[80004005] ActiveSync 3.8 will not sync and is killing my pc [80004005]

For many months now ActiveSync has not only not worked, but it has disabled other parts of the software installed on my pc. I cannot create an email, contact or edit ANYTHING in outlook while the ppc is connected to the dock.

I lived with this for a while but now that I am switching jobs I would like a backup of my tasks on my pocket pc that used to sync up with my work machine (just for archival purpose).

Anyway NOT A SINGLE TASKS, CONTACT OR CALENDAR ITEM will sync between the pocket pc and the axim x50v. I'm using 2003se on ppc and outlook in xp btw.

Is this normal? Not being able to sync a single thing? Every single sync attempt results in 'xxx items not synched' and then when you try to 'resolve' this it says 'Error 80004005' for every single item. I'm so tired of seeing 80004005 so god damn much.

I looked online and there is no useful information whatsoever anywhere on the web regarding this error. Either someone posts to a form and it just sits there or they follow up with their individual, magical fix that is different EVERY SINGLE TIME but NEVER works for me. I've reinstalled outlook, reinstalled activesync, tried different versions of activesync, hard reset, soft reset etc etc etc.

How the hell do I get those tasks out of the ppc and into my home machine!? I'm guessing that solving this problem is beyond the grasp of mere mortals given what I've seen in google. Since AS will never work is there some hacking I can do to make a backup of those tasks somehow?

What a bunch of crap - I have not idea why I have spent this much energy trying to get things on this platform to work. The only thing I have left to try is re-installing windows xp and I don't have the time to go through all of that thank you.
