I am receiving the following error message "The file '\Windows\AppMgr\Install\Microsoft Handheld PC 2.0 SP 1.CAB' is not a valid windows CE services setup file." on a Compaq C-Series palm top. I have had synchronisation problems with this machine and a Dell GX1 previously but found the desktop was running Active Synch 3.x, which I assumed was too recent a version on such an old palm top so rolled back to 2.2. This cured the problem for a while but I am now receiving the above error. Any clues?

Have you attempted deleting that file from your palm top? Your system is attempting to apply a service pack that does not apply to the CE version that you are currently running. Another solution might be be to back up all your data, hard reset theunit, and restore your data.
