following:

third-party software to synchronise. For
more information, consult the company
that makes the PIM.

your computer, and make sure the Files
synchronisation option is selected (see
Changing which applications sync).

reboot your computer, insert the
Windows Mobile Getting Started CD,
which came with your smartphone, and
then repeat the installation process (see
Reinstalling the desktop software).

If you’re not sure whether this software is
installed, reinstall it (see Reinstalling the
desktop software).
