Hey there,
3) When you plug in your cradle don't use a USB hub, it works much better if you plug it into the back of the computer directly.
Before you plug it in, first install MS Outlook (which came with your Axim or Office if you own it). Then install MS Activesync. Activesync will ask you to plug your cradle in at the end and plug your PDA in and start setting you up.
Hope this helps.
