COM1 in use problem. Palm M130 synching with Windows 7

Hi
Thanks for reading this. Hope you can help me with this problem. 
I have a Palm M130 which I have been using on Windows XP for many years.
Have recently upgraded to a new computer with Windows 7 and now I can't sync or remove the Palm software.
Everything I try I keep getting a message that COM1 is in use.
I have a Windows Home Premier 64 bit system. I know this isn't compatable with this palm but have an IR adapter I would like to transfer the information to the computer with if only I can get COM1 open.
Any help and advice gratefully received.
Thanks in advance

You must install the driver for your palm on your new system.  I had to download it from the palm support page, the install from the cd gave me the same error message.  After I installed the driver there was no further errors and the hotsync worked.

  • How many tabs can I open at a time when using Firefox 3.0.5 with Windows Xp?

    I tried to open 25 tabs in one window using firefox 3.0.5 with windows xp. It would only let me open 10. Tabs I added after 10 were added, but tabs at the begining were erased. What do I have to do to open all the tabs that I may need without changing the firefox or windows version? Do I need to open a new browser window for every 10 tabs?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • HT1339 my ipod shuffle(1st generation) is corrupted (error 1442) it will not restore.             is it possible to correct this or is it beyond repair. It worked the last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Vista.

    My ipod shuffle (1st generation) will not restore. It says it is corrupted(error 1442) Is it possible to correct this problem, or is it beyond repair. It worked last  time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Im actually tilting it up where it cinnects to my iPod, not where it connects to my computer, and i have tried three(yes, 3) different cables, one of which i bought brand new. still nothing, and i've also tried different USB ports on my computer,....nothing. Could this simply be a hardware failure of somekind? maybe a physical problem...i mean, why would i have to tilt the cable in order for my computer to actually read my iPod? im looking at the USB connector on my iPod (maybe it's my imagination, not sure) it possible might be bent, the little metal part in the port.

    Check applications for compatibility.

    PE6 seems to work as well as PE9.

  • I am using firefox 3.6.7. with Windows 7. There is no " sort by name" in the dropo down when I right click. How do I alphabatize my book marks?

    I want to alphabetize my bookmarks. I am using Firefox 3.6.7 with Windows 7. When I right click on a bookmark no "sort by name" appears in the drop down. How can I do this/

    In Firefox 3 the option to sort bookmarks is only available for folders and not for individual bookmarks.
    Easiest to sort by name is to do that in the left pane of the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) or in the sidebar and right-click the folder that you want to sort.

  • How to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

    how to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

    Get a vpn router.. I have no idea where you are in the world but you can find reasonable stuff for not too much money or even a general router that takes third party firmware like dd-wrt can run openvpn. 
    Set up the vpn router in place of the TC, as the main router in the network. Simply bridge the TC and place it behind the router. It will be accessible as part of the network via the vpn.
    This is the only safe way to do it via windows.
    http://www.dyncommunity.com/questions/18132/accessing-time-capsule-from-windows- 7-over-the-int.html
    If you google around I have seen posts about how to access TC by port forwarding SMB on the TC.. using a different port.. To me this is going to slow down the hackers by a day or two.. then they will discover the open port and access your network.. not just the TC.. they now have SMB access to everything. Don't do it. There is very little security on SMB.

  • Having problems with my Palm M600 sync with Windows 7

    I just got new compuer with Windows 7 and I have an old Palm Pilot M500.  I loaded disk but it is trying to use COM1 port and I don't have a com port.  I have plugged into the USB and have been trying to figure how to get it to work.  I keep getting the following error :  The selected port, COM1, is not available at this time.  HotSync Manager will open the prot when it becomes available.
    Well I have tried everything.  My new DELL doesn't have a modem or com ports.  I checked my hot sync, it doesn't give me a USB option, just local serial, modem, or network.  None of the other work.  I checked on line and saw a newer Hot SYnc manager ( I am running 4.0.2) I installed this and it gave me a USB option but it said no drivers.  THen I noticed that my ability to sync to Outlook went away.  so I uninstalled th downloaded hotsync and reiinstalled from my disk cause I need to sync to Outlook
    PLEASE HELP

  • Palm Z22 synch. with Outlook 2007

    My old HP 4700 series PDA has died.  Fortunately, I've been backing it up to Outlook 2007.  I tried to replace it with an HP 111, but it simply would not synch. with Outlook and I eventually sent it back.  I really don't need WiFi on the PDA, so I'm thinking about going with a much simpler model and the Palm Z22 has been recommended.  I just want to make sure that it will easily synch with Outlook 2007 so I don't have to reenter all the contacts, calendar entries and notes that are presently on Outlook.  Has anyone had any problems that I should know about?  Any comments about the Z22 would also be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Yes, the z22 will work with Outlook. However, Palm is not selling the z22 anymore. You might be able to find it on ebay...

  • I have been using iPod touch and iTunes with Windows XP - no problems.  I now have a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium.  When I try to sync the iPod with Windows 7 and iTunes it will not transfer all my photographs.  What can I do?

    When I tried to sync my iPod Touch with my new computer none of the photographs were synced.  I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.  When I did it the first time the photographs were all muddled up in their albums.  When I tried to sync again the photographs were all removed.  On the third try I received an error message something like 'Unable to sync photographs program cannot be found.' Can anyone help.  (It may be to do with Windows 7 and Libraries??)

  • Hot Synch with Windows XP and MS Office 2007

    I can not synchronize my Palm Treo 680 Unlocked with Windows XP Home and MS Office 2007.
    I see several comments regarding Outlook 2007. Is resolving the synchronization of Outlook 2007 the same solution as Office 2007?
    If so what is the solution?

    I also cannot synch my Palm Treo 680 unlocked with Outlook 07 using Vista.  It says "Hot Synch Operation Completed Successfully", but nothing did synch.  I downloaded palmoutlook07conduits.zip and there was no change.  I was synching wirelessly using Microsoft Exchange Active Synch without problems, but when I cancelled my 'data' package on my cell phone, it no longer was synching.  I tried reloading my original Palm CD, but it doesn't allow me to select 'Outlook' as my connectivity.  Please help.  And please don't provide me with a bunch of acronyms as I won't understand them!!!!

  • Palm m500 Hotsync with Windows 7 Home Basic - 32 bit

    I have a couple of old, but ever so useful, Palm m500/m505  PDAs,  which I could hot-sync with my old PC running on Windows XP.  Now I have up-graded to PC with Windows 7 Home Version - 32 bit and am at my wit's end trying to hot sync my PDA data on to my PC Palm Desktop. 
    I tried hot-syncing by installing Palm Desktop 4.1.4. and Palm 6.2.  Have both on my PC.  It did do a hot-sync but only to back-up data.  I need to view the data on my PC/Monitor.
    As I am of the older generation, (a senior citizen), could an expert give me step-by-step  simple instructions on how to resolve my problem.  My Palm m500 PDA has too many contacts to manually transfer.
    Also can I convert PDA contacts to Outlook Address Book and then hot-sync with Palm m500 series PDA ?
    Waiting anxiously for help and guidance ..........

  • How do I use HP Photosmart 8150 software with Windows 7?

    I recently bought a new PC that uses Windows 7.  When I purchased my HP Photosmart 8150 several years ago (and used Windows XP), it came with software that could be used for importing pictures, editing, cropping, printing different sizes, etc.  That software is not compatible with Windows 7.  Is there a patch or upgrade out there that I can download to get this up and running again?

    Your printer can be used with Windows 7 as the basic driver is included in the operating system. Some older printers are not compatible with Windows 7 at all.
    If you want a printer with software that has all the bells and whistles you will, unfortunately, have to upgrade to a newer model.
