Please log in for more thread options Unless you are syncing files *to those cards*, I can't explain that part of
the problem. If you are syncing files to the cards, that could, conceivably
be the problem. You are using just plain ActiveSync, or you have one or
more third-party sync extensions installed?
As for the HP fingerprint thing, that's not a MS problem. Contact HP on
that one. It's not even a standard device type, as I recall, so it's *all*
under HP control.
