I also disagree with Palm about the Windows issue. As I said, it happens
(Palm Desktop shuts down) on my XP Pro desktop at work that has been
restricted through user and group policies. It also started happening on my
home XP Pro desktop which has a standard install with no group policies or
user policies other then the default Admin and User rights.
If Palm can not solve this I am dropping them for good and going the Windows
based PDA route. At least they have 802.11 !
I am however still hopefully that we can solve this problem.
Thanks for any further help on this
