Nokia Connectivity Cable DKU-2 driver

[BryanChung]

Help ... I have been trying to install my Nokia Connectivity Cable DKU-2 to connect my Nokia 6680 to my PC. But it seems giving me this error (screenshot) ... have uninstalled it and clean the registry but still that error prompt. Is there other way to go about this?

When I plug in my data cable to my phone, Windows XP shows "Nokia 6680 found" ... this means that my data cable is actually working. But I do not have a proper driver to install. And because what Nokia provides is a .EXE (Nokia_Conn_Cable_Driver_150_2_eng.exe) ... there isn't a way I can get pass the above error.

Is there just a driver alone that I can install?

You haven't installed Nokia PC Suite on your computer yet, right? I hope not ...

You're meant to install the DKU-2 Drivers FIRST (on a WinXP SP2 machine).

Then install Nokia PC Suite.

Then connect your phone to the PC via DKU-2.

What did you install, and in what order ... may I ask?

[BryanChung]

I installed PC suite then the Drivers ...

from another forum, I saw someone posting ......

Try this:

- Uninstall PC Suite

- Uninstall the Nokia Connectivity Cable drivers, too

- Reboot

- Use the register cleaner to clean up any "left-overs": http://nds2.nokia.com/files/support...r_Clean_2_1.exe

- In "c:\Documents and Settings", under your profile directory and ".\Application Data" delete any "Nokia" or "PC Suite" directories, subdirectories & files (the sync status/data is there).

- Reinstall 6.6.

- If you use the USB cable, plug in the phone and wait until Plug & Pray detects the phone and installs the drivers (and notifies that "Your new hardware is ready for use").

So I am trying it now ...

Have you tried the new Nokia PC Suite 6.6?

[wutang01]

Make sure you install the DKU-2 drivers before the PC Suite.

Nokia emphasised that point so many times on their web site ...

okie

[BryanChung]

I have installed the Nokia_Conn_Cable_Driver software then PC Suite ... but my computer still cannot find another driver for Nokia 6680 when "new hardware detected" ... where is the drivers located?

[wutang01]

Click on the "New Hardware Detected" bubble.

A new window will come up, asking for drivers.

Select "Install the software automatically" ...

Let the computer search for it automatically ... cause its located somewhere in C:\

Let it search for awhile, and it should find it eventually.

You will get quite a few of these "Hardware Update Wizard" ...

[BryanChung]

well the sad thing is ...

[wutang01]

Ok, wait up ... let me research this.

Installation of Nokia 6680 drivers shouldn't be any different to my 7610....

Did you use the "register cleaner"?

Edit: 6680, my bad ...

[BryanChung]

errr Nokia 6680.

[wutang01]

The DKU-2 Driver you're installing ... is it from the CD that came with your phone, or from the Internet?

[BryanChung]

I tried both but also problem.

[wutang01]

Ok, you have the DKU-2 drivers installed already, right?

Have you installed the PC Suite 6.6 afterwards?

If no, do so now ... cause in the PC Suite, there's a little app called "Nokia Connection Wizard as shown in the attached pic.

It'll help you establish a connection via Irda, Bluetooth or Cable.

Edit: Wrong pic, hold on

[BryanChung]

ok installing the driver ... Nokia_Conn_Cable_Driver_150_2_eng.exe ... now

[BryanChung]

See it always shows me the screenshot when I run Nokia_Conn_Cable_Driver_150_2_eng.exe

Is there any way around this?

[wutang01]

Is it trying to uninstall an older version of the DKU-2 Driver?

If it is, try removing the version through Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel ...

I think I got this error msg b4 ...

[BryanChung]

I did. And it's not even in Add/Remove Programs

[wutang01]

I found it ... I think the DKU-2 Drivers are installed to here:

C:\Program Files\Nokia\Connectivity Cable Driver

See if that helps ~

[BryanChung]

Already cleared. but can't work.

[BryanChung]

Is it possible that you just send me your drivers in your computer? And I will update/locate it in the Hardware Found part manually?

Guys.. it says on the NOKIA page that the driver for the cable is already included in PC SUITE...

[wutang01]

Oh, I wouldn't have know that ... cause I simply just did an upgrade from 6.1 -> 6.2 -> 6.4 -> 6.5 -> 6.6

Nokia now includes the cable driver in their PC Suites now? Hmm ...

[BryanChung]
