Please log in for more thread options Chris,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Sorry.. I missed one piece of information. I actually tried installing
ActiveSync 3.8 as well, as the last ActiveSync 3.7.1 didn't work. I am aware
of the Detect & Repair oprtion for Outlook. I will try that route and see
what happens.. bascially the desktop guys are going to have to be responsible
for getting my computer back to how it was... just means wasted days not
working...
Thanks for your help. If you have any other suggestions let me know.
Thanks.
