Hi Guys,

I'm looking for recommendations for alternative syncing programs to ActiveSync. I'm currently running 4 or 4.1 and basically every 3 or 4 times I want to sync it's not recognising my phone, causing me to unistall and re-install the program. It's drivng me crazy.

Is there a more reliable program that does all the same stuff?

Assistance greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Grace

There are, but they're even more of a pain configuring, and most don't even support all of the features that ActiveSync does.

I think what we need to focus on here is why ActiveSync is not playing nice with your device. Do you have a firewall or special network settings configured?

Have a look through this troubleshooting guide (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx) and see if it solves your problem.

Awesome. Thanks. I just ran that trouble shooter and re-configured my firewall (McAfee) so we'll see how that goes. You're a champ!
