I have a VDX with USB and serial cradles. I have two problems:
1. One day I synched with the USB cradle on Win 98 and the very next day, it would not synch. Wondering if it was the USB port on that machine, I installed the Desktop software on my brand-new PC downstairs (running Win 98). It doesn't work there, either. So, I figure it's the cradle. I just can't figure how sitting by itself overnight could have affected anything. Anyone else had a USB cradle go bad?
2. My serial cradle (on WinNT) still works. However, I have to hold the VDX down on the cradle to get a decent connection. I think the slot on the back of the VDX is prbably worn down enough that it doesn't seat like it used to.
Do I just need to buy new cradles?

Try a soft reset* first. Sometimes when I can't synch USB, a soft reset fixes it.


* Insert a paper-clip or such in the "reset" hole on the back of your visor.
