palmV won't sync on WindowsXP home

[rp9i]

I upgraded from win98 to winXP Home.
I installed my hotsync manager and desktop software and was able to successfully sync.-- ONE TIME.

I use serial port COM2. I've checked the device manager, the device is working normally.

I took my palmV to work and tried to sync there. It works fine on a WinNT. So I know my pda is functional.

I am using outlook express. -- But not to sync. Is there anything there that might be hogging the serial port?

Is there another way to test it?
I've tried the "hyperterminal" test.

I've even re-installed windowsXP.
I've downloaded the latest palm desktop and hotsync manager too.

I figured it out.
My computer has wired COM1 and COM2 backwards.
I changed the option to COM1 and it worked.
I should have tried that first.:rolleyes:
