Cannot Subscribe Using Windows Synchronization Manager

Hi,
I'm using two instances of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (SP2) on the
same machine. One instance is Publisher and Distributor and the other is
Subscriber. When I try to use Windows Synchronization Manager to subscribe
to the publication, I get this error:
The SQL Server publication uses features that the current version of the
Subscriber does not support. The subscriber should be upgraded to 'Unknown
version of Microsoft SQL Server'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Leila
Can you check the compatibility level of the subscription database?
Also see if you can do a simple pull subscription to see if that works.

|||compatibility level is 9, pull subscription without Synchronization Manager
works!

One more thing: BOL says that interactive conflict resolution is not
available when you synchronize via SSMS. Then why is there such an option
when you create the subscription in SSMS?

also enable interactive conflict resolution in WSM as well
