5. Restart Outlook.
Cause 5 - BlackBerry device Data Corrupt

2. In Desktop Manager, double-click the Backup and Restore icon.
3. Click Advanced.
4. From the Handheld Databases list box, click the application database (for example, Calendar, Tasks) that you were configuring when the error message appeared.
5. Click Clear.
6. Click Close>Close.
Cause 6 - Duplicate Registry Key
There is a duplicate Windows Messaging Subsystem registry key on the personal computer. Intellisync is accessing the wrong Windows Messaging Subsystem for the MAPI information.
Resolution
Backup and delete any extra Windows Messaging Subsystem registry keys.
Warning: Modifying the computer registry can cause substantial damage to the Microsoft Windows operating system. Document and back up the existing registry entries prior to implementing any changes.
To perform this task:

2. Type regedit, and then clickOK. The Registry Editor window appears.
3. On the Edit menu, clickFind.
4. In the Find what field, type Windows Messaging Subsystem.
5. On the Edit menu, click Find Next to determine how many Windows Messaging Subsystem folders exist within the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder.
6. Backup and delete any Windows Messaging Subsystem folders that appear in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder other than:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cur rent Version/Windows Messaging Subsystem
To perform this task:
1. Select the Windows Messaging Subsystem folder you want to backup.
2. On the Registry menu, click Export Registry File.
3. Browse to the location on your hard drive where you want to store the registry file.
4. In the File Name field, type a name for the registry file, and click Save.
5. Select the Windows Messaging Subsystem folder you want to delete, then press Delete.
7. Close the Registry Editor.
8. Close and re-open Desktop Manager.
Intellisync will access the MAPI profile information from HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/Current Version/Windows Messaging Subsystem.
