Yeah. That might sound ridiculous to some of you, but I'm in a bind. I'm passing off my disused Palm Zire 71 to a friend who can actually make some use of it. However, the cradle port in the Palm isn't working for some reason; I thought it was the cradle itself at first, so bought a new HotSync cable, and it still doesn't work. I'd sync with infrared, but the IrDA drivers won't install on my PC because I'm using a highly customized version of XP which doesn't like 16-bit executables....
To make a long story short:
I can install Palm programs via infrared transfer from my XDA IIs, but I can't register them because many of the programs require a HotSync ID to be registered. Because I am incapable of doing a HotSync, I was hoping there happened to be some method (software or otherwise) of HotSyncing a Palm via Pocket PC - using infrared. I need to get a HotSync ID into this Zire 71 one way or another, and my creative problem solving is nearing its limit. Thanks!
