I just got my x50v about a week ago, so please pardon my utter noobiness. :waaa:
I first set up my ppc on my home pc, so that I could get started. I set it up as a 2 pc partnership, with my home pc as the guest. I'll only be transferring ppc apps and misc kids pics, music, and the occasional ebook (MS Reader) or tv program (betaplayer).
At work, I set up the full partnership, 2003 Outlook, contacts, tasks, notes, etc. I have no problems with the work connection.
However, I just cradled my ppc to my home pc and all I get is a 5 second connection, long enough for the activesync window to pop up, and the sync icon to start rolling green, then nothing.
The message window next to the sync says "No partnership" and "not connected". When I click "file" everything except 'get connected', 'connection settings', and 'close', is greyed out.
The 'connection settings' shows that the usb connection is connected, but only for about 30 seconds or so, then it says "usb is available".
Because everything is greyed out, I can't even delete the partnership to try to recreate the partnership. I've downloaded activesync 3.8 and installed it, disconnected the usb cradle, shutdown/startup the pc, connected the usb cradle, inserted the ppc into the cradle, but still a big fat nothing!
I'm going to try syncing my ppc at work, and will post my findings.
