When I plug into the USB, the XP system tray shows the USB device
being installed and then says your device is ready to use. The IPAQ
shows the connecting to host window, but Active Sync 4.5 does not
connect.

Dave,

Does the 'connecting to host' window remain open for a long period of
time, or does it vanish after a second or two?

Which IPAQ model is this?

Cheers,

Simon
