New Device - No Sync

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I've always struggled with intermittent problems with ActiveSync 6.1 Vista
Home Premium. Lately I started getting this error out of the blue:

---------------------------
Windows Mobile Device Center
---------------------------
Synchronization cannot be started because you are not able to log on to the
network and access information. Restart your desktop computer and
synchronize again. If the problem persists, contact your network
administrator.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I deleted that partnership and no longer use the Motorola Q device. I'm now
using a Samsung Omnia. It syncs ok at home with Win XP, but I tried here at
the office with Vista today and got the aforementioned error again.

Sync Center 'error log' says "Sync failed with Samsung Omnia" then
"ActiveSync encountered a problem on the desktop." That doesn't mean much to
me, I'm afraid.

I rebooted the computer as per the err msg. I restarted the handheld.
Doesn't help.

I *can* browse the contents of my device (internal and storage card) so I
guess some sort of connection is made.

Any help or guidance would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
