    I have an iPaq 1955

    My old laptop died, so I got a new one.

    I reinstalled ActiveSync 4.5, and it connected OK. However, when I select 'Tools | Options' on my laptop AS session, and try to select 'Contacts' for this PC, it tells me I must un-select contacts from 'Windows PC' (which is my Home PC), and when I do that, it tells me it "must remove all contacts on your pocket PC".

    What the HECK is with that? I don't want to lose contacts I have entered into my iPaq while waiting for my new laptop! What ***** decided that was necessary? Just sync the confound thing!

    More imprtantly, how do I sync without losing my contacts on my iPaq?

    Back up your contacts and follow ActiveSyncs instructions
