Problem: Bookmark sync only works in one direction

I have 2 computer, computer A has vista and computer B is a netbook with XP. The problem is that the bookmark sycn only works in one direction.

For example: both my computer has the same book marks (previously sync with X-mark which is now disabled). I decided to do some clean up on computer B. If Y sync computer A, nothing happens, but when I sync computer B, all the cleanup I made has been undone since computer A override all the changes I made to B.

In other words, the changes I made to B can never be applied to A.

When you're doing a "clean-up" like that you need to use Reset Sync in Tools > Options > Sync - Current Account = Manage Account and use the Replace all other devices with this computer's data option. See the attached screenshot - use the third option.
