Check the ActiveSynch icon. If it is greyed, it means ur XDA2 is not synchronized/connected to ur computer.
It has to be "light green color" icon.

you its light green and if i double click "my pocket pc documents" from the desktop i can connect to the " My Documents" dir on the phone..

but when i click on the phone icon in explorer nothing comes up whereas on my old xda i used to have all the dirs inc windows and a load of others..

I suffer from the same problem but mine is rather strange. I have an iMate with the latest firmware. My home PC runs Win XP.

On a clean reboot, I am able to access my iMate using Windows Explorer. However, if I pull my iMate off the cradle and put it back on later, Windows Explorer will show me a blank directory and no amount of refreshing will cure the problem! I have to REBOOT WINDOWS before it will see the files again!

I am most annoyed with Microsoft. I have been using Palm for the past 5 years and have never had a problem like this.

I've run across the same problem using any PDA device (i.e. not only XDA2/MDA2) running WM2003 and ActiveSync 3.7.1 on a WinXP machine. Suppose it's got something to do with the AS 3.7.1 and WinXP being used together as I'd never had similar issue with AS 3.x on the same PC. Moreover, all runs just fine even with ActiveSync 3.7.1 on a PC with Win98.

What helps to solve the problem for me is closing the open window previously used for browsing the PDA and then opening it again by either hitting the Explore button in the ActiveSync window or clicking the Mobile Device icon in My Computer.

Just so you guys know, I managed to fix the problem by uninstalling ActiveSync 3.7.1 and reinstalling AS 3.7.

I noticed a lot of these problems also go away if you close all open explorer windows on the XP machine and then retry. Some caching bug probably...
