SmartST v3.0 and activesync 4?

Hi,
I have just purchased (very cheaply) a refurbished iCN 510. It's all working fine with the GB maps on the supplied MMC card. I've installed SmartST desktop. When I try to connect to the iCN, I repeatedly get a message box that says 'please wait while the SmartST desktop is synchronised with your iCN'. It seems to connect ok - I can retrieve information from the device and see which maps are installed and so on.
I have activesync 4 installed as I also own an O2 exec, which is a windows mobile 5 device. I am wondering if this is causing the problem.
Has anyone else come across this problem? Is it fixable?

Cheers,

John

does the message always stay on the screen? if not what other problems is it causing?

I'm not at my "home" computer so I can't be definite about version numbers. What I do remember, is that I found on the Microsoft web site an up date to the version of ActiveSync that came from Navman with my ICN520. I downloaded and installed the newer version and then discovered that I could not connect my Navman at all. So, I deleted the upgrade, re-installed the earlier, Navmen version and all was OK.

If your PDA will work with the earlier version of ActiveSync, I suggest installing the Navman version.

This problem is no longer occuring. I have to make sure that Activesync has made a connection, before I start smartdesktop. Then all is well. Thanks to those who replied...
