I got the package as a gift from a friend in the USA.
I contained the hand-held, the USB cradle and a CD.
it was a new closed package.
the CD contained a version 3.0 Palm Desktop application that (Palm web
support confirmed) was not compatible with the USB cradle.
downloaded version 4.1 and finally had a USB option to select during
installation.
I installed as admin because they said in WinXP it should be done this way.
I was still not able to synchronize.
I went back to log as myself and had to install the app a second time
because it did not show up for my user account.
I selected USB again during installation and it showed up again in the
Hotsync tray icon BUT the synchronization either with the cradle button or
with the Hotsync palm application was still failing all the time.
when Device Manager was open I could always see a new unknown USB device
appear with a yellow question mark during the synchronization attempt, that
vanished right after its failure. it had a "code 28" (unknown device) in its
properties.
I checked that all the dll files mentioned in the message group replies were
actually in place.
I moved the USB connection cable from the front of the pc to the rear and
tried synchronizing again in both methods again and it failed again with the
same features I mentioned before.
palm support only tells me to reinstall the same way they told me the first
time (so this isn't getting me closer).
while I am able to charge the battery and use the hand held as a stand alone
machine, I am getting frustrated at the fact that I am unable to communicate
between the two. :-((
