HotSincing the Palm Z22 in 64 bit Vista (and Windows 7)

There has been much discussion on not being able to Sync the Z22 under 64-bit Windows Vista or 7, using a USB cable. I have found a solution that so far has worked just fine for me.
Quoting from the website:
"Create an XP Mode for Windows 7 Home Versions & Vista. One of the cool features in Windows 7 is XP Mode. However, it’s only available for Windows 7 Professional and above, leaving Home Edition and Vista users out of luck. Today we’ll show you how to create your own XP Mode to run on Vista or Windows 7 Home Premium. Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows Vista are not licensed to run the free XP Mode download from Microsoft. However, if you have a legal copy of Windows XP, then you can easily recreate XP Mode with the free VMware Player. This article will show you how quick and easy it is to get a virtual copy of XP running on any computer, even if it’s running 7 Home Premium or Windows Vista."
I installed the Palm Desktop v 6.2.2 and SplashPhoto Desktop v 5.03; the work just as they did on my 8 year old laptop with XP
Here's a link to the article. I hope it works for you.

Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

There is an issue with the 64 bit Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers that causes the spooler to crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:
Deskjet 710
Deskjet 712
Deskjet 720
Deskjet 722
Deskjet 810
Deskjet 812
Deskjet 820
Deskjet 822
Deskjet 1000
The attached file contains a patch for this issue for Vista and Windows 7.
[The patch does not currently work for Windows 8 or 8.1 x64 systems. There are some efforts to address this, if a solution is developed it will be posted here. {Edit - I have not made any progress in getting the patch to work in Windows 8 x64.}]
First make sure the driver for the printer is installed. If the driver has not been installed go to Start, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer, Local Printer, choose the proper port (for USB-Parallel converters the port will likely be USB001: or perhaps USB002: ), Next, click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.
Apply the patch as follows: Log into the computer with an administrative account. Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the paper clip at the end of this post. Save the patch file to your computer, then unzip it. Next copy the three DLL files to the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3
Note that %windir% is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems this will be C:\Windows. You can click Start, Computer and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it will find the right place.
This can be done from a DOS prompt if DOS is opened with the "run as administrator" command, or from explorer with a copy and paste. Depending on your UAC settings you may need to provide confirmation. Also allow the current files to be overwritten if prompted.
This patch is not required and should not applied to a 32 bit version of Vista or Windows 7.
Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris for guidance for the patch.
Update - the following are more detailed installation instructions:
Download the patch from here. Now click on the file and open it, then extract the patch to some directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative DOS prompt by clicking on Start, All Programs, Accessories, then right click on CMD.EXE and select Run as Administrator. Click in the DOS box then type the following:
MD c:\temp
CD \temp
Now extract the patch files into the c:\temp directory (extract all, chose c:\temp as the destination).
[Update - Windows security settings may prevent these files from being used, please open Computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties. If there is a message in Properties indicating the file was downloaded from the internet and may be blocked then unblock the file before proceeding.]
Next click back in the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (stuff in green is comments, do not type them...)
DIR *.dll (this is just to verify the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others.)
Net stop spooler (makes sure the files are not in use.)
Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)
Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)
Copy hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000)
Net Start Spooler
Exit
[Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory. You will get a warning asking if it is OK to overwrite the files, say "yes".]
At this point the patch is installed and ready to print.
Note that the printers here do not support USB connections, they have only parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer does have a parallel port use it, this will likely be much less problematic than using a USB-Parallel converter.] If you use a USB-parallel converter make sure it is supported in your operating system. The following posts are flagged with USB-parallel cables that are reported to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the USB-parallel converter in addition to the driver for the printer. For supported converters this is typically supplied automatically in Windows 7. Note: the proper port to select for the USB-Parallel converters is often USB001:. I have heard of some cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well. If the port you are using does not succeed (after applying the patch) try changing the port by going to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on your printer and select Printer Properties, then click on the Ports tab.

64 bit Vista and Palm Desktop...

Wow! I've spent hours on the forum and the web because my new laptop has 64 bit Vista (and is a tablet as well). I'm a long, long time fan of the Palm having had an original US Robotics Palm Pro (in fact I still have it and the original box!) I've gone through several iterations and currently own a Sprint 700p -all this time I've been using the Palm Desktop and have loads of notes, contacts, etc. I love the Palm Desktop as a simple way to keep all my personal info together in an easy to access format.
Now I understand that 64 bit Vista won't sink via the USB but that there are solutions to synch with either IR or Bluetooth (fine, but you lose the ability to power up the 700p -guess I'll have to find the power plug). However, what doesn't seem to be clear is which version of Palm Desktop should I install on 64 bit Vista?
What happens if I load 4.1.4E under 64 bit Vista or should I use 6.2? I understand 6.2 is missing some features. Would be curious what others have experienced.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts, inputs, experiences, and opinions!
Just food for thought... if I can't find a solution that I like; I might just keep my old Dell laptop with XP running and terminal into it from my new tablet. Kind of silly, but what else do you do with an old laptop? Only problem is, I wouldn't have access to it when on the road without having to configure my router and an internet connection; but in theory I should have all my data on the 700p when out of the house.
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Just to add on to what legendeld said:
Syncing will work fine in either solution, but I'd actually recommend using 6.2 for two main reasons. The first is that certain functions of 4.1 don't work in Vista. These include the Install Tool for adding files/apps to your device and the help files.
The second reason is that Bluetooth setup in 6.2 is much easier. In 4.1, you have to create a Bluetooth serial port and then set HotSync to scan that port for incomming connections. 6.2 simply gives youa Bluetooth connection option (as long as Vista recognizes your adapter).
Creating a serial port is pretty easy with most Bluetooth implementations, so you can still go the 4.1 route. But you won't be able to use the Install Tool if you do.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor after I installed Mcafee Internet Security.
Hi I installed 1of 3 McAfee Internet Security protections on my HP laptop a few weeks ago with no issues. I Have a Dell XPS 420 desk top with Windows Vista operating
system, it’s never had any issues, until 2 nights ago I installed McAfee Internet Security (detected incompatible files and will remove) pc now only boots up to a black screen with a mouse cursor, it will show the windows logo and a hash symbol floating around
the screen. Now 2 weeks ago I installed the same program on my Dell all in one desk top with Windows 7, the same issue happen but that pc has no screen activity, I tried a back to factory reboot on this one, still black screen.

Hi,
Please install the compatible version of McAfee Internet Security:

if you have startup issue, you can boot into Safe Mode to uninstall the problematic software to go back into Windows.

I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format". Can someone please help me sort this problem, it's so frustrating!!!!!!

It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Hot Synching Palm Z22 with 64 bit Windows 7

I just purchased a new Sony Vaio running 64 bit Windows 7 and I'm unable to Hot Sync my Palm Z22 to my computer. I've been a Palm user for years, with my current one being my 3rd model and it's been my lifeline but I'm highly agitated and frustrated that the Palm folks haven't posted any updates to handle my current situation. Everything I read here indicates spending additional money to go the infrared route and some people aren't even having success while others struggled a long time to make it eventually sync. Does anyone out there have an identical situation as mine, who'd be willing to give me sound advice as to what I need to do and how to do it in order to get my Palm to communicate with my 64 bit Windows 7 platform? Thank you to anyone who's able to assist.

@MrCobol:
This subject has been discussed and beaten to death in many other threads here. The facts (again) are:
1. Palm sold the rights to Palm Desktop many years ago. Railing against Palm/HP makes no sense. If you want an update, complain to Access of Japan. They are the owners of the software, and they chose to drop the ball.
2. Many other companies have struggled to come up with 64bit drivers for their existing software (that they actually own!)
3. Palm OS devices were EOL'd quite a while ago. They were supported through Vista 32 bit. Microsoft changed things, and you chose to buy a 64bit system. HPalm has moved on to a whole new OS and devices, and support for PalmOS is nearing an end.
Yes, it would have been great if Access stepped up to the "plat" and provided a 64bit version of Palm Desktop, but that didn't happen. Workarounds have been provided on this forum by devoted users, and they do work!

PALM Z22 HOW TO CREATE CALENDAR EVENTS THEN UPLOAD THEM TO THE PALM Z22

Hello, I would like to know if anyone can advise me on how to create calendar events in say, excel, and then upload them to my Palm Z22. The reason I want to create them in excel is so that I can also update the file information to my cell phone as well.
Thanks for your assistance.....
Tony
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Hello Tony,
If you want to use Excel, then I would suggest that you export your calendar spreadsheet as a comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that data into the Calendar application in Palm Desktop. Then Hotsync your Palm.

64-Bit Vista and iTunes 8

Hi!
Just a simple question: I have 64-Bit Vista Home Premium. I downloaded the 64-Bit version of iTunes, and when I choose to install it says that it will install into the x86 Program Files folder (64 Bit Vista is backwards compatible with 32-Bit programs). This might seem like an odd question, but do you think that I should install it into the 64-Bit Program Files folder? I just don't want anything going wrong, as I just got this computer a few days ago
Thanks!

You'll find this has been an question from others ever since Apple put out the 64-bit version. [This thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8115760] gives you some background.
Apple's vista 64-bit version of iTunes seems to be a partial 64-bit version of unown degree. It does work fine though.

Will PrE4 work with 64 bit Vista or Windows 7?

Hi,
Will be upgrading my computer soon and hope to keep using Premiere Elements 4. Does anyone know about any compatibility issues with the latest OS's?

jkmck
I have seen numerous reports of users successfully running Premiere Elements 7 in Windows 7 64 bit and Windows Vista 64 bit in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the 64 bit operating systems. But, check out the AdobeTech Note on the topic:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403402.html
As for Premiere Elements 4...I know of at least 1 user who claims to be using it successfully in a Vista Ultimate 64 bit operating system. I am sure there are probably more, but I have not come across any more reports for what is now an older version.

HELP! I am in ACT 2007, Palm Centro 6.2, Companion Link and Windows Vista Syncronizing He...

I mostly blame ACT. I have 2007 and they reccomended ANY Palm. After purchasing my new Palm Centro I purchased and downloaded the ACT synchonizing program. Upon download, it said they weren't compatible. I called ACT who then said they knew exactly what I needed. A third party software called Companion Link. I purchased that from ACT. When downloading, it says it is not compatable with anything over 6.0 ..I called them. They said I can dowload the older Palm Desktop and it would work. Before I do one more thing....I want to be sure I shouldn't start completely over. I am still inside the 30 days with my Centro, which I like, but everything I need for work is on my ACT so synchronizing with that is most important. If I have to purchase ACT 2008 I will but if I can find a fix (maybe Palm OS desktop) first then I will try that. At this point, if I could move everything away from ACT I would consider that as well. I have just used it for so long to tract contacts, etc. I don't use too much of the fancy stuff. Did I mention I am on Windows vista as well. I'm sure that's one more thing to consider. I am two weeks and several hundred dollars down. HELP
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

Welcome to the Palm Forums,
Ok, thanks for all that information. First off if you sync to a lower version of Palm Desktop you will not be able to sync programs over to your device. And if you are able to it works part of the time not all the time. Also what was your other device before you moved to the Centro? We might be able to grab the information from that device (if you still have it) and move it to the Centro depending on the device type.
Outside of that there are others here that could help you with the ACT and Companion Link applications but unfortunately I don't know much about how those programs work. But if you want to move away from them message back here and I will help you.

I dl'd Firefox 4, was working great but, Firefox 4 is unable to work w/ Netflix. I hit the Netflix restart in 32-bit mode and now Firefox 4 will not open on my MacPro. I have to "Force Quit". What's the problem?

I dl'd Firefox 4 on wide release Tuesday. It was working just fine on all news sites I use. Then, I tried to use my Netflix streaming. Netflix alerted me FF4 needed to run in 32-bit mode due to its movie player plug-in. I hit the Netflix restart in 32-bit button, FF4 crashed. I've since re-dl'd FF4 and loaded it into the Apps folder on my MacPro(Mac OS 1.6.7/2.66 Quad-core/2 GB RAM/256MB GPU). It still won't open and I have to "Force Quit". Several "Reports" have been sent to Apple but, I don't think Apple is the problem. As it now stands, I can only run last version of FF on my MacPro.
I also have a MacBook(Mac OS 10.6.7/2.16 C2D/1 GB RAM/64 MB GPU) and I am able to have 2 versions of FF on that Mac. I even have the newest version labeled as Firefox4, so as to distinguish between the 2 for the purpose of using FF4 for everything but Netflix. So, what happened? What's the difference? Why won't FF4 run on my MacPro anymore?

If this were just a Netflix problem, why can I access Netflix through Internet Explorer and not through Firefox? I've been using Firefox to access Netflix for at least the past year and starting yesterday (12/6/11) Firefox doesn't seem to recognize that Netflix exists. I've tried the suggested Firefox "help" which was of no help whatsoever and may even have made life more difficult in accessing other accounts. Anyone know how to contact Netflix or Firefox by phone?
