i have a palm505, need to syncronize with IR port on a 98 laptop, it keeps giving error message that the port is inuse with another device.
i tried using palm IIIC with the same computer and it sync fine.
i tried using the palm505 with an xp machine and it worked fine.

I don't know if this will help but I had to disable the ability to transfer images from the port before I could sync. I don't know why one Plam would work and the other not if this is the case but you could check. You can change this option through the Control Panel and your IR Port setup.

Enjoy,

I used to have similar problem but on Win2K not 98. Choose "Wireless Link" under Control Panel and try to deselect/disable all the options under "File Transfer" and "Image Transfer". Don't forget to enable the options accordingly after you have finnished syncronise your palm, otherwise your IR port may not work as expected.
