complex sync problem

I sync my iPAQ with my home and work computers. No problems at home.

At work, I initially tried to sync via Bluetooth and failed (due to port
assignments problems, I think). Nevertheless, I bought an USB cable for my
iPAQ, and am able to sync via this most of the times, but not always. I have
to open ActiveSync on the desk top before connecting the pda to the cable,
otherwise it always fails. But even with AS open, it sometimes fails. When it
fails, I cannot communicate with the PC from my keybord and mouse any more.
The computer runs in the background popping dialog box kindly advising me to
click to see what the problem is, which I cannot do as my mouse and keyboard
are both frozen. To reset I have to turn the power off. The system logs the
following error event:
<The Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) service failed to start due to
the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it
has no enabled devices associated with it.> I guess, this is due to my
initial attempts to set up connection via BT.
How can I eradicate all remnants of my flirting with BT? Or any other
advice, please?

PC: WinXP SP3, all current updates both at home and work.
PDA: iPAQ hx2410; Win CE 4.21 (Win Mobile 2003) ActiveSync 3.8, again on
both desk tops.

You can't sync the first time via Bluetooth; you always have to connect the
device to each computer you want to pair it with via a cable, at least once.

It sounds to me like you're plugging into a USB hub that is bus-powered,
causing there to not be enough power to supply your USB keyboard and mouse,
maybe. You might try plugging the device directly into a USB port on the PC
case, if you are using a hub now.

How is Bluetooth provided by your PC? A USB dongle? If so, again, USB
power problems might cause the dongle to not work. If it's built-in to the
PC itself somehow, there is usually a switch/button that allows you to turn
the Bluetooth radio on and off (often a switch along the front edge or near
the power button on laptops). If the Bluetooth radio is off, you'll get an
error like what you see.

Thank you Paul,

I didn’t know that I had to connect to PC with a cable first. It explains
why I could not set BT communication. At the time I was playing with an USB
dongle. Anyhow this is all history now.
I am sorry for not writing clearly enough what is the nuisance: I do have a
cable now and am not using or trying to use BT any more. However, it looks to
me as if there is something somewhere that makes the system think that I am
trying to connect a BT device, while I am not. (see the event log in previous
post)
I am not using a hub, my keyboard, mouse and pda cable are all connected
directly to the USB ports at the back of my PC

The Bluetooth error you see can be caused if a) you don't have Bluetooth
hardware or it's not installed, but you do have a COM port mapped to use
Bluetooth, so the driver fails because it can't communicate via Bluetooth or
b) if you have something else that's trying to use Bluetooth to communicate
when there's no Bluetooth hardware installed (your dongle is not plugged
in).

My guess is that ActiveSync created a COM port, at one point, over Bluetooth
and now you don't have Bluetooth. Open Active Sync and choose Connection
Settings... from the File menu and verify that "Allow connections to one of
the following" is *not* checked, so ActiveSync is not trying to open that
COM port.

It looks it did the trick. I unchecked the box and followed the connection
wizard, which established the connection easily, the box was rechecked and
things seem to work just fine. I will be watching it for some time. I could
connect without prior opening AC, which I was never able to do on this PC. If
this is it, I owe you a double, respectable single malt, if you are ever in
Edmonton AB.
Thanks a lot.

You don't need to have the Allow connections... checkbox checked, unless
you're using a real serial port for connections. I only use USB and it's
not checked on my machine at all.

I'm not sure what's up with the needing to open ActiveSync first, maybe just
the delay in getting Bluetooth to fail before it tried USB or something.
Have my single malt and enjoy it for me!

Sorry to say that, but the success was short lived. I am back to square one,
meaning that I crashed my PC several times today trying to sync. The only way
I could sync was with the box for allowing usb connection checked and AC open
prior to attaching my pda to the cable. Same error messages in system event
logger.

I can live with it but it is both puzzling and annoying.
