I take it you are using ActiveSync? Is it the latest version.
Yesterday I couldn't get mine to connect. I deleted the partnership and still nothing. Downloaded the update and it worked again. Still don't know why it stopped, but at least its fine now.

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!

hi guys

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 just bought an i-mate Jasjar today, and I installed Activesyn 4.0 on my desktop PC(From the CD included in the package of my JJ), when I connected my JJ to the PC, Activesyn can start up automatically, but always shows " Connecting" and can never get connected! I tried uninstalled Activeysync, restarted the PC, then reinstalled Activesync, but it's still the same!
Anyone knows what's wrong with Activesync? any help will be welcome!
Thanks
Did you tried disabling Firewall?
I am having a problem with Activesync 3.8.
It tells me my device (MDA Compact) is connected, but when I try to explore it I get the following message!
"Critical communication services have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again."
I have tied to remove it and re-load it.
Any relevant help would be most useful
I am having the same problem.
I tried using ActiveSync 4.1 recently, only to find it can only be used with the new Windows Mobile 5.0. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 3.8. Ever since then I have had this issue. I've tried removing it again, rebooting, then reinstalling. I've tried downloading a fresh copy of 3.8 in case it was corrupt... All to no avail. I can't even open ActiveSync properly. It appears in teh task bar and can connect to devices, but it will not sync, and I can't browse teh device.

Activesync 4.1 is not just for WM5, I am running 4.1 on my Jam with WM2003SE and it works like a charm.
Whenever I connect my MDA Vario to my PC (Dell 700m) I get the blue screen of death which says there is a driver issue. Dont know what to do at all. How to delete drivers? Which drivers to delete?
I'm sure someone must have had this problem, but a search turned up nothing.
Please help =)
If u r using kaspersky antivirus you'll have to get rid of it. It was my problem. When I started using another antivirus, problem has gone.
Greetings.
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried shutting down Kaspersky but I still got the error. I can try an uninstall.
Microsoft's Crash Analysis gives me the following:
Error report summary
Error type: Windows stop error (A message appears on a blue screen with error code information)
Solution available? : No (see Next steps)
What does this error mean?: Windows has encountered an error from which it cannot recover and needs to restart
Cause: Unknown device driver
Computer symptoms: A message appears on a blue screen with error code information (for example: e.g. 0x0000001E, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)
You have to remove kaspersky. Or sync via IR.
Wellcome
Hi, I am using Kaspersky Anti-Virus and have no problems! 8)
So there might be another incompatibility.
Do you use Active Sync 4.1 ??? The older version 4.0 came with my device and didn't work.
this is my experience, I am using ActiveSync 4.1+WinXP Pro+NOD32+Sygate Personal Firewall...
once I connected my mini s to the pc, Sygate like other firewall software asked me for permittion regarding the usb connection...I permitted for sure....
but the initialisation took more 15mins, and the screen freezed....I tried several times and it happened every time...
then I connected my old PPC (with PPC2003)to the pc, nothing goes wrong....
finally, I EXIT the firewall, quit it...not just "allow all traffic"...then the connection works smoothly......
the problem is I need to quit the firewall before I start ActiveSync...
Im using activesync 4.1, so that should be no problem.
Got it to work!!! Killing Kaspersky did the trick.
Thank you
with older versions of kav, u have to switch off lan scan.
for example, with kav 5.0.225 wks, no pb.
I was thinking of switching to Panda anyway
Thanks for everyones Help, very appreciated!
I updated the ROM and the wizard seems to be working much faster, and no more error messages.

It's the Kaspersky Anti-Hacker that causes the problem, the Anti-Virus and Spam applications are fine.
I was using Kaspersky Personal Pro and I got that Blue Screen. Unninstalled it and everything work fine now.
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
