msimport crashes my pc!

[hcmiller]

any thoughts... i have an sj30 and a 1.1 ghz pentium with 256 DDR running XP... every second or third time i hook my clie up and hit the MSIMPORT button my entire pc crashes... sometimes it works fine and i can transfer files to my ms without any problems... but often it crashes (reboots) my pc... if i have the clie connected and try MSEXPORT the pc just locks up it does not crash but everything in windows becomes insanely slow... i am not running any hacks on my clie... i have no other problems with my alternatives (i.e. hotsyncing or with ir transfer of mp3s, but they take too damn long)... what gives?

Try to uninstall then reinstall.

tried that no luck

When you uninstalled did you go to yhe registry and make sure that everything dealing with the msimport was gone? Sometimes there are artifacts remaining.

Do you have Fast CPU installed? If so change Ms Import setting to 33mhz

Yes, that is your problem as I had the same thing occur recently. Though interestingly, my PC wasn't crashed, just suspended. If I tapped Disconnect on the PDA, my PC would respond once again.

In either case, MSImport doesn't like to be overclocked...:-)
