sum function doesn't save range; Macro & ActiveSync problem Excel

Recently performed a clean XP Install and reloaded Office XP + all updates
and ActiveSync 4.0. I synchronize an IPAQ 3650 with Windows CE v. 3.0. The
only Excel files on my computer are simple ones I have created. They were
reated before the new installation and worked fine. Now, when I attempt to
change data, I run into problems.

Since reloading, even though I don't use Macros and virus scan shows clean,
when I go to open an Excel 2002 spreadsheet on my desktop, I randomly get the
message: "filename.xls contains macros". When I click to "Disable Macros",
I get the message " This workbook contains a type of macro (Mirosoft Excel
4.0 or Visual Basic) that cannot be disabled. There may be viruses in these
macros...." I can then open the workbook, but is there some way other than
turning off macro security to avoid this?

On my Pocket PC, the filename appears, but instead of data it says" This
sheet is a placeholder for an unsupported sheet type" ActiveSync conversion
settings are set the same as I had them previously.

In the worksheets, I have some formulas (sums) which won't save the cell
range One of the formula's ranges does save, however, the formula does not
automatically update.

I know these are a lot of problems, but am wondering if there is any
solution other than trying an uninstall & reinstall of the programs?--

I started having the same problems after i upgraded to activsync 4.1. I
tried to uninstall then revert to the earlier version but there was a stray
file somewhere that could not be found and now i am stuck with 4.1. I
suspect there is a problem with activesync 4.1 that microsoft is not yet
aware of.
