Help HTC Sync

HTC Sync, version 3.2.10

This program has been amazing! When I first got my HTC 4G (in April of 2011) I downloaded and installed HTC Sync to be able to sync with my version of Outlook 2003. I don't use Google calendar, OR any Cloud applications. Anyway, it was seamless! It worked great for about a year. During that time I got others using it...made me a very loyal user.

A few weeks ago, it stopped sync'ing w/ my contacts in Outlook (it still syncs with my calendar...thank goodness). The sync program will start, then stall until it will eventually say "No Device Connected". Then a minute later will start again, only to stall and repeat the process. I've called HTC tech support and they advised me to uninstall the HTC Sync software, re-download the latest version and then re-install it. I did, and it didn't work...same result.

I called tech support again and this time they told me that if I had any contacts where either the First Name or Last Name was blank, it would cause this crash, so I needed to edit each contact to make sure there were two names. I have 1,340 contacts, but I went through each one and made sure. To those that were blank, I added a period or an underscore to the blank space to at least be a "filler".

Same result.

Called HTC again and they were out of ideas.

Anyone here have any ideas?

Thanks,
Scott
 
When you uninstalled htc sync did you uninstall the drivers as well?

If you didn't, try to delete these as well, then redownload and try again.

After that, I'm out of ideas. :(
 
Just throwing this out there, but would a new, or a different usb cable help?
Or perhaps the usb port on the phone is fudge-y?
I don't use htc sync but sometimes my cord/port is temperamental.;)
