again, thank you Gigi for your support,

however,

i'm still getting the same error.
My ppc was named "funny_thing" before I did the backup.
i made the backup to c:\axim_backup ; instead of the application-data\... folder

after the hard-reset, I made a connection with activesync, and it asked the name, I mistakenly typed "cool_thing" ('cause it is:)

then the troubles started.. i now have three folders in my "documents&settings\jo\aplication-blablabla\profiles

funny_thing
Pocket_pc
Cool_thing

& my backup-document is in another folder on my c:\

I removed all partnerships & started deleting those profiles folders & copied the backup to the "funny_thing" folder.

did another hard-reset on the ppc, & made sure the name & language was correct.

then plugged it in the cradle & activesync asked me to synchronise. all works well, but when I try to restore the backup, i still get the error that it's a wrong device "wrong type" (I'm native dutch speaking, so my windows error-message is dutch. I just translate it at my best capabilities, perhaps the message is different in english)


is the backup.stg the only file I'd need? & could I restore it manually or with another program?
