complex sync problem

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



I sync my iPAQ with my home and work computers. No problems at home.

At work, I initially tried to sync via Bluetooth and failed (due to port
assignments problems, I think). Nevertheless, I bought an USB cable for my
iPAQ, and am able to sync via this most of the times, but not always. I have
to open ActiveSync on the desk top before connecting the pda to the cable,
otherwise it always fails. But even with AS open, it sometimes fails. When it
fails, I cannot communicate with the PC from my keybord and mouse any more.
The computer runs in the background popping dialog box kindly advising me to
click to see what the problem is, which I cannot do as my mouse and keyboard
are both frozen. To reset I have to turn the power off. The system logs the
following error event:
<The Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) service failed to start due to
the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it
has no enabled devices associated with it.> I guess, this is due to my
initial attempts to set up connection via BT.
How can I eradicate all remnants of my flirting with BT? Or any other
advice, please?

PC: WinXP SP3, all current updates both at home and work.
PDA: iPAQ hx2410; Win CE 4.21 (Win Mobile 2003) ActiveSync 3.8, again on
both desk tops.
