USB Link cable

I spend a fair chunk of my time unscrambling PCs or removing viruses etc for clergy friends (who are mostly highly computer-illiterate).

The main tool used is my laptop (IBM Thinkpad R31) and a USB-to-USB link cable (made by a firm called High Edge, and labelled HE100). That has done sterling service for some time for transferring files and virus-killers etc.

For the last couple of months, it won't work. I get an error message "Bulk Read Error 11" when I run the USB link software. It does the same between my desktop and the laptop, where it used to work fine.

I think (not sure) that this started to happen about the time I installed XP SP2.

I'm using an HE100 link cable, with GeneLink 1.08A. I think the software is by a separate supplier from the cable itself, so there may be a different software package out there that will work OK. Anyone know of a source? Google has failed me so far.

Anyone else use GeneLink or the HE100 and have any advice?
