spb files,windows and Speedypc

[tomiso]

my windows vista home premium doesn't recognise .pcb files from my galaxy ace phone. I'm trying to save and sync contacts without a lot of success. while searching for info I was directed to a 'SpeedyPC ' prog which says it will sort my registry as windows should read .pcb files. Anybody used this prog? Anybody had this problem ?

Hi,

 

I have deleted the duplicate post.

 

Under no circumstances us any software to modify the registry.

It can do more harm than good.

I'll agree with Ken on "SpeedyPC" as far as syncing contacts etc are you using Samsungs own software Samsung Keis this will do the job of syncing and backing up contacts etc

thanks for promt replies.

 

I was wary about changing registry, but not sure of next step. I've been using Kies after 3 or 4 attempts finally downloaded. it then creates the spb files, i've modified contacts in Kies and then put back on phone and they have changed again, losing some numbers and recreating duplication. I'm not impressed with Kies and would prefer to transfer the spb files to a spreadsheet ( csv files I think). Unfortunatly the galaxy ace phone is only recognised by my computer when kies is running. so

should windows recognise psb files? i've some psb files in kies with numbers deleted elsewhere

You could try going to device manager and uninstalling the driver for the phone then re plugging the phone in and re downloading the driver , also make sure you have the phone set up for file transfer

When i first plugged the phone windows would not suggest a driver. the windows web site did not list the phone. samsung allows you to identify your phone but the download is the whole kies package

I dont understand what you mean by "the phone set up for file transfer[/

Am assuming your phone is a Android phone , when you plug in a Android phone to a PC , on the phone itself you get the option to use the phone for file transfers etc , or using the phone to tether to the pc like modem .

when i plug the phone into the computer, aheader appears briefly on the phone 'usb connection made' .If Kies active then it connects otherwise nothing. I have not yet used the tethering option, but have used wi fi connection from my existing modem.
