You have probably already done these things but here is my usual approach: Reduce to the minimum configuration... Shut down anti virus, firewalls, networking, etc. Reinstall the application. Disconnect all unnecessary hardware, especially firewire, usb etc. Consider a malfunction in the PDA.... Make sure you are allowing active x and turn off all the other things you do to maintain a secure environment! Good luck!
