Hope this is the right venue for this subject.
System crashed. Had to reinstall XP pro. Was then unable to HotSync pda.
error message says: "COM 1 unavailable. HotSync manager will connect when it becomes available."
I have no idea how COM 1 became unavailable. To best of my knowledge I changed nothing when I reinstalled OS.
Used MS suggestions on "help" to find out whats wrong, how to fix, but they are so complicated Im not sure I did them correctly, but I did them several times with no results.
Asus P4P800 SE MB with only 1 com port so I cant change to another port.
If anyone can help I'll appreciate it. PDA unusable since 3/22, would like to get it running again.
Thanks in advance.
