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 HotSync cable is attached.

it is not, double-click the HotSync Manager
icon in the Palm folder and enable HotSync
Manager on the HotSync Controls tab.
Double-click the HotSync Manager icon in
the Palm folder and then click the Serial
Port Settings tab. Make sure Local is
selected and that the port selection matches
the port where your HotSync cable is
attached.
On a Windows computer, click the HotSync
Manager and choose Custom. Check that
the correct conduit is active.
