ActiveSync
To learn how to use Microsoft ActiveSync, see Chapter 2, “Synchronizing with Your Computer.”
Problem Solution
I cannot connect to my computer using the sync cable.
■Be sure you have installed Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7.1 or higher on your computer before connecting the HP iPAQ to it.
■Be sure your HP iPAQ is connected to the sync cable and the cable is connected to your computer.
■Be sure your HP iPAQ is securely connected and making good contact with the sync cable connector.
■Be sure you are running Microsoft Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP, and you have installed Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7.1 or a later version on your computer. Also, be sure you are connecting directly to a USB port on your computer and not through a USB hub.
■Uninstall and reinstall ActiveSync.
■If you run personal firewall software, disable it. If you are then able to synchronize, see the firewall software documentation for information on how to make ActiveSync to bypass the firewall.
