zylo sync

[#1]

Can I sync my zylo with a laptop running windows 7 (i.e. not outlook)

[Dr_Chris]

Have you tried PC Companion?

Yes,  i have pc companion but the problem seems to be that windows live (the replacement program for windows outlook) is not compatible with pc companion when trying to sync calender, contacts etc. Outlook was replaced, I understand, with windows vista and subsequently windows 7.

Hi there, in order to sync using PC Companion you will require a copy of Outlook installed on your PC. While Windows Mail is built into later versions of Windows, Outlook can still be installed and used as the default mail client

Firstly, thank you, Alex and Dr_Chris for your prompt responses to my query. To be honest I kind of knew the answer myself but had the forlorn hope that Sony or Microsoft would (in the interests of customer service) have had a solution which was not going to cost extra to rectify. Microsoft will "sell" the program as an add on but my feeling is that if neither of these large companies can be bothered to provide support to back up their products I would not wish to make further contributions to their profits. Certainly the sort of "niggles" that influence future choices!
