Try using a different USB port.
Does your hand held sit in a cradle or is it just a cable from the unit to
the computer?

ok, what about the 2nd part of my post?
Does the handheld sit in a cradle to sync or just a cable from handheld to
USB?

No capitals please.

You will need to reinstall the synch software as it sets up a link to that
unit alone. Using the oringinal USB port might help, but it depends if you
have had to 'hardboot' the PDA in the meantime. If you have, then you will
need to reinstall the synch software. If you have the data you want to keep
on the PDA this is OK, but if you have hardbooted it and the data is on the
desktop, then you will need to copy it to another non-PDA area of the
desktop before reinstalling.
