I have been using MyPhoneExplorer on an XP very satisfactorily for several months but I have had to get a new PC which is running Windows 8.1

I installed MyPhoneExplorer version 1.8.5 (full). It doesn't find the new Windows calendar (the one native to Windows 8.1 - I don't think it has another name) and there is no option in the MPE software other than MyPhoneExplorer or iCal file or Google. So I installed Desktop iCalendar Lite in the hope that it would find this iCal file and solve my problem. It did not. I assumed it meant the iCal file was on the PC and not on the Android Phone so I tried forcing it with file:\\name_of_file. No luck there either.

I searched the forum and found no exact duplicate of my problem but I did find various mentions of the fact there should be an option to choose Windows as the calendar in MPE. I don't know why this option isn't available so I uninstalled MyPhoneExplorer and installed MyPhoneExplorer (portable) in the hope that it was an error in translation. No go either.

Long story short. How can I get MyPhoneExplorer to find and sync either with Windows Calendar or with Desktop iCalendar Lite? Please anyone?

Thanks for your trouble,

Anne

I don't know what is the native calendar of Windows 8.1 - and even if i would know it its currently not implemented in MyPhoneExplorer. iCalendar Lite should be a better choice. Find out which iCal-File is used from iCalendar Lite. If there is no file available then just create a plain textfile and name it like "MyCalendar.ics". Then select this path in the sync settings of MyPhoneExplorer. The path should start with file://, i think its better to use the file selector right of the textfield.

Dear FJ, thank you for your reply. I was travelling when it came but now at home and your suggestion worked. I created the file then linked to it and now all is fine.
Many thanks
