I have tried to connect my Dell Axim to my laptop. It would sync fine to my desktop, but it crashed so I need to install it on my laptop. I get through installing the CD and then it goes to sync and does not recognize that the cradle is plugged into the usb port. It just keeps saying that it is not connected. What is wrong? Do I need to install drivers because this laptop has Windows XP in it? I purchased this Axim in 2003 and just want to continue using it. If you can help please let me know
Well windows vista doesnt need any software to run the axim, it has a hardware feature on it to detect and sync to it. Ive never heard of this. I would be able to help better if i was in an instant message session with you and able to see things better. If you have google my account is: clintchance if YahoO! clintchance1101 hotmail: [email protected] (yeah i know, i dont like to change the username often.) If you can contact me on one of those i can help you better. Im usualy on after 3:00 PM CST

The USB port works fine with other items. I have used my scanner, wireless mouse, and flash drive in that port and they work just fine.
I believe I have the software installed correctly. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it a number of times. When I try to connect to the Axim, my laptop cannot detect the Axim. The connection that comes up says that Com port 1 in Available, Com port 2 is not installed, Com port 3 is available, Infrared Port is not installed, and USB port is available. I do have the cradle for the Axim hooked up in the USB port. The Axim is in the cradle. I have tried numerous things and nothing works. I believe that it has something to do with the laptop has XP. My desktop that crashed was about 9 years old. It had Windows Millienium on it and then upgraded to XP. I have even tried to connect the Axim to my new computer that has Vista on it and I cannot. This is very frustrating. I wonder if there is a download that I need to be able to connect this. I have all my original software, I did buy the Axim new in Feb. 2003
can not update my axim at all
You have the active sync software installed right?
Is the hardware bad? can you plug something else into the port and it works?
