I have a user that has a Windows 2000 Professional machine with a Jornada attached, I just installed it 2 days ago, it was working perfectly. Today I came in and there was a note on my desk from the user saying that his Jornada wasn't syncronizing. I updated the driver and got the following error message after it searched for the new driver: "An Error occurred during the installation of the device. the installation failed because a function driver was not specified for this device instance."

Try reinstall the device with the new driver and make sure you specify the rigth path of the new driver.

I am utilizing usb on both a laptop and desktop and win 2k. It appears that if the usb device is connected to an external hub you have to unplug the device during boot and then replug the usb connect after logon has been completed. I am going to tryXP Pro to see if the situation with usb changes. Hope it helps.
