Hi, I have a hotsync problem that I've about given up on. I recently bought a newer Compaq Presario 1200, Athlon processer and plenty of memory with Windows ME installed and 2 USB ports which I have a Belkin USB adapter for.
I have been successful Hot Syncing twice - each time after I re-installed the Palm Software and running the WinMe usb patch. Both Usb Ports function, the Palm drivers are in and working properly. Email is set up using Outlook 98 or better.
Each time after a successful hot sync, on second use, I get a message that says Com1 is not available for use. It appears to being confusing itself with the modem, on Com 3. I also tried disabling the modem and this did not help either.
Both boxes are checked - the serial and usb for hot sync.
I'm at a loss for what to do. I even went on line when and spent an hour with one of the Palm Reps who told me that there appeared to be some sort of a conflict. No kidding.
I'm wondering if I installed Windows 2000, if this would help.
Hot Sync worked fine on my older presario using a serial connection. I've been using Palms for several years and have never had this much grief. What I don't understand is why I can successfully Hot Sync once, after installing the Palm software - 4.0.1 and the ME patch, but cannot do it twice.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
