I am wondering if your BookPort might have a hardware problem.  =
Unfortunately, I don't think this can be fixed without sending the unit =
back to APH.  As one who uses the BP every day, I understand fully how =
unpleasant this is to contemplate, but I don't see any other solution.  =
You shouldn't have to wiggle the cable around to get it to work, and the =
lock-up problem is probably related to a faulty USB port in your BP.

Sorry for the bad news,

Sarah

I doubt that the problem is being caused directly by Windows XP Service
Pack II.  I have had SP 2 installed on my home computer for a month or
more, and I have not experienced these issues at all.

Hi.  I am having similar problems to a recent topic of discussion on
this=3D20
list--book port not being recognized after firmware and software updates

were installed.  I am using Windows XP service pack two and am wondering
if=3D20
this is causing this problem.

When I connect the book port to the usb cable nothing happens.  The
software=3D20
does not launch unless I fiddle or jiggle the cable end closest to the
book=3D20
port and then I can get the book port transfer to launch.  After I=3D20
disconnect the book port it some times locks up and no amount of presses
of=3D20
the two and the b keys reset the unit.  I had to remove the =
batteries=3D20
yesterday in order to get the unit going again.  I even pressed the d e
and=3D20
f keys so as not to lose my settings and lost them anyway.  Anybody else
had=3D20
this problem?
