Hi, I am using Sync Toy 2.0 to synchronize my files between the network and my desktop computer at work, and a 250GB portable HDD. I have been using this fault free for nearly four years. Last week it suddenly started to throw this error at me - "Exception During preview: Failed to Detect Changes."
I have four folder pairs that I am syncing. Three of those are between my network drive and and the portable HDD - no issues there. The folder pair that is giving me grief is the one between the secondary HDD on my desktop machine at work and the portable HDD. I tried to free up some space on the desktop HDD (there was only 1 GB free) but even with 10GB free, the same issue occurred. I have tried to do some searching on the net regarding the error code that comes up in the log (0x80070017) but it only comes up with Vista install problems and DVD stuff - I am running XP, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! An excerpt from the Sync Toy log is included below.
Thanks!
