Activesync - Critical Communications Error - FIX

[Steve101]

Critical communications services have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again.



I think I may have finally solved this problem. Well it works for me anyway. Here goes....

There is no need to try and re-install Activesync, as there is probably nothing wrong with it. That's why when you re-install it you get the same error message.

The way I got around this problem is this: Have a look in your Firewall program where you have a list of Blocked or Allowed Internet programs.

In here look for these programs: Windows Explorer, ActiveSync Application and ActiveSync Connection Manager.

Make sure that these 3 programs are allowed either Full Access, or Outbound Access Only.

I have mine on Full Access and it works ok.

I tried denying access to Windows Explorer but this brought the error back up again.

I think this is the only reason the error occurs and it is definitely nothing to do with Activesync.

Hope this helps!!!
