Media player sync

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hello,
I have a problem with license synchronization between my PC and my Pocket
PC. About half of the files I try to play on my device cause an error: "The
license for this file is not valid."

Is there a cure ?

I did sync the pocket with media player, but license somehow got lost in
translation.
Maybe it's the option 'create folder hierarchy..' that's causing the
problem, because I've copied the files again without using this option and
now the files play without a problem.

In the mean time I've lost the buttons(grayed out) 'create folder
hierarchy..' and 'settings..' in the wmp10/sync tab/display properties and
settings - any thoughts ?
