Thanks to Ron’s comment on James’s Bluetooth ActiveSych woes, we see that Microsoft has released a beta version of ActiveSync 4.5. I doubt James will use to try and resolve his issues, simply because using a beta of an already semi-unstable application isn’t something most people would do on their production systems. Then again I could be wrong.
Needless to say: for the bravest of the brave among, back up your important handheld data, download the beta and have at it! Since my ActiveSync is working at the moment, I think I’ll leave well enough alone. Here’s the skinny on the new version thanks to BetaNews:
- Changes in ActiveSync 4.5 Beta 2 help resolve issues related to setup, partnerships, and connectivity with the PC and Microsoft Exchange
- In addition, it includes a troubleshooter utility that scans your computer and device to identify problems and offers information and corrective actions to solve them
I’m very curious to see more details on the troubleshooter; current ActiveSync error messages tend to be quite cryptic.
