Activesync help needed

[Guest hotphil]

Wonder if anyone out there can help me out with a problem before I/my SPV/my PC/all three end up jumping out the window:

My Activesync has gone loopy in that it won't sync any Outlook data. It tries to connect, but gives up after a little while, telling me to try later, or read the synchronisation troubleshooter (which incidently gives me a nice "page not found" :? )

I can Explore Ok and my SPV can browse etc out through my PC's net connection, so I guess it kinda works.

I'm running WinXP connecting to an IMAP Exchange 2000 mailbox. Having trawled through this (helpful) forum I've tried the following:

1. grumbling

2. reboots (oh yes, 100's!)

3. uninstall Activesync, uninstall HTC USB device, reboot, reinstall Activesync

4. as 3 but with the added twist of trying a new USB port

5. JD and coke

6. 10 more B&H

7. surprising it by uninstalling Activesync whilst it's trying to connect

8. reading the manuals/EULA's etc (that's how desperate I am!)

I want to try and avoid a PC reformat (although to be honest, it could do with it) or an SPV hard reset (again!).

Any hints on what could be wrong gratefully received!

have you installed outlook express that came with the spv?

because for some reason if you dont basicly active sync goes crazy
