Ok according to microsoft it's possible to do an active desktop with your pocket pc if you have winxp.

My latptop has WinXP

I have a HP IPAQ 1910

And I have to do this over the activesync cable which is possible

however i can't find a link to the software through microsoft.com

and i can't find the program on my PDA.. any suggestions?

I remember reading that as well, but it doesn't seem to be supported by microsoft.

It can be done with VNC Server on your Windows box, and a Pocket PC compatible VNC Viewer... however I've never tried it over the activesync cable. In order to use VNC you have to have a TCP/IP network between your devices. I'm not sure how to do that over an activesync cable, just bluetooth and wifi. But I'm sure there is a way.

Just out of curiosity, why would you even want to? It isn't like the activesync cord is very long, and the windows desktop is kinda cumbersome to control from your pocket pc. Since you are going to be so close to your laptop anyway, why not just use your laptop?

    • hi my Hard drive has only got 100 gig left on it

      You might want to update to 1TB drive.  They are not very expensive these days, there are plenty of options - simple look I would think you could find a 1TB ssd or even nvme somewhere between 50 and 100 bucks. when I have moved to larger ssds in laptop in the past, you can just connect the drive via usb - image.  Then take the old drive out, put in the new drive and there you go..  If your concerned about how much space you have left this prob your best bet..
