I've just bought myself a HTC Magic three days ago and it really is a great phone - however I'm standing a situation that is a bit of a downside of the phone - I can't install HTC Sync on my computer, or rather I can install it, but during the install an error message shows up, saying something about a missing file called xp_x86, when I hit ok on the error message the installation continues and finishes and HTC Sync is installed on my computer. But then when i push HTC Sync on my Magic it searches for the program but doesn't find anything and gives me a link to download a setup.
P.s. the setup I've used is the one located on the SD Card on the phone.

Thanks for your help! :)

Try downloading the HTC Sync PC software from here and install again. Hope it helps!

I just bought mine too and having almost the similar problem with my phone. I have managed to install HTC Sync onto my XP, but everytime when I try to sync, it failed.

But my phone doesn't have a HTC Sync installed like yours... Do i have to install it first? Where can i get it?

TQ.

Someone on the xda forum extracted the application from the phone. Can be found here

Already tried. Still whenever I try to sync, it says : Syncronisation could not be started.

Do i need to run some application from my Magic??
