x50v, Activesync 3.8, WM03

The add/remove program window will not come up. A blank window comes up then disapears.

I have tried to install a couple of programs and nothing will install.

I have tried re-installing activesync. Any ideas how to get activesync working again?

You need to have it syncing first before the add/remove programs will come up. Here are some tips from User KenS.

First plug your PPC in the cradle and then go to Start/Control
Panel/Network Connections and see if your Axim shows up as the last
connection, something like "Local Area Connection 3" it should be listed as
connected and shared. You should also check in Start/Control
Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager and look under Network Adapters. If the
last device shown has an error this means the correct drivers were not
installed. Right click and select uninstall then remove your PPC. Reinstall
AS 4.0 then restart your computer. Start activesync and select 'Get
Connected' and then plug in your device.

If it still is not connecting then you need to look at your firewall. Even
if you don't know you have one you probably do. Windows has one built in and
Norton Internet security does also. So look at your firewall settings and
make sure that Activesync allows all internet access for the following:

ActiveSync RAPI Manager

Microsoft ActiveSync (this appears twice in my firewall settings)

Oddly enough if you just allow Activesync but not the RAPI Manager 2003
devices can connect but WM5 devices cannot.

also I checked under Network Adapters, attempted to fix the errors, and all
of a sudden the pc recognized it, before having installed anything. Go
figure.
