For ppl upgraded to windows xp sp3 and cannot use activesync

I just figured out that it was due to my firewall settings.
You must add 4 parts of your activesync software into "trusted"...then everything is fine.

Reply here if you cannot figure it out.

Dear I was facing the same problem but the problem was resolved when i uninstalled the active synch => go to program folder => microsoft active sync folder, and deleted all the items in this folder. I installed the active synch 4.5 again and now its working in my Win XP SP 3. There is no need to restart your computer.

I hope it will resolve your problem.
