ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre appears to connect and disconnect several times during the Updater process.
This is expected behaviour of the Updater.

The device has become unresponsive after running the Treo 750 update

If you find after installing the Treo 750 update that you are unable to use the phone or network features on the device there is a recovery tool available to reset your device. Please refer to the Recovery Tool for Treo™ 750 updater to recover your device. Once your device has been reset, you can then proceed with the update process again.

After the Update completes ActiveSync tries to reconnect but is unsuccessful.

The Treo will sometimes go into standby at this point. On the PC the Updater is still open and has not completed yet. Turn the Treo On by pressing the red power button then the Updater will complete successfully.

Device is not detected after a successful Update.

After a successful update you disconnect the device and then reconnect and notice that ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre does not recognise that the device is reattached.
If your Treo does not reconnect, soft reset your device and log out of Windows and then log back in.

Keyguard settings are NOT saved after the Update.

The keyguard settings “5 seconds after power off” or “30 seconds after power off” will revert to “Disabled” after performing an update. You will need to reset these settings after the update.

'Welcome to the Pocket PC Synchronisation Setup Wizard' screen might appear when connecting to ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre after the update.
Just hit the Cancel button and ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre will continue.

General ActiveSync problems

Ensure that you have installed ActiveSync 4.5 or Windows Mobile Device Centre (Windows Vista)
