I'm trying to install Activesync 4.1 on my laptop, but it says the same error message each time I try and it says I should update my Windows XP Service Pack, but on the download page on microsoft.com it says it will work with SP1.
Is that a mistake? Will I have to upgrade to SP2?

I have an old Compaq Ipaq, I use ActiveSync 4.1 and it works fine. I have Windows XP Pro. But then again, I have XP Pro SP2 so maybe you do need to upgrade, but I highly dont think thats the case.
Try updating your SP2 at http://www.microsoft.com and go to Microsoft update. It shouldnt take very long to update. It is quite possible that you might need to upgrade. I think SP2 has more security features, so you might want it anyway.

I'm pretty sure one of the requirements for AS4+ is XP SP2.
Be careful, though, as ActiveSync 4 creates a virtual network connection and if you upgrade the SP2, the Windows Firewall will be enabled by default and may block the transfers.
