Ever have one of those days when you want to kill Activesync???

There's only one thing left to do.

disable any antivirus or a personal firewall software on
the machine. use the msconfig for that. also try to
disable the internet connection firewall of windows xp.
Restart your PC and device should get detected in
activesync.
