 Works fine!, 2003-05-02
I use this product to synchronize files between my XP laptop and my windows 98 desktop over the house network. I have had no problems although it sometimes show conflicts where none seem to exist. Very helpful. A little difficult perhaps for those with less computer experience to use but otherwise great!

 It doesn't even make a good doorstop!, 2002-11-17
I have worked with Laplink 95/3.1 and had a very good experience. So when upgrading my computer and operating program this was a natural to select for file transfer to the new computer. I spent many frustrating hours attempting to make it work. Requests to the on line help generated a reference to an on line article that was of no help. I have given up. This software would not recognize a connection with the provided cable between a Windows 98 Pentium II to a XP Home Edition Pentium IV.
Incompatible with XP and USB, 2002-11-11
Have spent many hours, unsuccessfully, trying to get this product to work on XP with LapLink's USB cable -- the only fast option, the other being a serial connection. Problems include getting scary blue-screen messages which bring down the whole operating system. LapLink was unable to help... Finally had to uninstall the whole thing and at least my PC has recovered.

didn't work, 2002-08-10
I spend several hours with tech support trying to connect a Win XP desktop to a Win 98 laptop and it never worked. I formerly used version 1.52 and it did work, but was squirrelly (and not compatible with XP). Obviously no progress was made with 3.0.Plus, you can only access tech support via chat, so every time you reboot you lose them. Annoying. Bottom line -- PCSync is at best way too complicated for a consumer product.

PCSync 3.0 Buyers Beware !!!, 2002-08-06
After several attempts (and nearly 6 hours) of trying to create a serial connection to enable file transfers from an old computer (operating under Windows 98) to a new computer (Windows XP), I gave up frustrated and angry that a company could bring out such a poor product. In addition, the online product support was useless and there were no contact number to contact the manufacturer. A process that I was hoping to take an hour, has taken 6 hours to date without resolution - I would suggest that you stay away from this product!!!!
