    I can't get my Blackberry to sync with BB desktop software in an XP Virtual Machine...Xp does however recognize the Blackberry, just the BB Desktop Software won't recognize the BB. Something is missing. I've tried it all, believe me :cool: Except that one mysterious trick I'm hoping will pop up here! :rolleyes:

    Long story short....I installed Outlook 2007 in the XP virtual machine. I installed the Funambol Outlook plugin to sync Outlook with my ScheduleWorld account.

    On the Blackberry side, I installed Funambol specially written for ScheduleWorld syncing found here: http://wiki.scheduleworld.com/wiki/BlackBerry_Configuration#Funambol_ScheduleWorld_Edition

    So I guess you get it....BB syncs over the air with SW, Outlook syncs (over the air) with SW. Two way sync'ing all the way. They stay the same.

    Outlook syncs with Google Calendar, then...well, you get the picture ;)

    It's Cheap because I didn't put any sweat into it to do this with Evolution like many have, and it's Dirty because Windows makes it happen... :eek: :cool:
    FWIW
