It will if you leave it in the download cradle. Remove it after downloading, replace it in the handlebar mount, and let it fall asleep. Then, remove it and do a clr all. It is now in its most efficient mode. When the battery starts to get low, HR function seems be the first thing to go, becoming unreliable, with many data drops. Q: I’m running XP Pro on a Pentium 4 CPU, and when trying to install the PowerTap Link software (vers. 1.02), I get the same crash.
