Unable to connect to Sql Server Compact Edition Database

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

I'm using VS 2005 and ActiveSync 4.5.

Using the Server Explorer in VS 2005, I get the following error when I
try to add a connection to a sql server compact edition database that
resides on a CE device:

"Unable to connect or authenticate Sql Server Compact Edition
connection through Microsoft Activesync. Make sure the device is
properly connected to this computer."

If I copy the same database to my development PC, I'm able to add the
connection and open the database.

Any help would be much appreciated.
