nokia CA-42, so i got the drivers for that, from Nokia CA-42, but when i plug the cable in, it only looks for USB-UART, so i didnīt know what to install, so i tried running the file i got from nokia, and it did warn me that i needed SP1 (why the hell ?, btw her computer is running WinXP, without SP), but it did let me install the thing anyway ?
But it didnīt do a damn thing, it was like it was never installed, and this USB-UART thing stays on my hardware manager as a conflict device.

Any clues ?

A idiot proof guide, would be killer.

If i read correctly, even after getting the cable and phone recognized, i need a program ? (Nokia PC something) to get the photos from her phone to her computer ? whythehell ?

Man, this kinda of thing, just makes me love my generic mp3 player even more.

WHY the fuck doesnt every maker uses the same generic shit that pen drives uses ?

to hell with it.

But anyway, any help is appreciated.

First off why still run no SP anything of windows?

second try some of this

http://europe.nokia.com/A4144723

http://www.nokiausa.com/support/phones/pcsoftware/1,8146,6101,00.html

Not sure if its the same thing and its probably lacking some hacking ability but should transfer almost anything legal to and from the phone
