I'm 95% sure my new cable is bad.. 3 fresh installs of Activesync on 3 separate computers (all different hardware) kinda rules out just about everything but the cable, and the PDA itself.
What I really want, is directions on manually creating the partnership. What files need to be altered.. or what registry entries need to be made, in order to convince my desktop that a partnership has already been established. My next trip to the original owners place is going to include the cable/pda for a quick test, and me digging through her registry for what I hope to be the info I need... but that may be weeks or more away. I was hoping that someone might already know what's involved.
If any of you are comfortable using RegEdit... do me a great favor and do a search for strings with relevant info.. such as searching for "Activesync", or "Axim". If we can match up data strings with something, like your PDA's serial number, or even Device ID (search that too), perhaps I can fake the partnership and avoid blowing cash on another cable (that I'll only use once).
Whoever manages to help me get this partnership established gets a gmail invite
