Therese: You might want to check your connections setting in activesync. This is found by arrowing down one more item, past Get Connected, to Connection Settings. Be sure the first item there is unchecked.

I no longer have this cable, so bought a null modem cable. Both ends are female, and have 9 pins each. They fit fine into the correct ports on the PC and the Braille Note, but I can't get the two devices connected to each other. > I'm not sure if the problem is the cable, or if it's something else, since I haven't used Active Sync in about six months. I'm still running Keysoft 3.6, which I realize is an older version, but it worked fine before. In any case, I can't update until I get Active Sync to work since I initially purchased the Braille Note, the power chord didn't come with the super disk drive, so I can't use that. I have tried using Active Sync 3.7 instead of version 3.1, but that didn't help. When I try to connect, the PC shows that it is checking Com1 and USB, but it can't find the Braille Note's connection. > If anyone has any ideas about what the problem might be, I'd appreciate your help. Also, if I do need a new cable from Pulsedata, how long does it generally take to be delivered? I need it fairly urgently since I have to read the books I have scanned for college, and can't use the DiskDrive. > > Thanks in advance for any input, > Therese McCabe > > P.S.
