Using HP ProtectTools

In either case, a blue lock icon will appear in the Taskbar at the bottom of the Today screen during decryption. When the icon disappears, decryption is complete. Typically you will notice that the Pocket PC responds more slowly during the encryption/decryption process.

You must authenticate yourself and wait for the decryption process to complete before synchronizing using Microsoft ActiveSync. If decryption is not complete before synchronization begins, ActiveSync may not be initiated. To correct the problem, disconnect and reconnect the device after decryption is complete.

If you enable Server Synchronization on ActiveSync, it is recommended that you do not select a Mobile Schedule to automatically initiate synchronization. Since authentication and decryption are necessary when the Pocket PC is turned on, automatic synchronization will not work properly when HP ProtectTools is enabled. The same problem may also arise when using other server-based synchronization products.
