On again, off again...

Howdy:
I'm currently running a dual boot XP Pro/Win 200 Pro system.
I got a Moto9Qc a few months ago and established a nice sync between it and my computer running Windows 2000 Pro and Outlook 2000. Then I got fancy, did some hard drive magic and created a second boot drive and installed XP Pro (SP2). Not wanting to pay for another Office license, I did some research and found your product, bought it, installed it on the XP side and all was good with the world.
I had Birdiesync working fine on my WinXP (SP2) side until my video card blew up. I managed to get the Win 2000 side going in another computer while I waited impatiently for a replacement video card, and since my Thunderbird files all point to the same e-mail for both OS's, I re-established another sync with the Win 2000 side. This involved having to delete the previous one I had (three profiles is apparently a no-no and for some reason, it didn't recognize it from before).
The difference is on Win 2000, I have Outlook 2000. On the XP side, I don't use any MS Office products. I'm using BirdieSync 1.7.0.1, Microsoft Activesync 4.5, Thunderbird 2.0.17, Lightning 0.9 on both sides. Oh, and I could never get Thunderbird and my Moto talking on the Win2000 side without uninstalling and reinstalling Outlook.
My video card came today and my relief that the video card blowing up didn't take the motherboard with it makes my mood somewhat higher than usual but in reactivating the myriad of peripherals I have, I've discovered I can't sync anymore, getting that dreaded error code 85010014 instead of a nice, fast sync. The bluetooth connection won't sync, either, but that's not a major concern for me. I want to be sure the cable syncs first. I'll play with the bluetooth later.
So, all things being equal (the new video card is identical to the old one, so no new configurations there, and the XP side would not boot up at all in the other computer, so no changes there.) I'm wondering if I have to delete the device and reestablish it again? I'd rather not do that, but I'd also rather sync with the XP side than the 2000 side since I'm using it more.
Narrative aside, here's a breakdown of the sequence of events:
First successful sync on Windows 2000 using Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 and Outlook 2000.
Successful sync on Windows XP using Thunderbird 1.0.17, BirdieSync 1.0.1.7, Lightning 0.9 and Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 Bought and registered BirdieSync.
Video card blew up. (NOTE: NOT RELATED TO USING YOUR PROGRAM!!! It was a 5 year old video card.)
Windows 2000: Installed Birdiesync, Deleted previous mobile device profile. Uninstalled Outlook. Reinstalled Outlook, successfully synced Thunderbird.
Video card arrived and installed successfully.
Using the same versions as above (and as before), tried syncing. Error 85010014 showing up for the XP profile. Reinstalled Birdiesync. Same result.
What suggestions do you have? I'm all ears here.
(EDIT): I uninstalled everything, reinstalled it, deleted the profiles, lost all my contacts (I had them saved) and can now sync, so I think it's all good again. But BirdieSync seems to not like syncing between two different computers at all. Thanks anyway, but I solved the problem.
