You should have a usb cable that either come with your Pocket Pc or you may have to buy one, so both machines can connect to eachother. Also if you have any software you will need to install this.
Hope this helps

This is more of an ActiveSync problem than an iPaq problem. Don't you just click "Resolve items" and ActiveSync either updates your handheld or the PC depending on which one you choose to get precedence?

Really maybe you don't know a lot of fixya in the philippines. Try to send your device here in Dipolog City.

Well i also have a z530i and my screen broke . my bluetooth hasnt done that and i dont have a problem wiht my nokia 6233 or my n95. but i suggest you look on your infared settings and then turn it off IF it is on . then go back onto bluetooth or go on your shortcuts ( bottom left button ) and click bluetooth . if this doesnt work , just take it to a shop and ask for there suggestion.

If I understand your setup, the computer's got the internet connection, and you want to bluetooth your wife's iPaq to the computer and through it out to the internet? And you've managed to pair the iPaq and the computer? Have you set up a pass-through relationship on the computer using ActiveSync? Good luck.

Active Sync will work with many version of outlook. Your PDA interfaces with Active Sync. Certain versions of Windows Mobile software and/or PDA's require higher versions of active sync to sync correctly.

no, neither a trackball, nor a mouse can bne used with an iPAQ. The only mouse to be used with iPAQs is a bluetooth mouse.

here is a guide which might help? http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=449

first try soft resetting your Ipaq, and restarting your PC.

A hard reset will get it back for you, but you will lose your data. So either backup first, then restore it. Or sync to PC and back if it's just OUTLOOK data.

Try the following.... Open Active sync on your PC. Double Click on Calendar. Change the settings such that it syncs only 0 past and 0 future appointments. SYNC (this will clear all calendar items on the IPAQ) Now go back in to those Calendar settings, and set it back to the default which is 2 past weeks and All Future appointments. SYNC (this will now reload all appointments into your Ipaq)

The problem was in the HP ProtectTools security aplication. After disable the aplication and do a hard reset the bluetooth works. I had see that after the hard reset begins a process where some HP software are installed again. One of these software is the Broadcom driver of the Wifi/BT (You can see it for two seconds in the top bar). I think that the ProtectTools blocks some file upgrade (DLL, Exe, config file, etc.) that causes the problem. After solve the problem I have restored a full system backup done before disable the ProtectTools and do the hard reset, and all still works fine. I hope this can help you.
