When I switched from x50 to x50v I learned something interesting. In installed activesync for the original x50 I got, then returned it and got the x50v. I found out the winxp registry has the log for the named device. So when I tried to use the device again (on the new ppc x50v), it forced me to make it a guest (although it did notify me that the device already existed).

Does make me wonder how many sync problems can be caused by xp registry corruption as opposed to just the mobile software or registry itself.

I got around my problem by copying the information from teh orginal registry entry (including the serial codes identifying the PPC) then deleting the new guest account it created. Works fine now.
