After I reinstalled the software (Intellisync only) I've had no problems at all. I surmise that when my IT group updated Outlook to 2003...it's an automated update that happened company wide one night...that whatever file facilitates the connection was overwritten.
Oddly, it was connecting (the transfer window was opening on the Z screen), but nothing would happen. Regardless, reinstalling did work. I do not have Qtopia loaded on my desktop...Inever use it.
My Z is syncing with two different machines...my corporate XP machine with Outlook 2003, and my personal win98 machine with Outlook 2000. I have no problems either way. I sync with the work PC daily, and then when I go home on the weekends I update the home machine.
The problems you describe aren't problems I have had. I've noted quite a fw people on these boards having syncing problems...I couldn't explain it. I do know that when I first purchased my Z, I couldn't get it to sync...my IT group had to give me administrative rights to my desktop PC. But, that problem took about a half hour to fix, and it worked nearly flawlessly until they upgraded to 2003.
I say nearly, because I've noted that the USB connection works better in some ports than others. My old work PC had 2 open at the rear...sync worked in one and not the other. My new work PC has 1 in the rear and 2 in the front, none of them give a problem. My home PC hase 2 in the keyboard and 1 in the rear, the one in the rear is a bit iffy at times but the keyboard works fine.
My point, after all of this drivel, is that maybe you have either bad USB ports or need to change your privaledges somehow. Note hat file transfer worked in the bad USB ports, just not sync.
Hope this all helps, and welcome to the boards!
