Since my original posting I made two changes that resulted in a temporary solution. 1) Updated to ActiveSync 4.5 and 2) moved connection from USB hub to USB receptacle directly on PC. Problem dissappeared for a little over a week. Problem reappeared after allowing another MS update.
Note that I made the same changes on my machine at work, but it is still running just fine. My rationale for this is that our IT department doesn't let everything from MS get installed immediately. I can add with confidence that the only updates for my PC at work were from Adobe.
If reinstalling ActiveSync fixes it again, I'm going to be very selective about updates from MS. I've also been considering upgrading my PPC, but don't want to spend the money if this problem is going to carry forward. |
