drat i thought i did set the port correctly...

Shroom- I think XP Home does have some issues with com port id. I had a similar issue with mine when I first installed the cradle. Sorry I don't hava magic bullet for ya cuz I have no idea what finally cleared it up. I just kept playing around with the port designation and installing & uninstalling the cradle & it finally worked. I also had a problem the first time I took the cradle on a trip & tried to reinstall it. It thought the cradle was still there & kept giving a "Com 1 is in use by another app" msg.. Again, I just kept reinstalling it on the port & finally it worked. Not much help I know but XP does have some issues there.
*Phew* is right! I thought I was losin it as well- just recently had xp installed on a new machine, and could not for the life of me figure this one out. If you find any answers, PLEASE post! Thanks! I will do the same if lucky enough!
i started this thread as a "help w/answers" question...not a thread for users like yourself to post "NEENER NEENER I CAN DO IT YOU CAN'T"...SO IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE POST...IF YOU CAN'T PLEASE JUST READ.
THANK YOU
I use windows xp home and had a problem at first. The thing that fixed mine was uninstalling the software then reinstalling it and make sure it finds the right com port. Also leave the phone in the cradle the whole time I did it that way and it worked fine
I'm running XP-Pro, all updates, Hotsync 4.0, no problems syncing with serial or IR... I'd remove the Hotsync software, reinstall manually... don't use plug and play... i seem to remember having an issue until I manually installed. Also, don't use 3.X, download 4.0.X from palm, install and you should be good to go...
