You may have a number of "Phantom" instances of your IPAQ in Device
Manager as a separate issue. You may need to remove those and also do
a Partnership purge of ActiveSync. Unfortunately getting PDAs to work
and work consistently with Windows can be an ongoing PITA.

 All I  have besides the pda is my printer on usb and that is all. What do
you mean by phantom instances? How do I do a partnership purge?

HI
Need some help. I have a  hp ipaq2495. Worked fine until recently cannot
hot sync.
Getting message that USB device malfuctioned. Did a clean reset on IPAQ
and
removed and reinstalled active sync. Synced once then would not connect
again. Did the reset thing again and would not work. In device manager get
the message that there is no drivers for this device installed and cannot
get
it to recognize device any suggestions?- Hide quoted text -

"Phantom" devices are device "definitions" that still exist on Device
Manager but the XP does not see this device at that "position." Since
USB devices can change USB ports, each USB port can / may re-detect
the USB device and assign a different "device" name. (Classic example
is when an "analog" modem definiation chnages to "#2, #3......")

One possible way to fix this is to access Device Manager with telling
"it" to show all devices, including "hidden" ones (Option in Device
Manager "toolbar.")

Simple batch file listed :

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
cd %SystemRoot%\System32
start devmgmt.msc

Remove all the "phantom" (aka "pale") devices.
