35920 2002-02-16 13:38:00 My Ipaq3800 PocketPC software crashed (fatal error in shell32.exe). After checking with Compaq, I did a hard reset,and tha machine came back to life with an intact operating system. All data lost - BUT - I had backed up all to my hard drive via ActiveSync3.5. I then found ActiveSync refused to restore data to what it saw as a new (and different) mobile device. Compaq tech tried but couldn't advise me how to get around this. To seek help from Microsoft requires the product name to be entered - but the list does not include ActiveSync. Seems Microsoft not only write bad software, they don't want to talk to anyone about it either. Any ideas? Guest (0)

Active Sync should do the same thing. I would harass Compaq about it in the first instance, it must be able to handle this.
