For some reason beyond my comprehension my active sync completely stopped working on my desktop. I think it may have been after an MX Editor update, but I don't know for sure. When I plug in the remote via USB I get the "Found New Hardware" crap but it won't recognize the remote. I also have the version 3.7.1. The only way to get around it is if when I program on the desktop I just save the file on my network and then transfer it onto my laptop. The active sync on my ancient Toshiba satellite (still running Win '98!) works every time! If (and when) that old-timer croaks i'm screwed..
