[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] lost functional PocketPC calendar

[John Kruper]

Thanks for the links Ken... my device is a Jornada540 running PocketPC 
2000. The only "update" I've found for this device/OS combination is a 
MS Service Pack 1 for PPC2000 (containing Webview.dll, Wininet.dll. 
Inreplce,dll, Ntlmssp,dll, and Schannel.dll).

The Microsoft mobile website has only the Service Pack update (from 
what I can find).
The cewindows.net site doesn't offer any updates/downloads, or info.
The HP site offers only the original HP Jornada540 and ActiveSync CD 
ROMs (plus a picture viewer cab)

All of which means I'm still stuck.  :(
