Palm z22 using Windows 7.

I downloaded the lasted version of desktop softwas which installs fine unti I get to the point of connecting my palm.  In device manager it says it has no device drivers for the z22.  It sees its there but I can't do anything with it.  Went to the support area of Palm and found LITTLE information.  there are no Windows 7 drivers. How can I get Windows 7 drivers to be able to sync with my new laptop and my palm. I realize I'm old school and have been told by many that no one usess Palm any more but I can't afford to keep buying stuff everytime an operation system changes. Having similar issues with my digitial camera.  That's the industries way of getting you to go out and buy all new stuff!  I'm not buying a new palm,  I need to get this one working on Windows 7.  Please send me some drivers!

Re: Palm z22 using Windows 7.

jello32 - I've moved your question to a more proper section of the forum.  Here you'll find your question has been asked (and answered) repeatedly.

 

Bottom line, view the thread at the top of this section about syncing a Z22 to Vista64.  Win7 works similarly.

Re: Palm z22 using Windows 7.

I don't think the same process for Vista will work for Win 7 as there are still no drivers for the Z22.  Any more ideas? Thanks

Most likely, Never.

As we have told countless users asking the same question here, Palm Inc. sold Palm Desktop to another company quite a while ago.

Access of Japan seems to have no desire to work with the program anymore since PalmOS has basically been discontinued in favor of webOS.

A workaround has been posted at the top of this section.

Re: Palm z22 using Windows 7.

According to Palm, the only way to sync Z22 with Win 7 is to upgrade to a newer product such as Palm TX and then sync your info to the Palm Tx.  You can then bluetooth the Palm TX with Windows 7.  Palm is no longer making anything but the smart phones and that is an option also to upgrade to one of those first.  I'm still not certain what to do, but may try to buy Palm TX (or any Palm product that is bluetooth capable I guess) and see if I can get my info moved to my new laptop with Win 7.  Have to search the web for a Palm TX .. maybe Ebay or somewhere else.    Anyone have more info on this ..maybe someone has tried this method?    Supposedly per Palm, no other method will work for the Z22 as it is not bluetooth.

Baloney!  Have you read the "Vista and Win7 sync instruction..." thread?  The Z22 can sync via Infra Red (IrDA)!

Re: Palm z22 using Windows 7.

After having read the agreement about posting I'm still not sure if I can post a web url here, but I did find a post from Wyrenut on another page that talked about a 64 bit palm driver from Aceeca that works.  I was able to use a USB connection (after reading about infrared and bluetooth and deciding not to pursue them, as my laptop has neither built in) that worked.  The caveat I have is that it didn't play nicely with the updated Palm software I installed, but does fine with Palm 4.2.  Also, the instructions didn't quite match what I experienced, but they are close enough that you can probably work through the minor differences.  Bottom line there is a driver out there that worked (so far) for me.
