A card reader such as SanDisk will solve a synch problem because you may access the card just as you would another disk drive. The reader will also read cameras and MP3 players.

It also depends on which Windows version you are using. USB Hotsync only works with Windows 98 and above, and 2000.
Presumably, you have bought the Serial cradle as well as the bundled USB cradle. Also, check the following:
1. Select only Local USB under Hotsync Manager.
2. Disconnect any Iomega USB ZIP drives that you have connected.

I want to be able to use my USB cradle with Outlook 2000, not invest in a serial port cradle. I have a very simple config with no zip drive. How can I make the USB port support my Visor and Outlook?942

Install the USB driver from your software provided by HandSpring. Once it is installed, download your files, putting them into a new folder or the folder provided by HandSpring so they can be found easily. Open the folder from Outlook by clicking new in files, and browse to your folder. After that Outlook may automatically find the new files. You also may be given alternatives within the Handspring software as to where you would like its files to be exported. Go here for Handspring support.

I have spent hrs on the phone with handspring cust. support. Their solution was to suggest a serial port. I just want it to work thru USB. Is there anyone out there that uses Mindspring with Outlook 2000 thru USB.942

Quincey, I already suggested a card reader which has a USB connection, and being an external disk drive will connect with any program you desire.

Mindspring? You mean Handspring?
Yes, it does work. I've installed my Visor Deluxe and its USB cradle on a few machines, and they all work fine - even on an old Packard Bell Pentium 133 with an addon USB card and Windows 98.
On which Windows version is your machine running?

At last, a possible solution. Windows 98, Outlook 2000. Demension XPS D266. Two USB ports avail. Neither works. If changes to config are required I will need step by step instructions. Thank you.

You could always sell it and get a REAL Pocket PC that runs Windows. ;o)
