I've had it happen 3 times on two different devices in the past 4 days. It's getting a bit annoying. __________________ Wes SalmonSoftware Test EngineerMicrosoft Mobile and Embedded Devices

I'm thinking is must have something to do with the Bluetooth GPS I pair up with, that's really the only thing I've changed before all this started to happen. __________________ Wes SalmonSoftware Test EngineerMicrosoft Mobile and Embedded Devices

Wes Salmon Intellectual Join Date: Feb 2004 Posts: 146		Yeah, it's the connection that I created (mine was called T-Mobile GPRS) that gets totally nuked. It still exists in the registry however, it's just not visible in Connection Manager nor am I able to connect with it. If I try and recreate a connection with the same name, it doesn't let me so for some reason the Connection Manager is not able to see it to connect after it self destructs. Last night I hard reset my 1945 again and setup 3 different Bluetooth GPRS connections to my T68i. This morning, only 2 of them are left. ARGH. __________________ Wes SalmonSoftware Test EngineerMicrosoft Mobile and Embedded Devices
