[Tinyos-help] Uploading error on windows with tmotesky

[Xavier Orduña]

Hi,

It was really a nightware. The problem was that the HotSync application 
from Palmos has already created a serial port to be used with bluetooth.

I have removed any serial port using bluetooth and now its working as it 
supposed to work.

Thanks for everything
