CAUSE

This behavior can be caused by one or more of the following circumstances:

  • The Entourage database needs to be compressed or is damaged.
  • The conduit settings are incorrect.
  • The cables that connect the cradle and the computer are not secure.
  • The data stored on the Handspring Visor is damaged.

RESOLUTION

    This site contains helpful information and downloads of the Desktop software. For some downloads, you need the serial number of your Handspring Visor.

    3. Verify that the settings are correct.
