Ignore the BT then - but now I'm really confused
My machine still appears to exibit the same issues in Outlook when my HTC is connected via USB (hangs opening a mail then clears as soon as the USB is disconnected) even when not connected (see above)
One point of note is that when reconnecting Windows shows me a systray icon that appears when my PC starts and is tool tipped 'Aquiring network connection' - What is this about and why is it still happenning when ActiveSync connections are disabled?
