Hi. I've had huge problems in getting Activesync working properly. Its very fickle; sometimes it works and other times I can't even get a connection between my X51v and my notebook. But I now have a solution that works for me and perhaps it may assist others.

Here are the steps I typically follow:

1. I plug in my Axim via USB and nothing happens.
2. I open the task manager (ctl-alt-del in Windows XP)
3. I notice that only the first two of the three essential ActiveSync processes (rapimgr.exe, wcescomm.exe, WCESMgr.exe) are loaded
4. I end the rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe processes (by selecting and hitting the "End Process" button.
5. Finally I restart ActiveSync via the start menu.

If I follow those 5 steps, ActiveSync always gets going after I plug in the PDA. I have found that I can't just start WCESMgr.exe if the other two processes are active. It still doesn't work. I have to close all associated processes and then restart.

Sorry if this is old news.

Peter.

Good post :approve:

It does kind of beg the question as to why AS doesn't load correctly every time though. Perhaps a firewall adjustment may provide a permanant fix or, even worse, reinstalling AS from scratch.

You are right; Activesync is indeed a fickle program.
