If you use AvantGo and have installed an upgrade (such as the AvantGo Security Upgrade for Pocket PC devices), installing ActiveSync 3.5 will prevent AvantGo from syncing properly. In addition to serial and infrared connections, ActiveSync 3.5 supports Ethernet and dial-up connections and supports both wired and wireless implementations of those standards. Further, ActiveSync 3.5 will automatically detect and configure the port that is used to connect a device to a PC, whether a serial port or an infrared port is chosen. ActiveSync will automatically detect the selected port speed and update the PC's serial port to match it. With ActiveSync 3.5, you can set the PC connection speed on Pocket PC from 19.2 KBps to 115 KBps. For more information on these issues, please see the following KB article. In addition, if you have installed the Outlook 98 or Outlook 2000 Security Update you may also need to download ActiveSync 3.5. If you have ActiveSync 3.1 build #9386 or build #9439 and you are unable to connect your Windows Powered Device to your desktop PC or laptop using a USB connection, you may need to download the latest version of ActiveSync 3.5. By intelligently managing conflicts and updating your system with new and improved USB drivers ActiveSync 3.5 more reliably keeps users up to date with all of the information they need. ActiveSync 3.5 includes dramatic improvements to USB connectivity and synchronization and critical fixes to remote synchronization. For example, this allows you to automatically upgrade from Microsoft OutlookÂ® 95 to Outlook 2002 without having to reconfigure your synchronization settings.ĪctiveSync 3.5 is the most reliable release yet. In addition, when you upgrade, ActiveSync automatically detects changes made to supported personal information manager (PIM) software. This allows customers to interface with all the devices they need through a single serial or infrared port. By automatically detecting serial devices, ActiveSync 3.5 gives you the ability to free up serial ports on a PC for another type of serial device, such as a digital camera. Install ActiveSync 3.5 with as few as six mouse clicks, without having to reboot your PC or device.
