	I struggled for weeks this same problem; I have a PowerBook G4 and  
an iPaq rx 1950. The problem was with the iPaq. To fix the problem  
you need to download a utility called "HP iPAQ rx1900 Pocket PC  
Series ActiveSync Mode Switch" from the HP web site and install it on  
your iPaq. The URL for obtaining this utility is

1129_6250.html

After downloading the utility, the next challenge is transferring it  
to your iPaq so you can install it. The utility essentially fixes the  
problem that is preventing you from transferring the utility to the  
iPaq to fix the problem; sort of a Catch22 senario. My solution was  
to connect my digital camera to my computer, transfer the utility to  
the SD card on my camera, and then transfer the SD card with the  
utility on it from my camera to my iPaq. After installing the utility  
there will be a new icon under the "Connnections" tab of the  
"Settings" screen called "ActiveSync Mode". Click on this icon and  
select the setting "USB Serial Sync Mode". This should fix the problem.

Good Luck,
Warren
