Palm + Cachemate + Vista

[+Team_LPD]

Is there such a critter out there. Can't use my Palm m515 on my laptop because it won't work with Vista, which is on my laptop. I can use it on my desktop which is running XP, but I'd like everything to be on one computer.

It looks like your problem should be answered in a month or so. So your m515 will work with Vista then.

 

Sorry, that's not much of an answer.

 

Good luck!

So far it isn't going to happen, the sticking point is the QuickInstall part of the m515 software. Now there are ways around it, just copy the .prc, pdb, or whatever directly to the Palm's expansion card with a card reader and it will work. Of course you will have to use the XP loaded computer to get the initail install of the program .prc.

 

I am in the same boat, my main use computer has Vista, but the back-up has XP, so guess which one I use most for Geocaching purposes?

Its not really a problem, but since getting my laptop, I'd like to do everything on one PC. I can live with the way I have to do it now, load the Palm using the desktop and everything else is done via the laptop.
