XP patch KB902400 cause Activesync problem
If anyone has problem with ActiveSync 4 or 4.1 recently, you might find that the new XP patch KB902400 (got installed to my machine on Sunday 10/16/05) cause this.
After it install on my PC, I simply cannot sync data at all. After several hours, I finally found a posting in the activesync newsgroup saying that this patch causes the problem. Sure enough, once I remove it, I can sync now.
To remove the patch, pull up the 'Add or Remove Programs' app from XP Control Panel, check the 'Show updates' box on top, find the entry with KB902400, then remove it.
Hopefully my firewall can protect me from whatever this patch is for... I'd rather live with that than unable to sync my PPC.

Forgot to add that if you remove this patch, make sure you change your XP Automatic Updates setting from automatically download to something else, otherwise it will download and install the patch again.
I change mine to notify me before download. This should works fine.
