Have you used that computer to transfer information before? If so, you don't need the CD if the DM is already installed.

If not, what version of Desktop Manager are you trying to download? Do you have administrative rights on the computer? What phone & operating system are you running on your Blackberry? What is the error you are getting?

You don't need 4.2. The desktop manager software version does not coincide with the Blackberry Operating System. Download 4.5 and see if that works for you. Make sure you uninstall any previous versions first, then do a restart of the computer, then install DM 4.5.

Did you download a version with the media manager? The downloads have versions with and without it.

This is beginning to happen to me quite a bit. I have to close out of, and restart, DM in order for it to start up correctly. It does take a few minutes but it will eventually work. I thought I was the only one who had this problem (on top of device problems LOL).
