New Zire 31 fails Hsync (XP home). HELP

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

I'm tryin to help a friend, Usually I'm on macs, and he's got a win
laptop.
I don't know that much about Windows OS

The message I got tryin to HotSync (He never did it before) is about
the COM 3 in use with something else.
What have I gotta do? How do I create another COM (where in XP ?) for
PALM zire, or how do I free up the existing one (COM3) ?

I'm italian, so please forgive bad english

Thank for any suggestions you'll give me

Thanks a lot Q, but just COM3 appears on the tab
