Problem configuring Desktop Sync
When I try to configure Desktop Sync with Outlook 2007 in Windows Vista, I receive an error code 1008 when it tries to open Outlook to select the folders. I am unable to proceed.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi Tom,
I did a bit of research and found a few things to try.
I found one reference to a program called Stardock Objectdock that was causing problems with sync and Google Calendar. Turning off that 3rd party program seemed to help in some instances. If you happen to be running that program, you might try turning it off.
I read some other posts related to the same problem with Google Calendar Sync, and some folks found a workaround by closing Outlook when they want to sync.
Finally, a MS Knowlege Base article referred to an error 1008 being a file locking error, caused by some virus protection programs locking exchange-related log files. So, you might try turning off your virus protection to see if that is the cause.
Sorry I cannot be more specific, but we have not encountered this error previously so my suggestions are meant to try and narrow down the cause of the problem.
Let us know if you have any luck with trying any of those workarounds.
