> Anybody able to sync the P800 with Outlook XP?
Bookmark topic
Have synced my p800 with 3 different computers. Two with win-xp/office-xp and one with win-2000pro/office-xp. No problems...
Sure you don't have any limitations in your office-setup that doesn't allow other programs to access outlook?
I allways gets a question if I want to allow other programs to access outlook.

Here's my odd experience. I'm using outlook 2000 on win2k SP2. It is a corporate desktop so I can't test out updating to SP3. My .pst file is about 150meg in size. If I sync when outlook is not connected to my exchange server it takes forever (it stays quite a while on analyzing and thrashes the hard disk) but eventually completes. If I connect to exchange it seems to just hang (the hard disk eventually stops hitting as much) and it never completes. The process itself isn't really hung in the OS, but it never syncs. I'm not sure why it is taking so long (I was pondering if it was due to my .pst file size, but my other pdas - ipaq, handspring treo all sync fast and fine).

Hi!
Another thing to try:
The USB driver for the Sync station shipped with the P800 can be a bit tricky at installation. Often Windows2000 and WindowsXP finds a driver for the sync station through windows update or in the installation CD for XP or Win2000. However, according to SE support, this driver is not proper and they recommend using the driver enclosed in the CD shipped with P800.
If this solves the problem or not, I don't know, but I guess it's worth a try for you guys who have not been able to sync, and are not sure wheter you installed the enclosed driver or not.

Thanks woaow, ervil, xenious and hobbis.
I guess today I'll try to check that I'm using the "right" USB driver - hopefully I'll find it on the CD. Not sure if that's the problem though, as I am able to do file transfers etc fine, and able to browse the internal memory and Memory Stick Duo memory on the PC. I'm guessing it's some setup issue, perhaps with Outlook XP.... However, I only get the "access request" when altering the synchronisation settings - the window doesn't pop up when I actually try to do a Sync. As mentioned, I've tried installing new versions of Outlook on fresh XP installs too. Really frustrating.
Keep the ideas coming...

Ok, I checked the USB cable driver and think it's the one from the CD (SusTeen driver for USB Cable DCU-11) - for Windows 2000. No luck.
Also have Windows 2000 SP3 installed, and also the latest updates for Office and Outlook from Microsoft... Aaaargh. What could be the reason???

Still have the problems with syncing Outlook XP... has anyone tried syncing with Outlook 2000?? Maybe a "downgrade" to this might help... Really tired of this sync problem... pisses me off. Now I have to go back to Sony/Clie....

I'm using windows XP pro.
as well as Outlook XP
I had no problems synchronizing contacts but, I had problems synchronizing my calendar. Played with the settings but it didn't seem to work, so I manually entered all my calendar entries into the P800. After doing so I am able to synchronize my outlook calendar with my p800 calendar entries. That’s the only weird problem I had, with synchronizing anyways. Cause the p800 tends to crash on me at least once a day. So far today it didn't crash.. Maybe it might stop doing that

Sigh. Close to a week now, and no solution in sight. Sob.
Come on chaps, throw any suggestion you can here. I've know some people have synced successfully (although there have also been lots who haven't been able to, like yours truly), so it's got to be some setting issue...
