HELP!

This keeps happening after setting all com ports to the same (6) setting.
I'm getting pretty agitated and it won't take long till certain devices will learn how to fly.
My OS is Windows XP, I've tried several installations but somehow AS doesn't recognize the Bluetooth enabled iPAQ as an iPAQ.
There is an existing partnership between the two devices.
Starting AS from the iPAQ has no effect other than the small clock rotating for ages.
After giving the ok in the AS Connection Settings screen another screen pops up saying:
"Microsoft AS cannot recognize this device for one of two reasons: *The device was not connected properly. To satrt over blablabla. *The device is not a smartphone or Pocket PC blablabla. Can anyone prevent me from doing something stupid to the equipment?
Many thanks in advance,

Pimmeke
