Mobility Site - View Single Post - Help! Windows XP re-install

Well, had been running Win2k with no ActiveSync issues. I finally decided to wipe the drive and install WinXP Pro. Of course, I installed Outlook and made sure I could exchange e-mail BEFORE I installed ActiveSync, but I didn't have to install any special drivers. As soon as AS started installing, it came to the expected "connect your cradle, turn on your device and insert it in the cradle..." screen, and I followed suit by plopping my X5 into the cradle. I didn't even have to click on anything---AS immediately saw the X5, and came up with my password screen. Once I entered the password, I got the normal "Standard or Guest" screen and went from there. Whole process took all of about 3 minutes. It syncs cleanly.
