    Palm Desktop data recovery

    This may sound like a dumb question, but I have no idea how much you know about this software. Are you sure you don't have two Palm users now, one with all of you data, and one without? There should be a users drop down list with one or more users somewhere in the upper right-hand corner of...

    Need to view MHT files!!

    If I'm not mistaken that's a pretty proprietary format. Have you considered saving the files in some other format? For example, MS Word handles web docs like that pretty well, have you considered using Word to save the files in doc format, then using DocsToGo to view them? Alternately you...

    HOW to Setup Palm VIIx for email?

    There are a few email clients out there that I've tried, and several more I'm sure you could find by doing a quick search... www.snappermail.com http://www.markspace.com/mail.html www.corsoft.com Other than the modem and a phone cord, if I'm not mistaken, all you'll need is an ISP for Internet...

    Invalid Configuration - Terminating the Palm Desktop

    Did you install the Desktop Software while logged in as you, or a different user? As mentioned above, the Palm Desktop software needs to be installed for each user individually. A couple of items to consider while performing the install: 1. If you want other users to be able to see your data...

    Newbie. I lost my Visor. Can I Hotsync existing contacts, etc.

    If you hotsynced you Visor with the same computer you'll hotsync the PDA to it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, most PDA's come with instructions on how to migrate from an older device to the new one. Having previously supported Palm devices for several years I highly recommend following the...

    Palm PDB Beaming How?

    PDB's are gererally only available through specific applications. For example, WordSmith stores it's documents as .pdb files. To beam a .pdb file you'll generally need to go to the application that allows you to access the file's data. In other words, to beam a WordSmith doc, you need to use...

    SD Memory vs. MMX

    There isn't really a way to increase the "RAM" inside a unit (and anyone that argues that hardware hacks are available "and a good idea" for the general consumer is simply crazy). The expansion card will, however, solve the majority of a person's memory related issues if used wisely. 1. Many...

    IM/chat for Tungsten C ? and general q:

    I haven't used a Tungsten C for several months, but I don't remember a way to do it without tapping the "Home" key. I've used VeriChat a number of times for AOL and MSN (if I remember correctly it also supports Yahoo and at least one other) and like it just fine. AlphaGuy

    Wireless PDA and MS wifi

    I supported Palm-based wireless devices for a while, and test them now. In my experience (with PalmOne and AlphaSmart devices) things work pretty smoothly. Minor issues are generally smoothed out with a configuration change, or a simple router/access point firmware upgrade (free from the...

    Use Cell Phone as Palm Modem

    I don't think you'll have much luck with a serial-to-usb adapter connecting to your cell phone to your Palm (of course their are products that I'm not aware of :) Most of the people I know that are connecting phones to PDA's are using either infrared or bluetooth. Bluetooth phones are still...

    Palm database

    Did your Palm die too? If not, all you should have to do is re-install the Palm Desktop software, then sync your Palm. All of the data is on the Palm, and will be synced back to your computer. If this is not the case (you let the Palm battery die or something), let us know and we'll give you...

    Tungsten E battery

    You've lost anything that was in RAM, which is basically everything that wasn't installed when you rec'd the unit. To clarify, there are two areas of memory that you should know about: 1. ROM 2. RAM Anything application shipped from the manufacturer (pre-installed) on a handheld is in ROM...

    Best Solution for email attachments?

    But you have to HotSync (right?). The other solutions work without hotsyncing (assuming you have wireless). AlphaGuy

    PalmUSBD.sys Blue screen crash!!!

    The current version of Palm Desktop is 4.1, which likely contains an updated driver. You should try downloading the latest version as it will probably solve your problem. Let us know how it goes. AlphaGuy

    PalmUSBD.sys Blue screen crash!!!

    Can you give more details? Which version of Palm Desktop Software do you have installed (since the driver gets installed with the desktop software)? Which Palm device do you have? Are you running Windows 2000 or XP? AlphaGuy

    Yes, you'll need to re-install the the Palm Desktop software that came with the Visor. AlphaGuy

    Will palm synch on a pc and mac?

    You should be able to move back and forth between the Mac and Windows platforms without a hicup. For testing purposes I regularly sync Palm devices with multiple PC's and Mac's running a wide array of operating systems, and have never had a problem. Note that you'll probably want to install...
