Laptop has XP SP2. I appreciate your help on this.
I'm not sure if ActiveSync v3.8 is compatible with WM5. I'm assuming your X51v came with WM5 as I have not seen them come with WM2003SE. Here's what I found on Microsoft's website:

"Please note that it is recommended that customers use ActiveSync 4.0 only for devices running Windows Mobile 5.0 software."

So, my best guess is that WM5 may only work with v4.0 and above.

EDIT: I did another check for the Sys Requirements for v4.1 and see that it supports WM5 and older. However, Sys Reqs for v3.8 is not stated for the PocketPC OS and only for the host PCs. I believe WM5 was released after v3.8 was released and that might be where your problem is at.
