Synch Palm TX with WinXP Guest

[mariner]

I'm running VB 3.0.2 on Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy). The visor kernel module is not installed.

I've installed a WinXP guest with SP3 and guest additions are installed, as is the correct version of the Palm Desktop software. HotSync is running.

With the Palm plugged in, if I click Devices->USB Devices I can see an entry for "Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld [0100]". The box next to the entry is unchecked, but if I hover over the entry it shows "Available" and the correct serial number for my device. (So there is USB communication happening).

When I push the HotSync button, the device shows "Connecting to the desktop ..." but nothing happens in the guest.

I have tried every combination I can think of: push HotSync button, then check the box next to the Palm entry under "USB Devices"; check the box then press the HotSync button; press the HotSync button without checking the box. No joy.

The only thing I really need Windows for is to HotSync that little bugger.

If anyone has any suggestions I'm all eyes.

This may help but it was regarding the ipod sync. See if it will help you as well.
