My bad. I was compulsively abusing three diff. reg. cleaners and screwed my XP majorly. Had to reinstall everything. I am finding it hard to go back to WM5 though, I hyped myself up in a bad way over my whole sync situation. Blah, what a mess. When your bored and have only a computer to entertain your life, who do you run to when you have lost control over yourself? Not this forum.
By the way, try Agile Multi Instant Messenger for your PPC. It works very-well.
