I have several different problems with syncing my P800 with MSOutlook XP. These are the problems;
- The sync software crashes sometimes
- After a sync, categories in Outlook OR P800 (adress, todo or notes) are not recognized, new items ends up in "unfiled"
- Some items (random) does not sync, sometimes to and sometimes from P800/Outlook.
- The sync sometimes takes 20-30 minutes sometimes only 5 min.

Clearly there are some bugs here. Anyone experiencing the same problem? I have the Swedish version of the PC Suite as well as on the P800.

Hi!

I have also found lot's of problems trying to install and use the PC suite for P800, and now I am beginning to convert my keyboard taps to keyboard fisting in anger!!!

Installing the software took forever, I always got registration timeout errors when installing, only when I chose not to install the optional (but yet necessary) programs, it worked with the installation.

Now I am trying to sync and the P800 says "error" and the synchronization in the PC also says "synchronization error", since then, I cannot sync anymore, not even after reboot... GAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! *kill, krush, destroy*

hello!
After talking to SE support I got one answer to my problems (they were not aware of the problems with categories not syncing...) I recieved the following fix for registration errors:

There is a solution to one of the problems if the user has earlier uninstalled a XTND Connect sync.
When installing P800 PC SW a number of registration errors occur
with the error message
'The specified module could not be found.'

Workaround:
For Win2000 or XP Run (in a DOS prompt or Run dialogue):
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\atl.dll

For ME Run (in a DOS prompt or Run dialogue):
%windir%\system\regsvr32 %windir%\system\atl.dll.
(The user may as an alternative reinstall XTND as an alternative
to regsvr32 but this is not a good solution as he really did not
want the XTND application)

Then insert the Pc Suite for P800 CD and in the Control Panel, Add
remove programs, Choose Pc Suite for P800 and choose repair.

Can you post how long it takes to do a complete sync with Outlook ?

I had a Nokia Commuicator before and I dropped it because the sync was so buggy and slow.

At the moment I use aTungsten T. Syncing it with a Notebook via BT takes
Would be great to some facst on the point.

I hade the same problem when sync with USB, but when I used my old cable at com1 it worked. It took some time the firs time, but now it takes under 1min, if i don't have made bigger changes.

Hi,

Now is every thing working but i still working very slow when I syncing.

I have clean up in regedit from old syncprogram.
It is very hard work and is difficult.
All old syncprogram must be uninstalled and then clean up in regedit and after that reboot the computer ann now you can install SE PC-suite.

The Coomupter I have is a Compar Armada M700 with XP Pro with the latest uppgrades from Microsoft.

Hi heiko,

Were you having the same problem as pointed out by Cunning Man in http://esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=16871&forum=2 ?

I hope to get an answer from you before performing the tedious job of cleaning up registry manually.

Thanks!
