It's unlikely a ready cure will be found.
For instance, many install Windows and forget motherboard drivers. The USB fails to work (with the PDA) and Hotsync does nothing.

Since I bought it I have had no issues on my computer with the hotsync process. I gave the Zire 71 to her and placed the software on her computer. It will hotsync with mine, but it won't on hers. It never initiates the hotsync I just times out. I have tried all the tests and fixes that I read in this forum, but none works on her computer. I can't figure out why it won't hotsync.
