Re: ARGH! Another ActiveSync Problem

I ran into a similar problem like 1 week ago!!

Check if the phone charges when connected via USB.

(Remember to uncheck the option: START::SETTINGS::SYSTEM::POWER::When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC)

It might be that your connection with the exchange server interferes...

I've looked around for an alternative sync program for you, but came up empty.

Ahh! You've got Palm OS program installed on the machine?

Uninstall Palm OS program then try to reinstall ActiveSync. REMEMBER! Windows 7 and Windows Vista is NOT capible with Activesync! W7 and WV runs WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center)
You can download it at: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
Just select the version (32- or 64bits)
!ONLY Windows XP runs ActiveSync!


Back to what I was about to say.
 I've experienced the exact same problem, a hard reset was actually the solution! (I Flashed to a new ROM, but it goes for the same)
If Activesync won't help you when Palm OS program is uninstalled I would suggest you do a hard reset.

OK, this might be crucial info toward solving the problem. When I try to uninstall (thru Add or Remove Programs), I get a message that says "Fatal error during installation". Same error if I click on Change. What the Hades is going on?      

HUM!!!

Well, I would do a Hard Reset. Just move the important files over to a Memory Card.

Messages, E-Mails, Appointments, Tasks, Speed dails, Call logs and Contacts can be backed up with a program called PIM Backup.
You can also back up costum with PIM backup. meaning files etc... (Documents, pdfs, music, pictures etc...)
But I suggest that you put them manually over to the memory card.

Now, you will need a memory card (If you don't have one you won't need more than 512 GB memory card - which is cheap (NOTE! That is only if you do the backup))

Save the backup file on the Memory card and take the memory card out. NOW hard reset the phone, everything will still be there when you lunch PIM Backup after hard reset and restored the PIM file.


TO GET PIM BACKUP!
Either download the cab into the memory card by putting it into the PC. OR: download the cab using the internet on the phone (WIFI preffered).

Good luck m8!!
Can't wait for your feedback on how this went!
Crossing my fingers for you

Okey-dokey. I tried to go for a restore point, but the computer only gave me messages that it could not do the restore. So that's out. After doing some tinkering, I decided to double-check files on my new WD external drive. Got back my MK info, but it's still not up to date cuz I can't sync. (Still can't repair/uninstall.) But now when I try to sync, I'm actually getting an error message and here's the technical stuff:

Error Signature
EventType : BEX     P1 : WCESMgr.exe     P2 : 4.5.5096.0     P3 : 4558dbea     
P4 : WCESMgr.exe     P5 : 4.5.5096.0     P6 : 4558dbea     P7 : 000a8fb2     
P8 : c0000409     P9 : 00000000     

The following files will be included in this error report:
C:\DOCUME~1\PAULAL~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER8c44.dir00\WCESMgr.exe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\PAULAL~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER8c44.dir00\appcompat.txt

Does this mean much of anything to anyone? All I'm getting from it is that there's a problem with the WCESMgr.exe file, but I have no idea how to fix the thing. I was hoping to be a clever monkey and just copy it from the install disc to the AS folder, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

That's all for now, folks!
