I often have the same thing happen with XP Home. So, that is why I hurriedly get the ActiveSync set up via USB, and then start using the wireless ActiveSync. But, in case you're not able to use the wireless, have you had any better luck connecting to ActiveSync using the serial port? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Turner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2006 6:52 PM Subject: [Braillenote] Active Sync, Keysoft 7, the PK and XP Pro
Greetings, This is primarily directed to Humanware staff, but if anyone else wants to chime in, feel free. I completely uninstalled ActiveSync since I couldn't get it to work. I cleaned up the hard drive. I reinstalled ActiveSync 3.8. I plugged the USB cable into the PK. I told ActiveSync to "get connected" and it worked. I launched KeyWEb. I went to www.bookshare.org, logged in, searched for a book, downloaded the book onto the PK's Compact Flash card. As I was looking around the Bookshare page, my computer made that disconcerting noise of a usb device being unplugged. Mind you, I had not touched the USB cable. A few seconds later, I heard the USB device connecting sound, then the disconnecting sound. Meanwhile, XP Pro popped up the message that a USB device connected to this computer had malfunctioned, etc. To say the least, I am truly tired of this. I cannot be the only one on the planet experiencing this. it behaves the same way on my XP Pro machine at work. Does XP Pro just dislike Humanware? Any help here would be appreciated.
