Should I ignore the HP install CDROM, and just install ActiveSync 3.8 manually (which apparently supports Outlook 2003 whereas AS 3.7.1 doesn't).

I am new to the forum but I hope I can help. The software I had with my hx 4700 was the same as yours but loading it was painless. I didn't load outlook from the disc, just didn't tick the box, as like you I was already running 2003 on the PC. I did load Active sync 3.7.1 and then downloaded the upgrade at the Microsoft site. I am now running version 3.8.0 (Build 5004). It was straightforward and no problems have arisen since then. So my advice is load and register then upgrade. That's how I did it a couple of weeks back and all went smoothly, well at least for me, however you know what computers are like!
