running an Axim X51v, ActiveSync 4.2 & Office 2007

Through many trials & tribulations with MS software, I've learned to leave
well enough alone.
ie; don't upgrade ANYthing if only to have the latest - iow it if ain't
broke...

That's why I've stuck with AS 4.2 all this while, 4.5 was nothing but
trouble.

Anyway, now 4.2 is too... this morning, for no particular reason AS 4.2
started giving me an error:
"ActiveSync encountered a problem on the desktop"
"Support Code:86000107"
Nothing from Outlook would sync

Naturally, a google of this topic shows it to be just another useless error
code with no real meaning.
Typical MS.

Things I've tried so far:
- Ran Office Diagnostics
- Ran the Inbox Repair Tool [scanpst.exe]
- Exported all calendar, contacts & tasks info OUT of outlook
- Ran scanpst on all of them
- Re-imported all, one at a time- at least from this I know the problem lies
in Contact and/or Tasks, since if I uncheck those two items in AS, a sync
succeeds.
- Uninstalled and reinstalled AS 4.2 - twice, included a registry hunt &
peck to make SURE it was gone.
- Even tried <groan> AS 4.5 - still no good.

- Uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook
- Uninstalled and reinstalled Office in its entirety
- Restored PPC from a recent backup
- Hard reset PPC and tried to just sync anything on a bare Axim

NONE of the above has worked, I'm still getting the same stupid, useless
error message.
(who gets paid to code these useless dialogs anyway?)

A bottle of 12-year old scotch awaits whoever has a solution for this.

Hi,

Usually a new pst file helps resolve the error code you get. Did you create
a new pst file or simply removed all the information from the old one.
Either way I would suggest you refer to instruction given under -
