Are there any issues with updating the version of active sync on a host pc to version 4.1? I installed version 4.0 on a (Windows PX Pro SP2) host PC which came with my Sprint PPC-6700, and then updated to version 4.1. HOwever, the updater hung when it got to "updating usb drivers" and I had to reboot/reset the host pc.

Thanks!

Did you disable the ActiveSync app first?

If its active, it won't over-ride the active program to install new drivers.

Remove the 6700 from the cradle, turn off activesync and remove from the USB port.

Thanks for the advise, I probably did not have active sync disabled. However, your comment does raise an additional question in my mind: are the usb drivers included with the MS activesync 4.1 download compatible with the Sprint PPC-6700 phone?

Prior to installing activesync 4.0 off of the CD that came with the phone, I actually tried installing activesync 4.1 from the MS web site. The installation completed properly. However, once I had done this, active sync 4.1 would not detect my phone at all. I then uninstalled 4.1, and used system restore to "revert" my drive for good measure.

Then I installed 4.0 from the Sprint CD and all was well.

Then, following advise from various forums, I decided to upgrade to 4.1, which let to the scenario I described in my original posting: the installation of 4.1 hung on "updating USB drivers", quite probably for the reason you gave.

Now, if I try to install 4.1 again, this time with active sync off so the USB drivers presumably get replaced, I wonder if it will work at all.

I'll give this a try, when I have enough time to redo things if I have to!

Again, thanks very much for the pointer!

I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.0 (Build 4841) which I believe is the newest (Nov 2005)

I had no problems upgrading and no sync problems.
