Re-format of hard drive - Activesynch

I just recently replaced my hard drive and have restored all my data into
Outlook 2003.
Now when I try to synchronise with my iPaq HX2790, activesynch is trying to
re-synchronise all of my contacts even though they have not changed and are
present on both devices.
This is a real pain because I have over 4000 contacts.
When I first loaded these contacts into the iPaq I had to break them into
chunks of 200 or less to stop activesynch from hanging during
synchronisation. I did this by creating a sub-folder and dragging contacts
to the root in managable chunks.
This was fine when the iPaq was empty, but the problem I have now is that if
I start to remove my contacts in outlook, then activesynch will try to
emulate that on the iPaq, which in turn will cause it to hang again.
Anyone got any solution to this problem?

Hi,
ActiveSync should not require you to move the contacts a portion at a time.
Do you have any software that could be affecting ActiveSync such as a virus
scanner or antispyware app?

After a soft reset of the iPaq, it recognised the data was already
synchronised, so that problem is now solved.
About your question, yes, I have Windows Defender and AVG anti-Virus. Do you
think this may have been the cause?
Something else I should add, I wes running ActiveSynch version 4.1 when I
originally had these problems. Now I have installed 4.2

Hi,
AVG scans Outlook. So it could be caused by that. Have you tried removing
the option in AVG to work with Outlook?

I would hope AVG does work with outlook otherwise it would be fairly
pointless.
Surely ActiveSynch should work with anti-virus software?
