to help me. I haven't been able to use my PDA for awhile now because I cannot HotSync with my desktop. Whenever I log onto my screen name in Windows XP, I get a message that says: Hot Sync Manager The selected port, COM 3, is not available at this time. Hot Sync Manager will open when port becomes available. Furthermore, when I press the HotSync button on my PDA, I get a message on the PDA that says: Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application I don't have a clue what is occupying this port or even how to find out. Nor do I know what to do after finding out what is occupying it. I would appreciate somebody's help because I am quite frustrated.

Check out www.abfnet.com It is my friends forum for PDA's, just put me as your refferrer. Had a nasty troll attack today. But you can get info for free apps, and programs. I have an Ipaq 2215, it does lots of neat things, but check out the site. |
| Here is the forum that I am a mod at: www.purepockets.com. They will help you. Did you check to make sure everything is connected. It sounds like your COM3 port is shot or it is loose. |

I had that happen a long time ago when I went from serial to usb. Check to make sure that you have the right settings on the hotsync . Right click the hotsync icon in the task tray and check that you are on USB if USB or on Serial if you have a serial cable. That worked for me and hope it might for you. Good Luck Steve |
