Archived from groups: comp.sys.hp.hardware (More info?)

hi,
since i try to sync my hp5550 with outlook 2003 under windows server
2003 with active sync 3.7.1
i got this message:
---
Synchronization cannot be started because this desktop computer could
not access necessary information. Please restart the computer.
-and-
Synchronization cannot be started because you are not able to log onto
the network and access information. Restart your desktop computer and
synchronize again.

i'm running an exchange server on this machine, but i olny want to sync
with my personal folder in outlook, though i tried to sync with
exchange but i dont need it anyway since i have all my stuff only in the
personal folder.
i never had an older version of active sync on this pc, but tried to
reinstall either outlook or activesync, both without success.
i also tried to save my personal folder with a password, but active sync
even dont ask me for this, the message seems to appear
earlier.

has anyone an idea, i couldn't find anything yet...

thanks,

wolfgang
