Here's the details (as best as I can recall).

At home Dell 8100 P IV running WIn ME w/ 4 ports on pc and a NON-powered usb hub. Presently works at home in the NON-powered hub.

At work not a Dell, P III, running Win 2000, 2 USB ports on PC, runs (as a test only) a USB zip drive -- no problem. Will not run Axim. Won't find the thing.

Tried loading, unloading, rebooting, 3.5 and 3.6. Tried both ports, even did a flash update to BIOS.

The zip drive works the Axim does not.

I really do not want to buy a new cable or anything.

Now here is one thing I find interesting.

Presently all activesync stuff is NOT loaded. The cradle is still hooked up to both the PC and the power. When I switch the USB from one port to the other the screen lights up.

So, something is going on.

What do you think or can offer.

I cannot do any significant things to my office PC, I cannot reformat the drive or add other hardware or swap out or add a new card.....

HELP!!!

And thanks.
