Solution
Check the Windows system tray to
make sure the HotSync Manager is
running. If it is not, open Palm Desktop
software.
Click the HotSync Manager, choose
Setup and click the Local tab. Check that
the Serial Port setting displays the
correct COM port where your cradle is
attached.
Make sure the cradle is connected
securely.
Click the HotSync Manager and choose
Custom. Check that the correct conduit
is active.
Click the HotSync Manager and choose
Custom. Check that the correct conduit
is active.
Check that the correct conduit is
installed. Reinstall the HotSync
Manager and make sure the correct
conduit is selected.
Make sure you are not running another
program, such as America Online,
CompuServe, or WinFax, that uses the
serial port you selected in the Setup
dialog box.
Backup the Palm Desktop software,
uninstall it, then reinstall it.
Move your organizer away from the
computer's infrared port.
