You can certainly install ActiveSync without Outlook, although
obviously if you want to synch contacts, calendar, tasks, email etc
then itll need Outlook for this.
Id be tempted to get the CD working, copy the contents of the disk to
a folder on your hard disk, and rerun the install. If it craps out,
then install ActiveSync and Outlook separately.
For what its worth, the missus has an X31 running XP and in the last
week its become slow to recognise devices plugged into the USB
ports. Not sure if theres been a Windows Update thats caused
problems - probably just a coincidence, though.
