I am trying to get both of these device to use palm desktop for sycronization.... the treo is using the handspring USB drivers... and the clie.. I am assuming is using a different driver set.. so thier shouldnt be any problems there. I created 2 user accounts - Treo & clie for obvious name sake. both are plugged into USB ports on the back of the pc. The nx70v I am able to hot sync.... the Treo... keeps trying to install handspring USB drivers... it finally does from finding them locally on the harddrive... still will not hot sync. If I reboot and depending on which device is plugged in... it will hotsync. sorta... its still flaky. SO how can I get both of devices to behave.. I dont want to sit there and have to reboot.. or swap wires in the back. Thanks in advance. __________________ www.aabestcomfort.com

And for the palm software, both palm and sony have different versions of palm desktop so their compatibility might not be there . . . . yet they still store .dll files and drivers in the same windows directory and cannot be changed to another directory (unless you know some way to alter the palm desktop to search elsewhere for it's system files) __________________ The PBM . . . . ------------------------

If not try installing the one for handspring in addition to the sony one and see if the works (make sure to install to different directories). If that doesn't work, try syncronizing one with a different program such as outlook and let the other one sync with pd. Good Luck

So I've resorted to just downloading, installing, and beaming him the programs he wants. __________________ "Elmo knows what it's all about!"-new hokey pokey Elmo.

I tried that as well,

I even tried using Act 6.0 with act for palm software... nothin works past this problem.

I was puzzled because I DID have the palm desktop installed... my computer is on crack sometimes. thanks for the file..its installed. __________________ www.aabestcomfort.com
