Re: ActiveSync 4.1 USB Issues

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have now successfully installed ActiveSync 3.8. The installation copied
all the installation files to my temp directory but then hanged. So I then
deleted the processes in Task Manager and found the "setup" file in my temp
directory. After executing setup ActiveSync 3.8 installed successfully.

Although I still had USB connectivity. The PC detects the device in
device manager once the iPaq is connected (Windows CE Devices - Compaq iPaq
USB Sync), but once I engage ActiveSync the device cannot be detected. I
also note then receive an error in device manager (Code 43 - stating that
"drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the
device failed in some manner").

I searched the web suggesting to Hard Reset the Ipaq and then restart the
syncroniation / partnership. Upon that step, all appears to be working now
and syncronising perfectly.

I am not getting any error messages when I uninstall ActiveSync 4.1, the
oepraiton runs smoothly. The problem is when I then try to re-install
ActiveSync 3.8, the install hangs with program remaining in Task Manager.

Is there any special way to uninstall ActiveSync 4.1?

Mind you ActiveSync 4.1 is working fine, I just do not have USB
connectivity
after the very first syncronisation.

Where is it hanging? Before you get to the file copying, or at a
specific point during the install?
