The configuration files used for synchronization are corrupt.
Resolution

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\
If the Application Data folder does not appear, clickStart>Help and search the Windows help file for the topic To display hidden files and folders.
3. Open Desktop Manager and synchronize your BlackBerry device.
Cause 2 - Port Speed Configuration is Too High
The Desktop Manager port speed configuration is too high for transmission to the BlackBerry device. This cause only applies to serial port users; it does not apply to USB port users.

3. From the Maximum Speed drop-down list, select a lower port speed.

1. Ensure your mailbox is the default MAPI profile.
1. From your desktop, right-click on the Microsoft Outlook icon and select Properties.
2. Click Show Profiles.
3. If the drop-down list at the bottom of the window does not display the correct MAPI profile, select the correct profile.
4. Click Close.

Cause 4 - MAPI Set to Local Cache Mode

2. On the Tools menu, clickOptions.
3. Click the Mail Services tab.
4. Clear the Enable offline access check box, and click OK.
5. Restart Outlook.
Cause 5 - BlackBerry device Data Corrupt
Data on the BlackBerry device has become corrupt.
Resolution
Remove the corrupt data from the handheld database.
1. Connect the BlackBerry device to the personal computer using the cradle or Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable.
2. In Desktop Manager, double-click the Backup and Restore icon.
3. Click Advanced.
4. From the Handheld Databases list box, click the application database (for example, Calendar, Tasks) that you were configuring when the error message appeared.
5. Click Clear.
6. Click Close>Close.
Cause 6 - Duplicate Registry Key
There is a duplicate Windows Messaging Subsystem registry key on the personal computer. Intellisync is accessing the wrong Windows Messaging Subsystem for the MAPI information.
Resolution
Backup and delete any extra Windows Messaging Subsystem registry keys.
Warning: Modifying the computer registry can cause substantial damage to the Microsoft Windows operating system. Document and back up the existing registry entries prior to implementing any changes.
To perform this task:
1. Click Start>Run.
2. Type regedit, and then clickOK. The Registry Editor window appears.
3. On the Edit menu, clickFind.
4. In the Find what field, type Windows Messaging Subsystem.
5. On the Edit menu, click Find Next to determine how many Windows Messaging Subsystem folders exist within the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder.
6. Backup and delete any Windows Messaging Subsystem folders that appear in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder other than:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cur rent Version/Windows Messaging Subsystem
To perform this task:
1. Select the Windows Messaging Subsystem folder you want to backup.
2. On the Registry menu, click Export Registry File.
3. Browse to the location on your hard drive where you want to store the registry file.
4. In the File Name field, type a name for the registry file, and click Save.
5. Select the Windows Messaging Subsystem folder you want to delete, then press Delete.
7. Close the Registry Editor.
8. Close and re-open Desktop Manager.
Intellisync will access the MAPI profile information from HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/Current Version/Windows Messaging Subsystem.
Note: If this procedure does not resolve the problem, enable advanced logging for Intellisync and contact BlackBerry Technical Support for further investigation. For more information, see the Support Knowledge Base Article KB-01451.
