Palm Pilot lllc

I can't get my Palm Pilot to sync on my XP home edition. Palm Pilot just sends me canned info to fix it, which doesn't work.

It works on my 2000 machines just fine.

Any ideas?  I have downloaded all the latest software from Palm. I am using Outlook to sync.

Calum:
i realise you might think i am taking the piss, but i assure you i am completely serious, why not ditch the virus traps known as windows and outlook, that are little more than overpriced toys anyway, and jump onboard the linux wagon? i have got mandrake 8.2 and , while i don't have a PalmPilot and will probably never use it, my linux distro comes with a complete complement of programs for syncing to PalmPilots. by the looks of things it is totally tooled up for such a thing.

Also, you needn't pay any money for linux if you do not like it. At worst, you can still go back to windows after you try it (although i can't see it happening), and you will not have lost a penny.

Good luck!

Grandma, forget that joker's advice, Linux is no OS for grandmas to use. (or anyone who actually wants to get some work done)  What I would do is ditch the Palm, they are about to go under anyway, and get one of the new Pocket PC's from Microsoft.  They are the best PDA's out there right now, and work great with Windows XP.  You can find great deals on Ebay, (although I don't know who would want to sell one; I have one and it's great, knocks the socks off the Palm and those pathetic Linux PDA's) or you can buy one from places like Best Buy or Office Depot.

I just want to use my moderating powers  :(

Master, I vote for blasting him.  He/she has nothing useful to offer here.
