Windows HotSync

[#1]

Just got new computer with Windows 7 - can't get my Palm Pilot Tungsten E to load on to system - if anyone has any suggestions please let me know - how do I transfer contact information from Tungsten E to my IPhone?  (or I will just give up and start over again) - I know that's the coward's way out, but don't want to spend a lot of time on this. thank you so much,

Which version of Palm Desktop are you trying to install?  What version of Win7 do you have?  32bit or 64bit?

If 64bit, you will not be able to sync via a cable as a driver has not been written.   This leaves only wireless methods available.  The E can only sync via IR since it has no BlueTooth radio.

Please read the sticky post at the top of this section for tips:

I let the battery go completely down and after I recharged it and did a soft reset the screen doesn't respond to the stylus - when I reset it it asks for location but won't bring up a list of cities, and likewise, nothing else seems to work either.

I have a back-up chip and could restore it if it would work in the first place.   I put the chip in and it asked if I wanted to backup or restore but when I tapped "restore" nothing happened.  I removed the back up chip because I don't want to lose that info. 

Is my only option to buy a used one (Amazon.com is the only place I can find them) and use the back up chip on that one?  How can I insure against disaster?
