Hi, I just bought the Wizard and spoke to Ashe (he runs the site) yesterday. he suggested that I come here for help since it won't synch beyond "register settings" after i loaded the sw and plugged in the device(it just hangs there). So I can't synchronise my ms outlook or anyhting for that matter
Pretty demoralising really since that is why I bought it
I am using XP professional on a corporate license and it is probably down to that.. It could be some settings but i don't what to do with it? I am also using Symantic antivirus, ms office 2003, the usual MS programs
Would love some help to get my new toy working as it should, maybe someone out there has had the same problem and knows which settings i should disable?????
Thanks

So I purchased the Exec today w00t and 2nite IVe been trying to sync it to my laptop (Dell Latitude D600) running Windows XP SP2
I've followed the instructions on the MS webstie regarding problems with firewalls, VPN and network accelerators but to no-avail.
I have managed to sync it to my desktop PC (Windows XP SP2) but thats not real use to me as all my work stuff is on my laptop.
I had a previous version of AS installed but have removed this - still no joy. I get the following popup error messages when I start AS - wether Im trying to sync or not

Any points on this?

PS: I am using Checkpoint VPN on my laptop but under the LAN connection for my mobile device I unchecked the box as per the instructions - still no joy ! [/url]
Hi,
So I think Ive discovered what the problem is - good old VPN blocking the connection - I guess even though the error message talks about an incorrect software version it could just be that AS isnt getting a chance to start up and failing.
Time to talk to our corporate guys in regards to a new VPN policy - how hopeful am I ?

Okay so problem not solved and this one is driving me totally nuts ! Im so desperate if anyone can help me solve it I'll donte a bit of cash to the tekguru fund !
So basically the error I keep getting is one or both of the following

Troubelshooting to date
- installed AS4.0 with no joy
- delete the AS3.x folders, dlls and registry entries (i think i got them all) with no joy
- uninstalled my VPN and tried to install / sync with no joy
- got down on my hands and kness and begged the XDA master to give me some joy, with no joy !
So Im really at my limits now - I even got a message on the Exec 2nite when I went to syn that I needed to upgrade the version of AS on my pc - errr ?

PS: and it works on my desktop pc - had 3.8, upgraded to 4.0 and sync no problem - but of course all my work gubbins is on the laptop.
Hi,
iv only just registered but have been an addicted follower of the site ever since i purchased an XDA II centuries ago.
anyway, i bought the XDA EXEC the day O2 released here in the UK and have never been successful in completing a sync with my laptop. i have done absolutly everything in the book regards this problem but i jus dont seem to get anywhere.
i am running F-secure Internet Security as my firewall & antivrus programme on my laptop and have even contacted F-secure who only repeated to me what i did on the first day i tried to sync my exec.
can anyone here please help!! i NEED to sync my EXEC.
thank you very much!!
disable all your firewalls including win sp2 firewall...(if you have one) and then try synchronizing.....if works then try enabling all firewalls one by one after enabling each firewall try synchronizing...your'll find the problem yourself....also try enabling port 6 & 7 in your firewalls allowing application wmsos.exe (<--- dont remember the exact .exe name for ms active sync) try ctrl+alt+del your'll find it in running process....

try to allow the activesyn to access port 990 (I had the same problem with ZoneAlarm)

try disabling antivirus.
First thing to do is to check if there is a firewall running. If so - disable it and try again. If it still doen't work the the problem needs further investigation.
If it works, then the firewall needs to be set to allow the connections required. Do a search here and on Microsofts web site for Activesync firewall settings - there are lots of posts about it.
Have you got the lateset version of activesync (4.1)?
If not - head here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync41.mspx
Funnily enough, my O2 XDA Mini S refused to work when i used ActiveSync 4.1. So I went back to the version 4 on the CD and it worked first time. Stupid thing.
hi guys,
I use my own laptop on our works network. I have Activesync on the laptop and can sync my XDAIIs with the laptop no problem.
however, as all our email and calendar information is stored in "Public Folders" in Outlook (on our network somewhere I guess?) , I want to be able to sync my work diary and email across to my PDA, and back again - I only go into the office a couple of days a week, so it'd be great to effectively carry it around with me.
However - Can't do it!
I don't know a great deal about the information that might help you, but my laptop uses XP Pro SP2, and MS Office 2003, and work uses MS Exchange Server.
Sorry if this is a cr*p explanation, but if you think you can help, ask ANYTHING you want!
Thanks in advance!

Hi There,
I am the proud new owner of a T Mobile Mda Vario II. So far I love it, I have gotten my email set up etc. The only problem I have is that I am a avid user of Microsoft Money 2005. Now on my PC I am running Windows Vista Home Basic edition. So when I try to install a program to my Vario which should allow me to keep track of my Microsoft Money accounts the installation tells me I have no Microsoft Money installed on my PC to Synch with. I am using the lastest release of Synch centre etc. So I don't know what the answer is. I was hoping some of you nice people on here might be able to help me out
how about some more info like what app you are trying to install what version of WMDC are you running the more info the better
It's microsoft money for the pocket pc. It ran perfectly when I had windows xp on my main pc with my other pocket pc. Since having windows home basic the program won't find the main program on the pc therefore I cannot synch my vario with the pc.
@quietgirl: WMDC = Windows Mobile Device Center. Try looking into that and re-read austinsnyc's response.

Checkout the MS uk money newsgroup....

Many people have reported issues with Money for PocketPC on WM5 devices. MS only support it on Wm2003 devices, but some users say they have it working fine on WM5. Hopefully someone in that newsgroup can help you.
Thanks for the advice. just thought I would post back what i've tried. none of the ppc programs will synch properly so I tried a trial version of sbf finance I think its called. after synching it quadrupled every entry in my money program on the pc. I have opted not to bother now. but just wanted to say thanks for the advice.
