I was reading today at
http://bevhoward.com/ASync.htm
"Activesync 4.0 is the exception to this advice. Version 4.0 has serious
problems and the current version should be installed in place of 4.0 that
shipped on the CD included with all of the original WM5 devices.
Activesync 4.x is a completely different animal from 3.x versions of
activesync and is required if you have a Windows Mobile 5 (WM5) or above
device.
If you have devices running 2003se or earlier ppc os' you should NOT upgrade
activesync to version 4.1!!! Version 4 drops a number of features available
in 3.x versions (such as the ability to sync via wifi) and uses none of the
new connectivity methods to connect non WM5 devices. At the time of this
writing, the best place for AS 4.x problems is the Microsoft Public
Activesync forum and Chris DeHerra's site FAQs. Google Groups offers good
simple web access to the Microsoft Public group at
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...pocketpc?hl=en
Note, also, if you install Activesync 4.x over 3.x, you cannot revert to 3.x
without manually deleting dll files and making registry modifications...
details on doing so can be found on Chris' site.
Hope this helps.
