System conduit wacked?

I think something wacky has happened with my system conduit. A few weeks ago, my Prism locked up and I had to start from scratch. On my first sync, I changed the System conduit to "Desktop overwrites Handheld". I have since changed it back to the default: "Handheld overwrites Desktop" but now, it always take a long time to sync as it backs up almost every file on my computer nearly every time I sync. Anyone know what might cause this?

You want to set it to "Synchronize." then it will only transfer those files which have changed.
Your current setting means it's copying every file from the Visor to the computer, every time you sync. That's what's taking so long. Since you got your files back on the Visor, you only need to sync the changes.

I am not sure why it would suddenly take so long. The default setting for System is "Handheld overwrites Desktop".

You cannot choose Synchronize with the System Conduit.

Did you make any changes to any of the other conduits?

All the other conduits are set to synchronize. I'm a little baffled myself!

[goes, looks]
oooohkay ... I have no "System" conduit.
Must be one of those little differences between a Mac (myself) and a PC (yours?)
