that's a common issue with XP, especially after SP2. Try reinstalling ActiveSync 3.7.1

3.7.1 is the problem, downgrade to 3.7 or below and it will be okay. There's download links on our download menu to various ActiveSync versions.

It's a known Microsoft bug that Microsoft STILL hasn't fixed.

Thats strange?
I have SP2 installed and I use active Sync 3.7.1
I can sync to the PPC and everything works fine with no problems at all.

In fact after reading horror stories about SP2 I didn't want o install it but as I had automatic updates switched on and SP2 had started to install automatically I decided to let it finish. Nedless to say I needn't have worried as I have not experienced any issues with it at all.

I too have Win XP (Pro) with SP2 installed. I have ActiveSync 3.7.1 (Build 4034) and like icsys have had no problems.

yeah, it works fine until you start using more than one pocket pc on the same active sync PC. AS gets confused after a while and doesn't show the folders any more. Interestingly enough the way via the "My Computer . Mobile Device" may still work, and the way via the dev tools (Remote File Viewer WILL still work. Sometimes killing wcescomm.exe helps, sometimes a rebot, sometimes just patience.

Sorry Lutz, but my 3970 and 5555 are definitely different and both work just fine on the same PC. I guess that my situation is the exception that proves the rule....

Do you have your PC setup to have partnerships with both devices?

I can't afford that because I use multiple PCs to connect to multiple pocket pcs, and have set AS to automatically only accept guest connections - maybe that's contributing, too.

Make sure your cradle is unplugged from your PC when installing activeSync otherwise this could cause you problems synchronising with the PDA.
