+Miragee Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Did you check on the Palm website for a patch or upgrade for their Palm Desktop software. I have had problems with this laptop that runs Win XP Media Edition. The Palm HotSync is not compatible, but I have been able to send the .pdb files, Exported from GSAK, to my Palm using a little program called Pilot Install. I only get the Blue Screen of Death once in a while now that I am using that, instead of every time with the Palm HotSync. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Make sure you get the latest version of the palm synch software to run under vista. Quote Link to comment
+Team_LPD Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Palm .pdb files do not currently work under Vista. I have a Palm 515 and use my desktop which has XP to load the files. My laptop is running Vista and I can't use it to load the .pdb files. Quote Link to comment
Blue_Stone Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Can anyone verify Palm has released an updated version of Palm Desktop to work with Vista? Last I heard they didnt have a version usable with Vista. Quote Link to comment

+archeangelsk2002 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 is anyone using windows vista to upload .pdb files to palm (cachemate) from gsak. my windows xp computer died and not able to transfer the file this way. any suggestions? i tried to use vista with my palm tx hand held and cachemate. i am very disgusted with windows vista. i ended up paying 150.00 to convert my new pc from vista home basic to windows xp pro. i havent had any problems with .pdb files. the problem that led me to converting my once vista pc to xp pro was no support or no patches available from the palmsource website. try checking out www.palmsource.com. i didnt check recently for any patched or related things due to my no longer using vista. there may now be current patches and updates. best regards archie Quote Link to comment

The workaround is to put the .pdb file on the sd card (assuming your palm uses one) using the reader on your pc then pop the card into the palm and "import" the file. It's slower but it does work.

+hisgrace1 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I attempted to save onto my sd card put it back in the palm but I don't see where I can import it from the card Quote Link to comment
