syncing Dell X51v pda with entourage on a mac

[photobear]

I am having problems syncing my dell axim x51v pda to the entourage program. I altered the settings in Activesync on the pda which has created the problem. I am unable to undo this now. This has resulted in it timing out when I try to sync it followed by an error message. The message says Entourage has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.

If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this please help.

What were the settings before you altered them, and what did you alter the settings to?

o
As far as I remember in Activesync OPTIONS (where 2 different PC’s had been originally set up .) (Before I bought Mark/space to sync the PDA with my Mac. ) I deselected CONTACTS, CALENDAR, and TASKS in both. (However in STATUS both of them were only sync’d over a year ago.)
o Also in connect by Bluetooth: new partnership: I OKd : ( PowerBook G4 17” ) the MAC
o The Bluetooth works fine.
o I did go back after the PDA failed to sync with the Mac as it had, and reselected the CONTACTS, CALENDAR, and TASKS in both. However nothing changed when I tried to sync again .
o I had made changes because the PDA was very sluggish, while showing plenty of memory space, both internal and also on the CF card ( which has got a Data Backup on it BUT which continually fails to be recognized. I have tried running the PDA with the CF out. I also now use the switcher bar to ensure programs are being closed. Through this I noticed that Activesync seems to be switching itself on.
o Further to this I descovered that a selection of word files had been altered in some way. They had the windows symbol instead of the Word symbol. I deleted these , however, there are 7 data files in FILE EXPLORER with the windows symbol. When trying to open them, the message: There is no application associated with eg “mxip_system”. Run the application first, then open this file from within the application.
o Cemail: mxip_initdb:mxip_lang: mxip_notify: mxip_system: pim: WMPInfo.xml
o Within My Documents R129272Dell driver update.EXE. On the Dell site it says that this is a System Update for Windows Mobile version 5.0. This file seems to be in the wrong place, and when I try to open it it says, “Program from unknown publisher running can possibly harm the device. Do you want to continue ?
o I also tried to cut so I could move it, but it would not let me. Could this update file, or the others I v listed above be the problem ?
o Thanks for your help
