Ok, so last week I decided after a long period of deliberation that I was finally going to buy a Zire 72. I've been looking at PDA's for a while now, and the 72 fit my budget and needs nearly perfectly. It shipped over the weekend, and I got it 2 days ago. I charged it and the next day decided to get to know my new friend a little better. This being my first PDA and all I've got some serious learning and adjusting to do. Additionally, I've got some problems and issues that I can't seem to find solutions to elsewhere, so of course to the web I go. Now, my first question is about hotsyncing and the fact that I can't get my 72 to do it. So. I've installed all the software provided, and have hotsync manager on. I plug in all the necessary usb plugs, and turn my 72 on. Then I make sure the settings for hotsyncing on my 72 are correct and press go! Yet, it just sits there for a minute, and then says connection can't be made to the computer. Now, I think it may be an issue with the computer not detecting the usb device, but I can't see why. I know the usb ports work since I have plugged and unplugged my scanner a number of times to make sure the usb is operational (the scanner is currently unplugged). I don't think any of the surfaces are blocked, since it's brand new. Now, I really don't know what the deal is. Please if you have any suggestions post here, or feel free to e-mail me or whatever. Thanks for your help. And if you need anymore information about my situation just ask, I'll be here.
