Is your computer an Open Invitation for HACKERS? Download free version of Sparktrust Inspector to identify vulnerabilities and problems on your computer (and even your WEBSITES)!
I am using Windows XP. When I try to insert my N73 Nokia mobile data cable into the USB port, my mobile displays that the PC suite is activated, but there is no response from my computer. Can anyone help me?
Connecting the Nokia N73 to a PC
The Nokia N73 smart phone can connect to a compatible computer in one of three ways: the USB Nokia Connectivity cable, Bluetooth, and infrared. Of course, your computer will need to have a Bluetooth or infrared adapter in order to take advantage of the second two options. For now, let's concentrate on using the data cable since that's what you currently have.
First, your computer will need the Nokia Suites software if you don't already have it installed. Once you're sure the software is installed on your PC, go ahead and connect the Nokia phone to the PC using the supplied USB data cable.
Telling the Nokia it's Connected to the PC

Once the two devices are connected, press the menu button on your cell phone and choose Tools > Data Cable. This tells the smartphone that it is connected to the computer. From there, choose the purpose of the connection (PC Suite, Media Player, Mass Storage or Image Print).
Update Software
If the PC still doesn't recognize the device, consider updating both the Nokia's software as well as the computer's. Updates often solve known connectivity issues so it's worth trying. To update the phone's software, press the menu button and choose Tools > Device Manager > Options > Check for Updates. If an update is available, plan on updating it. Make sure that you have plenty of battery power or plug the phone into a power supply. Perform the update during a time when you do not need to use the phone. Next, go into the Nokia PC Suites software and check to see if updates are available for the software itself.
Update Nokia Device Drivers
Another possibility is that the phone's device drivers are not installed on your PC or the drivers have become corrupt. You can download new drivers from Nokia's Web site.
Finally, if the updating the software and device drivers doesn't work, it may be possible that the data cable is damaged. Inspect both ends to be sure that there aren't any bent pins. If you have several USB ports on your computer, try plugging the cable into different ports.
