Palm Pilot Won't Synchronize
- Thread starter webrabbit
- Start date
you haven't given us much to work with. we really need the computer's operating system and service pack, which computer model, which pp and its o/s.
that having been said, i ran into a similar problem. i acquired a new dell laptop with no serial ports. i did find an adapter that would allow the 2 to connect, but needed software to tell the computer that the USB port was supposed to emulate a serial port.
i got the software and was able to synch, but it messed up my o/s (WinXP w/ SP3). i managed to figure out the problem (with a little help from my friends at dell) but was then forced to realise that i had to shelve my trusty pp in favour of an ipod touch. even then i am having challenges with it.
unfotunately, the only company making new non-phone item like the pp is apple with the touch.
good luck

Well, it's Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (SP3).
I have the driver for the adapter cable. As I said, Hyperterminal recognizes it (as COM3
I told the Palm Desktop software to use COM3:, it initially wanted to use COM2: where my internal fax modem is.
Does anyone have experience with a small tablet pc with wifi?
