    I get this window now when I sync my PDA with Windows Mobile Device Center in Win7 64bit:
    There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, 
    create an association in the Default Programs control panel.

    When I first stared syncing, everything was fine... this is a very recent install. It synced fine before I installed Office 2007, including Outlook. After I installed Office it
    synced fine too, but then I realized that I could sync with Google and decided that I didn't need Outlook at all on my system... I just used it for syncing and backing up my
    Contacts anyway. After I uninstalled Outlook, I started getting this pop up whenever I put my PDA into its cradle... even though I have all email and contact syncing turned off locally...
    Google is used as a fake Exchange server and it syncs fine that way... after reading some forums, I installed Live Mail onto my system, hoping that having an
    email program installed would make it self default, but alas that is not the case. Everything in the Control Panel Default programs seems to be ok, and Live Mail is
    my default email program... what else am I missing here? Thank you!
