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.
