Hello and thank you. I had the latest AS software and did not know how to edit the AXIM registry so I skipped that step. There were no profiles to delete so basically the only thing I did was the hard reset. That seemed to do it - however, something I had noticed before was that the "profiles" folder on the PC did not exist!? So there was never anything to delete and that had made me wonder if permissions were keeping it from being created in the first place (WinXP Media Center). I am the admin so it should not have been an issue but I suspect the folder was never getting created and populated (I searched the entire machine in fact). So, I did create a profiles folder manually and then did the hard reset. One or both things did the job. The profile folder is now populated with three sub-folders: guest, and the two device names I had previously given the AXIM when trying to solve this problem. I don't know where that info was kept but it reappeared one the partnership problem went away. If I had to guess, I'd assume that prior to the hard reset, the profile folder was not getting created due to permissions (unless it was getting cleaned up after the connection failed - however the partnership did appear in the AS file->device pulldown menu - so where was that data being kept?). Anyway - thanks for the reply. Like everything else MS produces sometimes you just gotta take it all the way down and bring it back up, yes? Best regards.
