Problem Solution
I cannot connect
to my computer
using the
Desktop Cradle.
■
Be sure you have installed Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7 or
higher on your host computer before connecting your
iPAQ Pocket PC to it.
■
Be sure your iPAQ Pocket PC is connected to the
Desktop Cradle, and that the cradle is connected to
your computer.
■
Be sure your iPAQ Pocket PC is securely seated in the
cradle and is making contact with the cradle connector.
■
Be sure you are running Microsoft Windows 98SE, Me,
2000, or XP and that you have installed Microsoft
ActiveSync 3.7 or a later version on your computer.
Also be sure you are connecting directly to a USB port
on your computer and not through a USB hub.
■
Uninstall and reinstall ActiveSync.
■
If you are running personal firewall software, try
disabling it. If you are then able to synchronize, contact
the software vendor to information on configuring the
required exclusions to eliminate this problem.
