    As stated in my other reply to you...

     

    On your XP computer, you need to download and install Activesync 4.5. You also need Microsoft OUTLOOK 2003 or higher if you want to sync your PIM data.

    Outlook is part of Microsoft Office which needs to be purchased or  Microsoft OUTLOOK can be purchased as a standalone product.

    You can get a 60 day trial of OUTLOOK 2007 here.

    Office Mobile is for the device.

    Try that download of the trial of Office 2007. Then connect your device, and Activesync will prompt you to set up a partnership. Windows Mobile 6.1 will connect in the same way as previous versions of Windows Mobile.

    Re: windows mobile 6.1 for windows XP

    Has Activesync prompted you to set up a partnership as in that guide?

    Did you check off the items that you wanted to sync - Contacts, Calendar.....

    I would select just one of the items to sync first of all - either Calendar or Contacts. Then after the sync, look in OUTLOOK and you should see them there.
