I am computer stupid, so would appreciate it if you would speak as if you are talking to a 5 year old.....

Thank you,

I am having the same problem with my Tungsten T3.  It apprears our PDAs are not yet compatible with Win 7 but lets hope that Palm can work something out soon.

I have a new laptop with Win 7, I used the transfer software to load programs ect from my old laptop which had Win XP, part of the transfer was my Zire 72 desktop program which installed, when I tried to sync the Zire to the new computer to upload all the info for backup it wouldn't sync.   I right clicked the palm desktop icon and then left clicked properties, the screen showed a number of tabs one of which said compatibility, I clicked it and there was a box available which asked if I wanted to use the program as if it was XP SP3 (service pack 3).  I the clicked apply and everything started working.  Hope this helps.

Your answer was so easy to understand...but alas.....I still can't sync my zire.....

I have been wondering the same thing.  I was disappointed when I had to get a Vista machine, and my Zire 72s wouldn't sync.  I've been frustrated about it ever since.  After hearing about Windows 7 I was excited that maybe I would be able to use my Palm again.   In researching Windows 7, I was wondering if the Professional version would work better than the Home version for this purpose.  I have not purchased either, yet.  Is there anyone who knows?

I love my palm and am having the same problem.  New computer with Windows 7 and I can't hot sync.  What gives?  Is there a fix I don't know about???

I have The Palm zire 72 04 and all the information that was stored there completely disappeared. Erased! It will not sync with windows 7. Do I need a new usb cord, or is this Palm obsolete?

P.S. I had a ton of stuff stored in that Palm and dearly loved it. If there is nothing I can do, what gives?

Yes you can cable sync with a 64bit or 32bit windows 7 computer. If you have a 64bit system then you need the 64bit driver from Aceeca. There is a post called 64bit drivers are here that gives links and how to install the driver. There is also much discussion on the subject. It sounds like you have lost the info and I do not believe there is a way to get it back. In the future use a backup program that puts everything on a memory card so you will be able to get it back.http://forums.palm.com/t5/Windows-HotSync/64-Bit-Drivers-are-HERE-Thanks-Aceeca-corp/td-p/337516
