Could be a number of things but the first thing I'd try is to turn off all firewalls (including the Windows XP one). I have to have mRouter explicitly allowed in my firewall settings to get my P910 to sync, but that might just be a quirk of my PC!
Next, have a look at your running services. Click 'start', 'run' and type in 'services.msc' without the quotes. Look down the list for anything Sony-Ericsson related and make sure that they are all started.
If you have no joy there, I'd then do a System File Check. Click start, run and type in sfc /scannow. This will make sure that all critical windows files are intact and replace any that are not. You will need your Windows XP disk for this.
If none of those work, you might be looking at a repair reinstall or even a full reinstall of XP
But I'd wait and see if anyone else has any ideas to try first.

Reinstalling would almost certainly cure the problem. Windows XP has a 'repair reinstall' option that replaces the entire operating system but leaves your currently installed applications and your personal data intact. Only problem is, it doesn't always work
Still, it's worth a try but I
STRONGLY suggest that you back up all of your important data first just in case.
What you do is put your XP disk in and boot from the CD to start the setup program. After a while, it'll ask you to press enter to start the setup routine. You'll be presented with the option to either install windows or use the 'repair console'.
DO NOT SELECT THE REPAIR CONSOLE! choose the fresh install option and after a while, it'll tell you that you already have a windows installation and offer you the chance to press 'r' to repair it. This is the one you're after!
There's a few things to bear in mind though. Very often a repair reinstall takes out all of your device drivers, just like a fresh install does. Make sure that you have all of your driver CD's handy. Also, you will need your original product key that matches the disk that you are installing from and you will have to visit windows update after the repair reinstall to ensure that your OS is fully patched.
