ActiveSync 4.5 - Cannot Save Settings Andy 06-20-2008

 Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me with saving my ActiveSynch
connection settings. I have no problem synching my Cingular 3125 smartphone
(Windows Mobile 5) with my XP SP@ desktop running ActiveSync 4.5.0, but it
will never save mychecked boxes "Allow USB Connections" and "Allow
Connections to one of the following ports Com5" in Connection Settings. I am
synching via Bluetooth. Everytime I launch ActiveSynch on my desktop I always
need to recheck these two checkboxes (whcih I need) because it never saved
it. This is such an inconvenience. Any ideas? Please help.

-Andy

 Hi Andy,

Have you tried recreating the partnership?

Hi Raj, Yes I have redone a partnership and no luck. I've tried so many
things and doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

funny thing that. I have the same problems on one Windows machine but
on the other I don't have. Both running Windows XP Professional but
the differences are:

- on the machine where AS is working I am admin.

- on the machine where AS is not working I am power user (no admin
privieges) and there is another user account on the same machine; here
AS pops up with an error message saying it cannot connect to the
device every time I log into Windows and I have to reactivate USB
connections. Even reinstalling AS as admin doesn't fix it.

Hello Dirk,
You know my problem sounds similar to yours. I actually have two PCs (home
vs work) and my home PC is the one having problems with saving AS settings.
I've enabled "fast switching" on my home PC where family members can quickly
switch between desktops without logons. I wonder if that could be the
problem? If so, perhaps Microsoft should look into this short coming.Fast
switching is a feature I like for home use, so not sure I want to take it
off.
