Help ~ Can't Sync Contacts, Calendar, Tasks or Notes

[mjloves2teach]

Help!

I am only a wanna-be techie! I had the 6600 then the 6700 and upgraded to the Mogul when it was released this summer.

I had an issue with it so insurance replaced it. So I am syncing my just recieved unit and it won't sync my Contacts, Calendar, Notes or Tasks. My previous unit was sync to my laptop and I expected to plug in the new unit and just sync all my old info.

It will sync Favorites, Files & Media. When I try to click the Contacts and such in my OPTIONS I get an error message and it says I need to "install and run outlook". I have Windows XP on my laptop and I have Outlook Express but I don't use it. I tried opening it and it didn't help.

If my previous Mogul worked just plugging it in shouldn't this one?

How do I fix this? I am quite perplexed and in need of my contacts and calendar!

Try runnig Office Repair. That did it for me once.

I think I tried that ~ I went to Microsoft site and downloaded what I thought was OFFICE REPAIR but when I run it, it wants to know exactly WHAT I want to repair?!?

Any other ideas?!?:confused:

If you still have your contacts in Outlook Express, try this: http://www.syncdata.it/syncexpress.html

It shareware but you get 30 days to 'evaluate' it and by then you should have your data in place and backing it up with something like this to your card should you need to reinstall your contacts and other data: http://www.freewareppc.com/database/pimbackup.shtml

Hope this helps!
