Hi to all!
I previously used WM2003SE ROM2.06 (the one modified by ZeroExtreme). Then I took the plunge coz I couldn't resist trying out WM2005. The upgrade went fine, but then ActiveSync started acting weird. It synchronizes, but it stays minimized, no matter what I do. When I right-click on the taskbar tray (BTW I'm running WinXP SP2) and click on "open activesync", it opens, but again, stays minimized so I cannot get into the options or tools. I got pissed off so I rreverted back using XdA2JoJo and toenailed's Final version (the exe file). The update went fine. Naturally, I removed a ActiveSync 4 and installed AS 3.8 It was installed fine, and it recognizes my device, but it can't sync. It says connected but when I try opening AS it give me nothing. it doesn't even prompt me for a new partnership. When I cchoose to "explore device" by right-clicking the taskbar icon, it gives me like a communication error and tells me to reset my PPC. I did, but still to no avail. I uninstalled and reinstalled AS3.8 and even AS3.7 - same problem. I searched the forum tried running replog.exe on my Xda2, nothing. Tried deleting everything including manually uninstalling AS by deleting its registry files - same problem. When I install AS4, it synchronizes alright, but again, AS4 won't open, it just stays minimized.
Please help me guys. Thanks in advance!

Same problem here guys ... anyone can help ???
hi guys
when I tried to downgradte to version 3.8 form 4.0 I had the sam problem,
but then I just deleted everything including registry keys, and I reinstalled 4.0 ( not 3.8), and It works great now
Activesync Problem
Still the same here. I can't be the only one who has thes same minimized activesync.
No matter what I do i just can;t get it to maximize.
Help please.
Tried uninstalling deleteing registry keys. The only thing ive been able to do is a system restore. and of course i'm left with 3.8
Help
solution !!!
I met exactly the same problem some days ago. The issue resulted from the undeleted DLL files in folder "\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft shared\NoteSync Forms".
You can find a install log file named "wcesetup.log" in the ActiveSync installation folder, in which it reccored everthing copied/replaced during installation. Some DLL were not copied/replaced, due to previous installation.
Just remove the DLL files which were not installed correctly. Then re-install, your problem should by solved.
Hopefully it's helpful.
Sorry for the late update. I solved my problem - I reinstalled windows! Well, apparently I had no choice for I already tried everything I could find in the forums.
installed activesync 4.0 due to curiosity.
failed to sync.
tried to re-install 3.8, but activesync failed to "pop-up" during startup. failed to maximize as well. indicates "Connected" at system tray.
it is such a great thing we have forums and threads like these.
after spending hours of trying to figure out what's wrong, it only just took me a few minutes to read this thread and fix the prob!
deleted files using WCESETUP as reference. some files didnt want to be replaced since they are "version 4.0.4343" and source file is older (from activesync 3.8 ). whew.
Still don't work
U said u deleted some files using 'wcesetup' can u explain yourself. I tried the above deleteing dll in nsync folder. That didn;t work.
Please this just keeps going and going and i need to fix it. And i don;t fancy reloading my machine to complete it
Thanks in advance
ok i can give some info
remove activesync from you pc
remove the XDA from the cradle
and use taskman to stop wcesmgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
go to control panel and remove activesync
restart pc
go to program files\microsoft activesync and delete all fire there or (if you have pocket pc apps instaled from the desktop backup it cos all cabs are there)
then if your xda as BUZmobile 2005 you MUST use activesync4
else activesync 3
dont use any type of anti-virus/firewall when using activesync4 cos it will prevent a good connection
after that install it again
for activesync4 is better to have outlookXP (outlook2003) and open it i did have some problems sync notes with it closed
well post what appened
Guys, I have a new problem now. I flashed my Xda to WM2005 again, using Buzz's ver. 1.6a
Activesync 4 (build 4343) installed fine but now, when I conect my Xda2, AS opens alright, but it doesn't prompt for a new partnership. Intead, the icon keeps on spinning and then I get an error on my device: "Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings." Please help...
I somehow made it sync! But now I'm back to the same problem in the first post! Now ActiveSync stays minimized and I cannot get it maximized! Please...
Try to disable windows firewall ... solved my activesync (via usb) problem

Old post but this is exactly what's happening to me. Cannot open the window? What is the solution????
I bought myself a a qtek S100 a few weeks ago and it's been working fine up until today
Today I sended a file via Bt from my Nokia smart phone to the Qtek so that I could dowload it to the computer faster via USB cable. The file was 764k real player video. Anyway after the transfer ended the Qtek started acting funny...is started by geting slow and slower and slower ... the cable was already pluged and the connection set so I tryed to acess it via PC...no sucess.
I unpluged and did a reset, thought that would solve the problem...
When I tryed to sync after the reset it showed an error message on the PC saying "Critical Communications Services have failed to start. Try reseting the mobile device and start again" Well I did...and also dowloaded MS Active Sync 3.8 and instaled it again.
The outcome was still the same...."Critical Communications Services have failed to start. Try reseting the mobile device and start again"
Anyone ever experienced this? How can I solve this?
Eheheh go easy on me kinda noobish here
Rom version:1.12.00 WWE

Here's the follow up just in case anyone will have the same problem...
As it turns out the problem wasn't in the Pocket Pc...although the error message in windows (Pc) asked for a reset of the PP, the problem was actually in PC. It seems that somehow the Antivirus (Bitdefender with integrated firewall) started detecting the usb cable connection with the PDA as an internet connection, and althought I had authorised it the High level of security imposed by the Firewll and it's rules on the Pc enabled the connection but disabled any kind of exchange between the computer and the PDA. Well to put it plain and simple...active sync would start and everything went smoothly up until trying to open the pocket PC for file browsing...then the antivirus would kick in and wouldn't allow data tranfer as it would consider it harmfull for the computer...hence the error message.
ehehe Problem solved ...hope this helps the next one that has the same prob. :shock:
Help! today i was playing with my uni today and for some reason now active sync wont syncronize everytime i connect on the device it says connected and it gives me this error
"Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft ActiveSync Troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer."
and it is connected with the Guest account afterwards, it was working about 30min ago...
i think hat caused it is i accidently deleted a folder in application data called MDM or MDA or sth i cant remember would that have caused the problem? anyone go a backup of that file? maybe i can get a copy of? or anyone know the cause of the prob? i've turned off my firewall and everything just incase i thought it would intervene with active sync but still no luck
also i can install ay app it keep saying Installation of "the app.cab" was unsuccessful.
thanks in advance
Hi,
I'm trying to install hard-spl to flash my TC with wm6.5 rom that I have made with kitchen available here.
Problem: ActiveSync connection is ok, I can sync, explore etc. But when I run ROMupdateutility.exe it gives connection error 202.
I don't see any security messages about running enterbootloader.exe or anything else either which is weird, just this 202.
I have tried to change phone's "enable advance network functionality" setting, no luck.
I have 2 pc's with WinXP, other one has no internet connection, firewall or anti-virus software, getting exactly the same result with both pc's.
I have tried different usb cable, port, many many soft resets...
There's Symantec SmartPhone Security on the phone, I have disabled the auto-protect, but no luck.
Any ideas???
ERROR [202, 204] : CONNECTION
This error message will appear when the device is not connected to ActiveSync correctly. Make sure you properly connect the device to the PC through ActiveSync before running RUU.
Have you tried a hard reset make a backup first as it removes all apps installed and data 'phone numbers text's', I think with Symantec SmartPhone Security removed as long as activesync works it should be ok.
Hi, hard reset seems to be the last way to try. I have read this forum 2 nights now and not found any other ideas :-(
Running wm6.5
Hard reset might be THE solution for many people I think.
first off I'm using windows xp sp2 and ActiveSync 4.5 for my tmus hd2. when my computer starts up i get the error wcescommmgr.exe failed to initialize properly.
i have tried unnstalling repeatedly but still same error and now i can't sync my phone. anyone have a clue here what could be wrong
bumping to get this some more views
any suggestions guys?
just untick the "enable faster connection" button on USB-PC dialog box, and try again.
ihave its not a problem with my phone settings its my computer. on startup i get an error tat says wcescomm.exe failed to initialize properly. it happens even if my phone isn't connected
or can someone tell me another program to use for syncing on win xp
so i suppose noone has had this issue?
Have you tried this:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com...c/thread/06013872-5bec-4d25-8d4b-7a9e23ee8c6a
yeah my computer isn't connected to the internet so i have firewalls turned off. ichecked services in admin tools and found nothing relating to ActiveSync. i really need to sync my phone. mmmy phone gets recognized as disk drive but ActiveSync is faster
ok so i tried tracking down registry entries but it was too confusing. i ado tried reinstalling ActiveSync to my other hard drive and it still does it. wcescomm.exe had failed to initialize properly (0x0000142)
thnx rpx1 it worked for the future its all about missing a profile to active sync.created new system profile aka user account and im good to go
