GSAK/CacheMate

[+RV CREW]

I just got a new laptop that runs on Window Vista. I downloaded the newest verson of GSAK and I downloaded CacheMate and I install my Palm software. I am able to to download individual GPS eXchange File from the cache page and then Export to CacheMate PDB File. and then do a HotSync and transfer the info to my Palm. If I do a pocket query and from my email open the zip file and drag it onto the desktop screen that works just fine. My problem is when I open GSAK and try and drag the file from the desktop into GSAK it won't go into GSAK. I can still do this on my older compter but would like to be able to do this with the laptop.

Try turning on "Run as administrator" for GSAK. You'll get the "permission" prompt everytime you start GSAK but that allow you to drag n drop. I alway start GSAK and import my PQ's, I have not done any drag n drops. I also pull my sd card from the Palm TX and drag the PQ file to it and then let Cachemate update.

Try the File -> Open menu and browse to the directory where you saved the .zip file and see if it opens that way - at least that'll let you know it's not a GSAK issue.

Or

Setup GSAK to open the attachment while it's on the email server.

 

Not sure if it's a Vista issue or not; I don't use it and probably won't.
