AS 4.0 to AS 3.8= >:(

After I uninstall AS4 and reinstall AS3.8, it won't work.. Synchronization won't start, Wcesmgr.exe (Activesync) won't start although wcescomm.exe had when I conect my Xda.. When I try to access the 'Mobile Device' under 'My Computer' it gives me error "Critical communications have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again" regardless if my Xda II is connected or disconnected..

Anyway, I revert back to AS3.8 bcos AS4 doesn't has backup/restore option which I use a lot..

Anyone has such problem? Is there a way to fix this problem? Oh, btw the AS4 I installed is build 3434..

To successfully uninstall ActiveSync 4.0 and reinstall a previous version of ActiveSync on your desktop PC, perform the following procedure.
1. Uninstall ActiveSync 4.0.
2. Open File Explorer, navigate to the System32 directory in your Windows directory, and then manually delete the dynamic-link library Rapi.dll.
3. Reinstall the previous version of ActiveSync.

Thanks, Shikra. That solved my problem 100% :D

Ooops! Hold on a sec! Maybe 90%.. Now that AS3.8 is getting back to work, it doesn't automatically ask to create a new partnership as b4.. This is really annoying, now my contacts empty, and I don't want to refill the contacts one by one cos I got hundreds of them..

Any suggestions?

Yeah...couldn't get the AS 3.8 to automatically create a new partnership after the revert.

Well, I've to be a "Guest" until someone comes out with an idea to initiate the partnership screen to load up.

Hope some good samaritan will help out.

Btw...I running W2K Sp4 on my desktop. I know it will not work with AS4...I just didn't read the fine prints before installation. Now I can connect but have to remain as guest only (after the revert).

Now it couldn't even do backup/restore.. :twisted:
