A follow up post for those remotely interested. Tried installing ActiveSync on my wifes machine running Win2k. A little bumpy because Activesync didn't like being plugged into an external USB hub. I had read on the MS site that this might be an issue. Locked up the machine and killed the mouse, which was also on the hub. Gave them both a primary USB port and both were happy... the install completed and ActiveSync works fine. Apparently the Axim keeps track of PCs it has been connected with and needed a name for it. Other than that, no problemo.

So, there is something unique going on with the other PC.... mystifying. Something internal "interrupts" the install.

Still happy to entertain any theories out there.
