You may not be able to establish a USB connection to a Windows Mobile-based device in ActiveSync 4.0 and in ActiveSync 4.1

On This Page

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft ActiveSync 4.0 and in Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1, you may not be able to establish a universal serial bus (USB) connection to a Microsoft Windows Mobile-based device. You may experience this problem after you successfully connect and create a partnership, disconnect, and then try to reconnect.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, disconnect the Windows Mobile-based device. Then, reconnect the Windows Mobile-based device.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. In ActiveSync, establish a USB connection to the Windows Mobile-based device.
  2. In ActiveSync, click to clear Allow USB connections.

    The USB connection is broken.
  3. In ActiveSync, click to select Allow USB connections.

    You expect the USB connection to be established automatically. However, the USB connection is not established.
Note These steps must be performed when the Windows Mobile-based device is still connected to the host desktop computer.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft ActiveSync 4.0

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.

I am frustrated because NONE of these workarounds have worked. I disable the firewall completely, shut down the antivirus software, uninstall and reinstall AS, reboot, restart, and hours have gone by with no positive results. Windows still shows that a Windows Mobile Based Device is in and activesync cannot establish a connection...Help please!
