File Installation not working on Palm T|X

Just got a TX. Used to have a Tungsten on which I had no problems downloading this software

 

Running XP Pro. Re installed latest (6.4) Palm software. Using the HotSync Manager I did a File Installation (rt. mouse clicked on add to Expansion Card (119 Mb available)/selected .prc file and got a Confirm Add window saying Incompatible Handheld file. (also tried the same on the add to Handheld area with the same results.)  If I attempt the same through the [Add...] button I get a "Runtime Error! Program <filepath>  abnormal program termination"

Re: File Installation not working on Palm T|X

If you are running XP, why are you using 6.2?  (no such thing as 6.4)

Uninstall 6.2, and go back to 4.2 that came with your TX.  Far better program than 6.2.

Re: File Installation not working on Palm T|X

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I no longer have the install CD. Going to http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/33529_en.html I see no Windows 4.2 software that lists the TX as a supported Palm device.

 

Of the software listed FOR WINDOWS XP can you advise me which is the best to use?

 

Thanks

4.2 is available for download from my "Reading the manual..." link below in my Sig.

Re: File Installation not working on Palm T|X

Thank you very much WyreNut. Somewhere on this list I ran across a place on which to post kudos to people who have been especially helpful, but I can’t find it now and don’t want to start a new topic to explore that topic. But I do want to say how much of a surprise and pleasure it is to post a question about a piece of technology people are already scrapping (and forgetting) and finding that there are still people out there willing to spend the time responding.

Thanks for the kind words!

Just click (or tap) on the yellow area with a star under a person's name to give a kudo.
