Mobility Site - View Single Post - problem syncing two computers

Add me to the ones with this problem. Synced for years between my pocketpc and two pc partners. Worked like a champ.

Then my primary pc died. Replaced it, removed the partnership, installed ActiveSync, added the new partnership and WHAMMO... can't sync tasks or contacts with two partners. Makes the whole PDA thing totally useless for me.

I did everything I know (but primarily on the PC side), including completely removing and reinstalling both ActiveSync AND Outlook. Nothing has worked.

Been looking on the net for months and still haven't found any solution. Lots of reports of the problem but no solutions.

Has anybody ever gotten a handle on this?

I saw one post that it might be related to syncing with an Exchange server. I might buy this because this pocketpc was once upon a time configured to sync directly with Exchange (though it never really seemed to work). It is no longer configured to sync with Exchange but it still tries to and throws dialog boxes that it can't connect. Sigh.

I haven't ever looked at removing and reinstalling the ActiveSync components on the pocketpc. Is this possible? If so, how do I go about it?
