Hi all,

I'm sure this issue has been beaten to the bush in usenet but still
I'm not able to get rid of this greeting.

Let me describe my set-up:

1> Windows Xp + SP2
2> Active Sync 4.5
3> MS Bluetooth stack
4> Samsung BlackJack I-605 smart (whatever) phone
5> USB Bluetooth Dongle

I sure can "sync" but its still a brute force method with lot of
unknowns.

For a typical sync... these are my steps:
1> SmartPhone turn discovery ON; initiate pairing
2> Laptop recognizes the device; device gets connected; displays
incoming port say "COM 8"
3> Microsoft Active Sync > Connection Settings > "Allow Connections on
Following"> "COM 8"
4> Sync happens

so far so good

But on restart; I again get the greeting "Microsoft ActiveSync cannot
open the COM port". I have to again go through the steps described
above to do the syncing again

I have looked at my registries:
1> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services >
"Serial Port = COM 8"

2> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services > "Serial
Port = COM 8"

Can somebody explain to me:
1> How to prevent "greeting" on restart?
2> Smart syncing without these issues?

Ravi
