I love the smell of rain

In the last week, my Palm TX locks up (stuck in a loop) about half the time while Hot Syncing with my desktop PC (Windows XP). It always appears to happen at the same point during the Hot Sync; when the handheld is syncing with Outlook 2003 Calendar on my desktop. When it gets stuck in a loop, the Hot Sync screen on my desktop is showing "Installing handheld applications" and the Hot Sync screen on my Palm TX is showing "Synchronizing Calendar". At that point, I have to hit Ctr-Alt-Delete on my PC to terminate the Hot Sync operation or it would go on all day. After my TX resets, there usually aren't any calendar events showing on the handheld. Usually, all my calendar events reappear (get downloaded) after I do another Hot Sync. It's become necessary for me to set my Hot Sync setting for Calendar to "Desktop overwrites handheld", so that my calendar events don't accidently get 'wiped out' on my PC during a Hot Sync. At the present time, I'm using Hot Sync version 6.0.1 and Palm Desktop version 4.2 om my PC desktop. Any ideas what's causing this and what I can do to fix it?
