Others have had the same problem. Repeat step #2.

2 On the PC desktop, go to Start >Control Panel > Phone and Modem Options > Modems. Delete ALL of the "Standard Modem over Bluetooth line..." drivers. I must have had 20-30 BT drivers in this window with COMM ports higher than 9. Probably from installing the BT s/w so many times. This is the key to getting a lower COMM port number, in my case, I went from COMM 102 to COMM 9, which is an address that MS ActiveSync can see.

Keep doing this until you get a COMM port less than 10. That is the key so AS can see the device.

Good luck.
