AS crashes when syncing favorites

[gai-jin]

Today suddenly, activesync fails, and gives an error which is not descriptive, but does list a memory address. It seems to always do this when syncing favorites, if I turn off favorites in sync options, I don't get the error. The only thing I can think of that's changed is that earlier I used resco explorer to go to /windows/favorites and make some subfolders, to organize the favorites. However, I undid that, and even went so far as to delete the favorites folder, still get the same error.

Suggestions?

Same thing happened to me not long ago. I ended up saving a copy of the mobile favorites else where, and then deleting them and syncing to make sure they are deleted on both PPC and PC, then copy back over what I had saved. After all of that I discovered it being a favorite that I had save from the PC to my Mobile favorites for viewing while sitting in the family room. The name was too long or something. I had deleted that favorite and everything was fine.

Hope this helps.

Hmm... I've deleted the mobile favorites from both the desktop and ppc, and still no dice.

Your REPL.DAT file might be corrupt in the mobile favorites section. You can sync all but MobFavs, undock, delete or rename the REPL.DAT file for your profile then dock. Tell AS to purge your device. Then recheck MobFavs.

You might want to back up first, just in case.
