Chris,

This is all the more reason to be frustrated, knowing it is a known issue
since the last beta. It's one thing to tell you when you first run it or
until you say, "don't tell me anymore", but it's completely different to
keep complaining every singe time you start the program.

Of course, it may not matter at all now, as my Pocket PC will not sync with
my PC any longer. In an effort to fix the problem, I upgraded to ActiveSync
4.2 on Oct. 31. That seemed to work OK. But, yesterday (Nov. 2) afternoon,
Norton Antivirus told me it had updates for me, so I installed them. After
that, the PocketPC stopped syncing. It's been 24 hours now... no sync.

Norton AV to blame? Something resulting from rebooting the machine after
updating Norton AV? Who knows.

The good news is that, since I can't connect to sync, Windows Media Player
11 is no longer complaining. :-)

Don't you just love these software interactions?

Paul

PS - In all seriousness, this has to get fixed in the next couple of days,
because I'll be out traveling for the next 3 weeks.
