My PDA stopped syncing after upgrade to Windows XP SP3
Hi All,I hope someone can help me. Yesterday morning, our IT guys upgraded my computer to Windows XP SP3. Unfortunately, since the reboot, my PDA can not synchronize with my outlook. I have tried reboots, reinstalling activesync, soft and hard resets of the PDA. I have used google and bing to search for solutions and have not yet found anything that works. I am completely stumped. I am assuming the problem is something to do with service pack 3 because of the timing. Nothing else changed at that time.When I put the PDA in the cradle, activesync acts as though it realises something is there to connect to. It opens and the green wheel spins. However, after maybe 30 seconds I get the message: "Activesync cannot connect to the Windows Mobile powered device. To troubleshoot the problem, click okay." The troubleshooter does not seem to find any problems and redirects me to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=65257 but none of the solutions appear relevant or work (if I could try them). For example, we have no desktop firewall to block connections.Here are the system details:PDA HP Ipaq 2790, Windows CE 5.0ActiveSync 4.5 (I assume it was also 4.5 prior to the SP3 install)Dell Laptop Windows XP SP3A solution or any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Again All,My IT guys found a solution. I had deleted the partnership from the PC and NOT from the PDA. Both versions need to be removed and then the partnership can be recreated after rebooting both devices.That's a big wieght of my mind.
