blatty - What version of PPC are you running? I had no sync problems until I "upgraded" to WM 2003. Upon PC start and first connection with my Ax, it syncs fine. Typically the connection is lost within 2 to 15 minutes, with no action on my part (i.e. shutting down AS, removing the Ax from the cradel, etc.). I have taken to not worrying about it much, figuring that at least it was charging. When I want to sync again, I do the following: 1) remove Ax from cradle; 2) Open Task Manager on my PC (Windows 2000); 3) end the processes WCESMgr.exe and/or wcescomm.exe; 4) restart ActiveSync; 5) reseat the Ax in the cradle.
Yep this stinks. Many have suggested
ActiveSync Toggle, but that does not work for me. I have emailed MicroLogics about my observations, but not heard back yet. I really hope that MS, a techie here, or a third party vendor comes up with a solution. I think fondly back to September when my Ax sync'ed repeatedly with never a problem. Hope this helps in the mean time - mm
