What about unpluging and plugging back the cable. And rebooting Treo.

Try clicking once on the hotsync icon in the system tray. Make sure there is a check by 'local USB'. Then click exit & restart the HS manager. That always worked for me.

Option 2 if that fails- get back to the HS menu, and click 'setup'. Click the 'local' tab and check to see if it's setup for the correct COM port. If you don't know which COM port it's supposed to be on, try all of them. Try HS'ing on each port until you get the right one.

Hmmm hmmm hmmm.....

Try uninstalling & reinstalling the entire Palm Desktop.

Other than that the only thing I can think of would be a bad USB port or cable.
