can't sync with outlook nor adressbook

[Guest has-solo]

I seem to have a simple problem I can't sync anything...

I did syncing settings for my pc(not server) every time I sync it nothing happens to adress book nor outlook....

what can be the problem?

is there any spesifics about what to sync or not?

first check both microsoft outlook and outlook express if the data you sync had been synced. because sometimes it synced with outlook express and not microsoft outlook or vice versa.

second make sure you have a check on the boxes under tools>options>sync options in active sync.

Activsync does not syncronise with Outlook Express. It can only

sync with Outlook.

have you installed Outlook that came with the phone or are you

using Outlook 2003?

I've used both forms of Outlook - no problems there.

I have "Lost" the partnership between Outlook and the phone inexplicably on two occassions. Never figured out why, but setting up a new partnership was easy.

I do find that after being open for several hours, Activesync sometimes just can't hook up to the phone properly. Seems to be one of those irritating Windows "Memory Trace" issues. Rebooting the PC without the phone in the cradle solves the issue.

System: Sony Vaio RZ-55G, Windows XP Media Edition, Office 2003

Hope this helps,

Regarding your problems are you using Activsync 3.7.1?

Also as you have Media Edition I'm wondering is it's a glitch with the PC/OS from what I've been told (so could be wrong) Sony have their own tweak version of Media Edition :?

Have you

Alright firstly thanks for your replies...

From what I've resolved before looking to forum replies, as you have said outlook express can't sync with activesync, I was unable to install the spanish version of outlook 2002 (because I have bought spanish version) I was trying to sync with outlook express and couldnot sync. When I installed a proper english version I had no problems... So It's the right advice for me :lol: :idea:

Yup, I have version 3.7.1, Build 3043

It might indeed be a Media Center issue, or a sony "tweek" problem. I tried to install XP Service Pack 2 and it clobbered the system so badly I had to uninstall it. Go Microsoft!
