Mobility Site - View Single Post - ActiveSync starts then stops before sync-ing

Complicated cure but it works :-

1. Make sure you have the latest release of ActiveSync which is 3.7.1. Believe it or not there are two releases of this release ! Use Build 4034. If you don't have this version, delete the Version installed and download the latest one. If you do have build 4034, open ActiveSync and delete all partnerships. Reboot the PC.

2.On your PC go to Documents & Settings>USERNAME>Application Data>Microsoft>ActiveSync>Profiles. Delete all Profiles. Reboot thePC.

3. In your Axim Registry go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>Windows CE Services>Partners. Delete P1 (and P2 if it is there). Soft reset the Axim. (Note: This step MAY not be necessary).

4.Backup your Axim to Built-in-Storage and to a memory card as well just to be safe. Use Sprite Backup if you have it, and compress the backup - otherwise it will not fit in BIS. If not, backup to two memory cards.

5. Hard reset the Axim. Drastic I know, but this is an essential part of the cure. Adjust region, date and time.

6. Restore the backup file.

7. Now connect the Axim to the PC via the cradle and ActiveSync. Set up a new partnership from scratch.

I have had this irritating problem many times in the past and used this rather dastic cure. But since I have had Build 4034 ActiveSync 3.7.1 the problem ahs never come back - knock on wood !!

Good luck ! Let me know if it works :rolling:
