I have the same problem that you have, running USB on a Compaq 233. Here's something that worked for me: set up an ethernet connection. Like you I couldn't upload more then one album in one sync. After setting up an ethernet connection like someone suggested elsewhere on this board I did 2 subsequent uploades of 4-8 albums without any problems.
