No, that's *not* what he's talking about! Please read and execute the 
steps described under 
<http://www.palminfocenter.com/view_Story.asp?ID=2785>! Caution: You 
will loose *ALL* data on your Palm!

If I remember correctly you described that an unknown device shows off 
on the device manager in Windows as soon as you press the HotSync 
button. IMHO this means that your PC recognizes a new USB device (which 
is the Palm, not the cradle!), so the Palm HotSync program is working. 
Actually, IIRC the new device 'Palm' should get registered with Windows 
at the time you install the PalmDesktop und PC HotSync program.

So perhaps you should check this first: Did you perform the install of 
the Windows software as a user with administrator authorizations? 
Without those authorizations the install will not succeed! Lateron you 
can work with normal user authorizations, but in this case you have to 
call the HotSync program (and/or the PalmDesktop program) *once* with 
the option '-r' to create some necessary registry entries for this user 
as well.

As I already mentioned in my previous posting, there is no standard way 
of doing this and there should be no necessity for this either!

Where would get the data for 're-programming' from? ;-)
