[hakeem5454]

around this time last year i was connecting my clie with my computer and it worked fine and i stopped using it for a while When i went to plug it in today it says:

the connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup up and try again

what should i do?

Looks like a bad USB connection. If you have a USB hub, unplug the USB hub then replug in the USB hub and try again.

Some USB hubs seemingly have a problem where Windows randomly reports the USB hub as "Unknown device".

If you see that, you're required to reset the USB hub.
