Go to www.google.com and search for "80004005 outlook" (without the quotes).

If you are using Outlook with Exchange, there was (is?) a bug that sometimes caused this. A patch has been released, apparently. I know no more than that if this is the case.

Otherwise it's most likely a corrupted contact in your pst file. Here's some things to try (try and sync again after each step and only move to the next if it still fails):

1) Run scanpst.exe (installed with Outlook).
2) delete that contact (if you know which one it is).
3) create a new contacts folder, move all contacts to there. Sync (your
contacts items on the Pocket PC should be deleted); move them back.
Sync again.
4) delete the partnership, and recreate it.

I would recommend backing up your pst file before starting the above.

I would do a soft reset. That's always fixed my activesync problems. :?

Before you reinstall, have you applied any Service Packs?

At least, that is what they suggest for this, seemingly related, error.

On that note, if you have trouble with Microsoft Applications, the Microsoft Knowledge Base is almost always worth a visit!
