specs:

dell laptop running xp pro with no serial port

palm IIIe with serial port cradle..........now using the serial to usb converter

installed usb converter driver downloaded from palm.com...device manager sees palm device when plugged in

installed palm one software downloaded from palm.com

I cannot get it to sync for some reason. I went to another computer using the serial port and it sync right away. I am lost. Can anyone shed some light?
 
You probably need to upgrade the OS on the Palm IIIe handheld to Palm OS 4 since earlier version of the OS did not have the capability to sync with WinXP or the desktop software Palm made avaiable for WinXP. Unfortunatly, palm discontinued selling the upgrade CDROM and don't make the upgrade available as a download from their website. So you would need to either try purchasing a CD with the software for about $10 to $15 on ebay or try to get ahold of a copy through other means.
