Everytime I hit the Explore button inside the Activesync window, it opens up the C:// drive on my Desktop PC...not the device. I don't get a Mobile Device icon/drive anywhere when my P3300 is connected to my PC.

This is the first PPC device I've owned that's done this to me. Anyone have the same happen to them...or a solution? I'd like to explore my device through Activesync, but can't find it anywhere right now.

I have the same thing. Just started happening since wiped my device (so now the device has a new name...)

Interested in any fixes!

Hi, I had the same problem (with AS v4.2 installed) and I fixed it in this way:

1. uninstall AS v4.2
2. reboot the PC
3. delete the "Microsoft ActiveSync" folder where the program was installed (if it still present) and clear the registry (I use RegSeeker)
4. install AS v3.8
5. at this point you can try to explore the device and should work
6. upgrade AS v3.8 to AS v4.2 running v4.2 installer without remove v3.8
7. reboot the PC and you should still be able to explore the device through AS.
