Synching 2 P900s on the same computer - (hermes.mdb)

0 replies · 2,791 views · Started 03 July 2004

I recently tried synchronising my wifes new P900 on my computer and got the following error:

"The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file �C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Ericsson\Sync Station\hermes.mdb�. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data."

We have different user accounts but are both administrators so that can not be the problem.

I reinstaled the PC Suite and tried synchronising her phone and it worked. Only problem was that following this I had the same error when I tried to synchronise mine.

It would seem that as soon as one person synchronises for the first time it locks to that person.

I have emailed Sony Ericsson support but if anybody can offer any help it would be VERY welcome!
