ActiveSync 4.5 consumes 99% CPU

Hi,

I installed and used ActiveSync 4.1 and 4.2 successfully, but when I install
ActiveSync 4.5, rapimgr.exe consumes 99% of CPU and makes my whole PC
instable.

I use Kerio Personal Firewall, but disabling that doesn't make a difference.
I googled for some stuff and seems others have had this issue too but a
resolution was nowhere to be found.

Has this been officially reported as a bug, or is there a workaround for me
to try other than downgrading to 4.2 which I have already done?

Hi,
Is this cpu utilization occuring while you sync? What is the CPU speed of
the PC?

Are you able to sync?

Yes you're correct disabling Kerio/Sunbelt Personal Firewall doesn't make a
difference only uninstalling it works. Perhaps a good thing since its no
longer developed.

I had to install Activesync 4.5 for Windows Mobile today. I had Sunbelt Personal Firewall on before no problem with previous version of Activesync. However when I installed Activesync 4.5 it would not sync. After much search I was able to correct the problem. First I had to change a setting on my windows mobile: Settings->Connections->USB to PC and uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality." Also I had to change the following settings in Sunbelt Personal Firewall
1. Allow inbound/outbound connections on the following programs:
wcescomm.exe (ActiveSync Application)
WCESMgr.exe (Activesync Connection Manager)
rapimgr.exe (ActiveSync RAPI Manager)
CEAPPMGR.exe (This one shows up as Application Manager in Sunbelt)

2. Open up TCP/IP port 26675 to inbound/outbound traffic.


After that my ActiveSync 4.5 worked perfectly.
