That's supposed to be COM port 3 i believe . 
Cause that's what i'm using. Check in Device Manager whether COM3 exists and try using that. Hope this helps.
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence of your attempt !! |

COMM ports are serial ports (RSS.... cant remeber), usually a new computer has 1 (sometimes none), becasue there are less and less serial devices these days, but a old computer may have 2 becuase they were more common back then. But, some devices, ie. IrDa USB devices and  USB devices assign themselves COMM ports (virtual)... thats what your sync station's doing!
eg. I have no Real COMM ports but Virtual Serial Port 7 on my laptop becuase I needed to assign my Infrared port a COMM port!
There!

click on COM3 which has the yellow exclamation mark and find out what error it is. Maybe you have a bad USB port/cable. You can try installing a driver for it by clicking on the driver tap and choose "update driver" , and point it to the driver CD.
There is no reason why it wouldn't work on XP.
