New Question

Okay, so I've synced then did a hard reset a couple of times and every time I resync I can't use the same device name. I get an error message saying that the device is already in use. How can i delete the prior device that is in the sync memory? Thanks for any advice.

Go into the following directory (under WinXP):
\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles
and delete the folders you don't want.

ohhh thanks for the reminder

OK the question of the day... at least for me... i have no problem changing my username of my h5555 after a hard reset, but the problem is that i cant restore it from a different user name.... whats the point of backing it up if when it hard resets i cant even use it(or can i.... help)... this is more for future reference, so no rush on getting back to me, thanks.

It's called Application Data. But, depending on your WinXP installation it might be under the Local Settings folder instead.

You're right! I forgot it's hidden as it's the first setting I change on a new machine.
