Ok lets go through it step by step.
1. find the icon that has the phone and magnifying glass to detect your phone.

2.Then it should tell you that it has found other CMDA phone on whatever usb port you are plugged into

3. Right after it tells you it found your phone, go to the menu up top and click Edit-Settings

4. Then it should open up a window that looks like this....

5. Click to get the drop down menu where it says phone type. And select the voyager or dare settings.

6. Hit ok, then you will see a folder that is just a plain "/ " Mark, click on that folder and after a minute it should open up the filesystem.

Hope this helps you get BitPim up and running.
