Syncing Two Seperate Phones With One PC

Hi - I'm a long-time lurker on the forum and am struggling with a PS Suite problem

Here is the situation.

I have a 6680 and the GF has a 6630

WE both have seperate user accounts on my Windows XP Pro (SP2) pc.

I want to sync my phone with my to my Outlook and syc her phone to her Outlook.

I have my sync running no problems, but when I log into my GF's account it won't let me run the get connected wizzard. I cant remember the excact wording, but it says something about no connection types available, and that I should re-install PC Suite.

If I un-install PC Suite and re-install it on my GF's login, it still won't work on her login, but it still works on mine.
If I un-install and then delete any evidence of Nokia and PC Suite from the registry, and re-install, it works on my GF's login, but then not mine.

Has anyone else had this problem? It's driving me potty as I spent 3 hours on the problem yesterday to no avail.

I've tried the Nokia registry cleaner app too, but there was nothing to remove.

I'm getting a N70 and giving the GF my 6680 and obviously want to have them both synced and backed up properly. I know I can use the phone-to-phone backup tool, but still want to get the GF's 6630 backed up properly

Help!!!

It should work (I haven't tried such a thing myself, as my PC is my PC and nobody elses 😉 ), but make sure that you specify in the PC Sync settings (button on main window when you launch PC Sync) which Outlook profile you use for the different phones (PC Sync > Settings > Microsoft Outlook > Select Folders).

Have you ensured that both you and your GF have administrative rights ?

We both have admin rights.

I can't even set up the phone to work with PC Suite let alone configure the profiles/folders
