Palm OS/WinMo Software

[#1]

May 12, 2011 I decided to upgrade Desktop 6.1 to 6.2 on my home Win 7 Desktop,  the download and installation appeared to work correctly. Since I use the handheld daily (for everything) and backup at work and home every 2-3 days. I did not notice that the Calendar and Contact functions on my home desktop had disappeared for a few days. Normally at home I use the Desktop to make adjustments and additions to my data in other applications. I did not realize that Calendar and Contacts had dropped off the home PC, until I needed to update my calendar from notes at home..

I have tried to download the software and repair the installation. Still failed.

So after downloading ver 4.1.4, I uninstalled the 6.2 version.  I was unable to find the installation program for the prior 6.1. Version 4.1.4, lacks what I had for my home desktop.

Post relates to: Tungsten E2

I use the Tungsten E2 & had upgraded to 6.2 (Access) OS.  I had all filed backed up to another folder on the PD.  I lost the DATE, ADDRESS, MEMOS & TO DO categories on the Palm Desktop.  I tried to re-install 6.2 (the categories were still lost); I uninstalled 6.2 & installed 4.1 (but could not import files from my backed-up files).

The solution was to uninstall 4.1 (I used Windows uninstall) & to re-install 6.2.  The missing categories were still missing.  Right click on the Palm Desktop shortcut, click on Properties, click on Compatibility, put a check mark  in the Administrator Box, click on Apply & click on OK.  The missing categories returned including the data that was in them.

HI,

I am looking for help with my E2.

I cannot get my hand held data into the new version of Desktop for the contacts and calendar.

Plus, HP won't talk to me unless I drop them 24.95 which I may have to do.

Can you help or direct me to some help?

Thanks

@RJM - your question has been asked and answered many times in the Windows Hotsync section of this forum.

Please do some research there, then reply in that section of the forum if you have further questions.

Oh Happy Day!  It worked.

I had to wipe out my computer and couldn't reload my Palm data. I did the same thing with uninstalling and reinstalling different versions of Palm Desktop.  Every couple of weeks I would try again with no luck.  Today I must have used the right Google search terms cause I ran across your post.  I would never have figured out about clicking on the admin button.  

Thank you, thank you!  It's all back.

I had the same problem then ran across a post on the same page as yours - it solved my problem! Here is a cut/paste from it:
