I connected my PDA up to my computer to sync it like I have done so many
times. Windows Mobile Device Center shows it "connecting" (not syncing yet)
and then it says, "not connected". It will not "connect". I shut down my
computer and restarted and will not connect. The last time I synced it was
two days ago the same way I have done it so many times. It synced normally.
Nothing has changed since then and now. I have no explanation why it does
not connect now. I have not done anything to change anything that I can
think of. I have not installed any software; I have not changed any
settings for the PDA or computer or security settings or anything. I may
have run Windows update but I usually only get a Defender update which I
have never had any trouble with it.

My PDA connected fine two days ago. It will not connect now. I have no
explanation why.

Any ideas how to get it to connect and sync like it has always done?


Background info:
HP iPAQ RX3115 - Samsung S3c2440 Processor
Windows Mobile 2003 second edition version 4.21.1088 (build 14235.2.0.0)
I have a AMD 4400+ 64X2 4GB memory 320GB HD(way bigger than I need) Acer
computer (AM3100-U3201A) I purchased new February 2008 running 32-bit MS
Vista Home Premium SP1 box. I check for MS auto updates very frequently. I
think it has onboard shared memory for video and sound. I use Quest DSL
1.5mb service with modem direct to computer. No switches or routers or
wireless or any other networking hardware.

Thanks for the help.

Bob

You mentioned having reset the desktop...have you reset the PDA? Every now
and then, I have the same thing happen and simply removing the pda from the
cradle, doing a soft reset and putting it back in the cradle solves it.

I _think_ one issue is memory. I sometimes have problems soon after
using apps that use a lot of memory. A soft reset would clear them out
of memory.
