active sync problems...

i can't get my phone to sync with my pc at all. it sits there and doesn't ever get recognized. i have no problems if i configure the USB-PC to mount as a drive just not active sync.

Anyone else has this problem?

Thanks,
Sid

Actually I am having this problem at the moment. Running JD's rom (not the latest). I don't know if its the rom or not? I doubt it. I'm doing a hard reset now, and when I get it to sync going to flash JD's newest release.

I had this same problem and just ended up never using ActiveSync. I have WinXP. If I turn off that checkbox sadmedic mentions and try reinstalling for a 4th time, who knows...

exactly what I did and works, hnfi what is in the advanced part but I bet it has clock sync choices that might stop my clock auto adjusting incorrectly?.

just resetting the cpu may help as well

how do you install regular .exe files without using active sync? I tried to active sync with my PC but it doesn't work. I can only seem to install .cab files when I use the disk drive option and transfer them. I'm trying to install iburt's contact software

Another option: If your PC has bluetooth capabilities you could sync your TP wirelessly. If your PC doesn't have bluetooth capabilities, you can purchase a bluetooth USB adapter like this one http://us.kensington.com/html/9403.html\

I've been syncing wirelessly since my mogul because I was experiencing the same problem as you are now. I have yet to experince any of these problems while syncing wirelessly.
