activsync does not detect the device anymore and doesn't connect!

i reinstalled activsync, i restarted, i checked if the cords were plugged in and nothing..
when it connects it says com port 1: available. com port 3:available but it doesn't connect! i did the firewall thing even though it was never a problem.
when i click on activsync from the axim the bar pops up and goes away in less than a second.
and via computer it doesn't work...
any help please?

I had the same problem just a couple of weeks ago. I restored my computer to a time when it did sync. That was the only thing that worked.

Before I did that, I updated to the latest Activesync, but that did not work. I also soft reset, which did not work, then I did a hard reset, which also didn't work. I completely uninstalled ActiveSync and reinstalled it, also didn't work, but I suspect registry settings which were not written over by the reinstall. My problem was definitely in the computer and not the Axim.

Good luck, I know how frustrating this can be!

i think it may have something to do with me using MemMaid
I used it last night to get rid of the queue notifications that were popping up when soft-resetting the device and all of a sudden this morning the device can't be detected

I too am plagued with this problem of syncing with the cable.

I have had this problem twice. The first time I encountered the problem was right after I had plugged in a USB port expander. There was some sort of update to the USB driver (I think) and then I could only sync using the IR port.

I restored my computer and regained the sync capability.

About 6 months later I plugged in some other new USB device and lost active sync capability again. But this time it was awhile before I noticed and I did not want to restore so I have been relugated to sync via IR ever since. I did use to have the ability to connect and explore my device which allowed me to install programs and such but I have lost that now.

I deleted my device, reinstalled actvie sync and resetup the relationship but now still cannot reconnect.

I think we need a Dell Guru who knows something about this to help us out.

I used a toshiba for 3 years before buying this dell and I never had a problem with syncing. nothing but trouble with this device.

Dell - if you could fix this it would be great.,

This is just another data point in non-syncing behavoir. I installed Windows DDK, continued to work like a champ! After I uninstall the DDK, it stopped working. I re-install DDK it goes back to working!

I had the same experience as femel above. My only solution to sync was to restored my computer to a time when it did sync and it worked. It wasn't the axim but the XP PC that was the problem.

Nic-

Has anyone ever gotten Outlook to sync with their x51v? After 4 useless hours with Dell the "help" recommended that I reformat the hard drive on my PC. I removed the and reinstalled outlook and active sync at least five times with no success. I can copy files to the x51v but no luck on calendar, tasks, contacts or anything else Outlook related. Since it never worked I can't do a restore point. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
