You have to reinstall what you need on your laptop, including ActiveSync and Outlook if that's what you use for contacts, and then sync the PPC. That will at least give you your calendar, contacts, notes etc back. Any other programs you have that trade data between the PC and PPC will also have to be reinstalled (like Pocket Quicken), but most of your programs don't need anything on the PC to work properly.

What you described about the laptop isn't possible without inserting the recovery CD that it came with and taking it back to factory defaults...aka, format. So...who has had access to your laptop and the factory cd's that it came with?
