After complete PC reset can no longer synch PDA with PC

Hi there
Recently I completely re-set my PC (back to factory settings) and forgot to extract Outlook data into a separate file. Since all the data is on my PDA as well (a Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox, Windows Mobile 5.0), I thought I could easily synch from my PDA to my PC (Windows XP). But neither with Outlook/Active Sync 4.1 nor with Thunderbird 2.0/ Birdie I have been able to get my data (especially contacts!) back onto my PC.
I am most terrified of accidentally deleting the contact data stored on my PDA. Have used the software "Sprite Backup" to create a back-up, but I'd rather avoid having to rely on that...
If anyone has any suggestions (I am reasonably computer literate, but not an expert unfortunately), I would be so grateful, as I have spent days looking for a solutions, and could not find any.
Thank you so much in advance!!
