> When I upgraded to Microsoft Office 2008, I turned on Microsoft Sync
/> Services to sync my Entourage calendar and Contacts with iCal and
/> Address Book. It worked fine until I installed the latest patch, 12.1.2.
/> Now, Microsoft Sync Services is constantly crashing, with only the
/> following error message: “Microsoft Sync Services has encountered a
/> problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”
Try repairing your database with the database utility (launch Entourage
pressing the Option key down).
