Cingular 8525 Synchronization

I'm the proud owner of a Cingular 8525 phone/pocket PC. Overall, I like it a lot - but I've had a terrible time with getting it to synch. Under Vista (from which I have now thankfully escaped), it sort-of worked... sometimes. Under XP, I made the mistake of installing ActiveSync 4.5 - and nothing worked at all. Eventually, I found the key to removing 4.5 and putting 4.2 back on: when the device is connected, go into Device Manager, find the device and uninstall the driver. Then reboot, and finally reinstall ActiveSync.

Pain in the rear, but it worked really well.
