There is a way around this. I don't have it on hand at the moment. I'll dig it up tonight, and post it once I find it. 8)

I'm still in the process of finding this...(can't remember where I had it... :bangin: )

Anyway, before I take this one step further, can I ask how your cradle is connected to your PC? Is it through a direct USB connection or have you plugged it into a USB hub?

Another thing...do you have another computer available to see if you can establish a connection? It doesn't have to be a standard partnership with ActiveSync; a guest partnership will do.

I'm trying to see if this problem is only localised to the computer you are using, or if the same problem occurs on all computers. That way, perhaps we can localise the problem to either (1) your PC, or (2) your Pocket PC.

I have tried this on three different computers... my primary desktop - windows xp pro, my laptop - windows xp home, and my work comp - windows 98 se .... all have the same response. It installs a device driver but when i click the handheld icon on "my computer" nothing is in the folder. Also, the active sync shows grey at bottom task bar with no partnership. Hope that helps. The only thing i can think of is that maybe the hard reset messed up the ROM casuing it not to no longer work properly. I have soft reset the ppc like two times when received, but was the first time it was ever hard reseted by anyone.

Hmmm...this is a bit of an odd problem. It's very unlikely that a hard-reset would have caused a problem, unless there was a "flash-gone-wrong". :P

My first PDA had a buggy ROM once as well, and I was using it one day before it went "poof" and decided to die on me. My only suggestion at the moment (unless I think of something later down the track) would be to contact the Compaq/HP support staff and see if they know of this problem.

Well i put an inquiry in the first time and they just told me to try stuff i had already tried. So that is why i came here. But just to be on the safe side i rewrote to them with detailed explanation and the steps i have already taken, so lets see what they say. I will post their response here if you are interested enough to read up on it. Thanks for all your help.
