Teresa:
Just went through this – has been a NIGHTMARE! Beware Blackberry users – if for some reason you cannot connect with Desktop Manager – there is NO OTHER way to backup or restore your phone!! My computer stopped recognizing my new Blackberry Curve. I went to AT&T store & got a new phone. So far my computer is finding it & Desktop Manager is working. It stopped working with my previous Curve – scary when ALL my contacts are backed up to it!! ANYHOW – AT&T customer support made it clear that they do NOT support version 4.7 found on the Blackberry site. Go to: http://www.att.com/bbdownloads and download version 4.6. See if that helps. If not…I suggest going to an AT&T store & make them give you a new phone!! I CANNOT believe as sophisticated as the Blackberry line is supposed to be – there is NO WAY to backup your contacts EXCEPT through Desktop Manager!! Very disappointing!

Go to Start\Programs\Accessories
Right Click Command Prompt and Run as Administrator
Type C:\Windows\System32 if not already there
Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll
Close the Command Prompt

This has worked for many but not for me. Hope it works for you.

Yeah, I’m having an issue when installing the BDM software on Vista Home Premium. There are 4 DLL files that don’t seem to install. I even downloaded the latest version of the software from the site and still get the same errors. All I really want to do is be able to sync my contacts from desktop to phone. If anyone has any ideas on what to do, shoot me an email.

Hallo:
I can not install Desktop Manager version 4.3 in my PC (with windows vista home premium).
During the installation apears this message: “Could not access VBScript run time for custom action”
Has anyone of you the same problem?
I tried to install version 4.2 Service pack 2 and had the same problem.
Thank you for your help.
