Another unique problem faced is when you already had a partnership established and for some reason you are displayed the dialog, which needs you to setup the partnership again. However, it does not allow you to use the old partnership name since it displays that the partnership name is already in use and needs a unique partnership name.
This occurs when you have not deleted the old partnership information on the
Desktop PC. Follow the steps given below to delete the old partnership
name:
Disconnect the Pocket PC from your computer. In ActiveSync on the Desktop click File -> Delete
partnership Delete the old partnership name as it appears. If
there are other partnership names along with it and you do not need it,
repeat the steps and delete those as well. Connect the device and follow the instructions to create
a new partnership.
After having deleted the partnership, you find that you are still unable to use the old partnership name and are displayed the following dialog:
This is occurring due to fact that there must be a backup file in a folder created with the previous partnership name.
Example:. If you have named your earlier partnership "Pocket_PC"
and had taken a backup, then the Backup.stg file will be placed in a folder
called "Pocket_PC". Usually the folders are located under the
following path in Windows XP (The drive letter being the drive where you have
installed ActiveSync) --
\Documents and Settings\****** \Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles\
While creating the new partnership, it is detects this name is already taken and
therefore you might not be able to name partnership - "Pocket_PC" .
If you are unable to find the exact path, then search for the folder or file (*.stg).
If you find the folder, then you have the option to rename the
folder or delete it. Then establish the partnership with the desired name.
Another option would be to restore the backup file since it will restore the old
partnership. For restoring the backup file, please visit Chris De
Herrera's site below ---
