The problem may not have anything to do with ActiveSync. Many windows XP users have been having problems because of the Microsoft Windows security updates that were released this last week. There is one that fixes some security flaw in the Plug-And-Play Drivers. While for most WinXP configurations it has worked fine, for some it has been a disaster. I had the same problem where my Device Manager went totaly empty and I had lots of problems with other software. I had just gotten my new Axim the week before and thought it was the culprit. I spent days trying to re-install drivers etc.. Finaly I found this post that described my situation:

I went to Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs -->
now make sure that "Show Updates" is checked at the top. And then try uninstalling the Windows update KB905749.
You might have to reboot afterwards. This did the trick for me. Hopefully they will have a workaround for this update.
-Good luck
