Restoring to iPAQ4150 Problem

Can you help me with my problem?
Today, for the first time in 6 months my iPAQ 4150 locked up requiring a hard reset.
Now when I try and sync with my desktop to restore my handheld my desktop will only allow me to connect as "guest". When I try and restore as a guest I get an error message, "Restore cannot be completed successfully. The selected backup file was created from a different type of mobile device...."
Any ideas? :?

nooly,
Do you have the option of setting up a partnership? I'd try setting up a partnership and restoring from there..

Thanks for your tip Brad. I solved the problem.
I was getting a device mismatch error because;
"If you have changed the device's regional settings, ActiveSync will no longer recognize it as the same type of device, and you will not be able to use your backup file to restore information. Change the regional setting back to the setting used when you created the backup file, and try to restore information again."
The world is good again!
