I was doing a hotsync of my Palm T/X on my Dell Windows XP system (USB connection) and the hotsync, part way through, failed. Now, the com ports show as unavailable when syncing.

When I go to Device Manager, no com ports show up. Previously I used com port 4 for syncing.

The same thing happened when I tried to update on my laptop (a Gateway running Windows XP). So, I think there may be a problem with the T/X, but in the meantime, how do I get my com ports back?

Thanks!
