PC Suite contact sync problem

I've been using PC Suite over Bluetooth to synchronise my Calendar, Tasks and Contacts between my 3650 and Outlook 2000 running under Windows XP.

All was fine for ages ... and then, for no apparent reason, it's developed a problem synchronising contacts. It gets as far as 3 bars on the progress window, then sits there for an eternity. Eventually I get a Windows message saying that its increasing the swap/page file size (if I do Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the task manager at this point, it shows about 1GB of VM in use!). It eventually finishes, but has not synchronised contacts. The logfile gives no error messages, but confirms no contacts synced. Contacts->Options->Contacts Info tells me I have 169 contacts in 7 groups, using 135kB.

Calendar/Task synchronisation continues to work OK.

I've logged it with Club Nokia Support, but they haven't got back to me as yet.

Has anyone seen anything similar?

Does anyone have any bright ideas on how to track down where the problem lies?

Fixed it myself ... removed the Contacts sync task in PC Suite, and then reinstated it.

Also specifically selected the Contacts folder, rather than letting PC Suite decide which the Contacts folder is. Strangely, when selecting which folder to use, it defaulted to the Inbox ... this may have been the cause of the problem all along.
