Dell Axim won't sync

Before installing NIS2012 I was able to sync my DELL Axim handheld pc which links with my outlook 2003.   I am presently using windows 7 which synced with no problem when I first bought the computer.   The last time I managed to sync I had Avast and zonealarm installed.   Any ideas on how I can sync my DELL Axim?   I've looked at the smart firewall area under program control but it's not listed and everything is on Auto.  Any help or advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks
