I havent really done much beaming with my visor, but when I tried to beam Zap2000 to a friend who has a Palm 3 it didnt work?!?! Then he tried to beam me a program and is also didnt work?!?! We checked to make sure beam recieve was on...and it still didnt work...Then we played IR Pong and that worked

Can anyone tell me why beaming doesnt work?? or is it just my visor??? IR Pong worked so i dont understand why beaming programs didnt work..
Thank you

I've had the same problem. I usually soft reset and that takes care of the problem, temporarily...

Are you over-clocking by any chance? It's been reported that it can adversely affect beaming. It's also possible that the apps you're trying to beam are copy-protected thus preventing them from being beamed (just like the built-in apps).

I had the same problem when my friend bought a Palm IIIxe. On the advise of another post, I overclocked my VDX to 20Mhz and it will now beam to his. Hope this helps.

I am using the After Burner hack..at 16 MHz
but should I turn off After Burner or set it to 20 Mhz?

hi, vinie, try overclock to above 20MHz first. If it doesn't work, then try disable afterburner.

i had this problem over the summer (beaming from VDx to IIIxe) and this may just be a fluke, but we tried beaming to eachother multiple times and it didn't work until we pulled the two units MUCH further apart (2 - 4 feet instead of within 1 Ft of eachother). For lack of a better explaination, it's almost like they had to be in each other's beam 'focal point'.

Strange, but it worked and still does to this day...
