Hi Luke,
I didn't quite understand this bit -
"In the activesync settings, it says "Connect to this PC: SELMAIN"
(SELMAIN is the old PC) and there is no option to change it to the name
of the laptop (which is.. laptop. I'm original hey?)."
Could you explain a little more about which ActiveSync settings you are
referring to? Is this on the PC or the device? With respect to the backup
issue, did you try performing a backup after performing a soft reset? A
soft reset should help close any documents or programs that might be
running.
