TimeCopy 1.4 seems to not work

[Alex Ethridge]

Running Windows 2000 Pro with all updates. Running Palm desktop 4.2 and TimeCopy 1.4 on my TX.

It looks like TimeCopy doesn't work. I have synchronized several times over the last several days and I have checked the Palm's time against my computer's time each time and the Palm is always 2 minutes faster than the computer.

The only time they are the same is when I set the Palm manually to match the computer. Even then, over the next week or two the time on the Palm drifts even though I sync every day.

Did you install the PC conduit? It has been working for me.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the PC conduit?

If you used the directions in the manual (here (http://vons.free.fr/palm/timecopy-manual.html)), you should have intalled a conduit that will show up in the Hotsync Manager. Unless that is there, the time from your PC has no way to be communicated to your handheld. The application on the Palm by itself will not result in synchronizing the time.

I was a long-time TimeCopy user, but I now have NVBackup synchronize time to a time server wirelessly after each nightly backup. TimeCopy worked fine on all of the various Palms I've used it with, probably from the very beginning through my current TX.

Yip, I've been using TimeCopy since my Palm Pilot Pro days and it rocks. Just install and configure the conduit and it will work fine.
