P800 Sync Problem

In my sync station setting, only the checkbox for
synchronizing Contacts is enabled however it is pointing to Windows Address Book. Calendar, task, jotter and messages
were disabled and I can't enabled them for synchronizing.

Called the SE support and the lady replied that my default addressbook is not MS Outlook which is why the other components were disabled.

However, I tried setting MS Outlook as my default email client (with several instructions I found on the net) and the contacts is still defaulting to Windows Address Book which is part of Outlook Express and not MS Outlook. Calendar, Tasks and Jotter are still disabled.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

believe it or not. I've been researching these for more than 1 week now. Posting in almost all forums and yahoogroups and nobody can give me a clue. I even found another forum from somebody with the same problem (although I can't remember where).

Hopefully the resolution I found can help other people:

I'm using Windows XP, Office 2003
1. Install Office 2003 Service Pack 1
2. Install Office 2003 Add-in: Microsoft Outlook SMS Add-in (MOSA) from
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdate/CD010798351033.aspx

Voila! Now Contacts, Tasks, Calendar, Jotter, etc are all enabled and all drop down has Microsoft Outlook. Now let's just hope it will synchronize correctly.
