I am attempting to connect a Pocket PC via a serial port to a new Compaq D530SFF running Windows XP. I get noises like I am connecting. I have Active Sync 3.6. This scanner is for Best Softwares Inventory management software. I get an error stating "Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. Winsock services could not start due to a critical error. Error 10054. Please reconnect your device. If the problem persists see the troubleshooting section of your Microsoft ActiveSync help." I have restarted, uninstalled all software, and reinstalled to no avail. Any suggestions?
 
Sounds like you're set to sync over the network. Make sure ActiveSync is set for the com port you are trying to use.
