Palm Desktop - Can download but can't access Palm Desktop for Treo 755p

After 6 months of use, no problem with my Treo.  Last week my Palm Desktop won't let me access into it.  Have uninstalled/installed at least 6-7 times each.  Desktop downloads onto computer fine but I only see the front "page" if you will.  Keep getting this error ...
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library ... Runtime Error! ... Program C:\Program Files\Palm\Palm.exe ... This
application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.  Please contact the application's support
team for more info.  
Have tried everything to override this error.  Installing, uninstalling, disengaging antisoftware, spoke with Palm Support via Live Chat (my analyst Vivian there was really helpful and tried but still stuck with same problem), have researched
forums, the net, my how to guides, everything.  But no luck.  Someone suggested to try a different desktop.  Have researched that but can't even get into my App to see which version I have cause I'm locked out of it.  I have
Windows XP Home SP 2 OS, Treo 755p Palm OS Garnet v.5.4.9.  I don't use the Treo as a phone, mostly as a
portable PDA so only USB connection to computer.  I am not tech savvy.

Thank you Pat for all your help.  Your advice worked.  A dash shows the specific folders and keys I located on my computer (for those reading this and have exact same problem, you might have same and/or the other keys).  I trust you gave all variable folder and key names. It worked perfectly the first time.  
I had not made a backup or rename of my backup folder but as it was still in my Garbage Bin, I restored it after the fact.  The restored Palm Folder files scattered all over my computer.  When I tried to reinstall after the Restore, same Microsoft error blocked me again out of Desktop.  Not knowing what files to really delete, but determination and "painfully" did a search by both my Treo username and "Palm", sifted thru every file, sent back to garbage bin, cleaned registry again, reinstalled, and held my breath as computer restarted. 
Everything is cleaned out, running smooth and I have my backup folder.
Might I add to the viewers not to save a backup of the backup folder AFTER the fact.  Either rename or save a duplicate outside of the Program Folder to avoid hours of needless work.  Again thank you so very much for helping me.  
Next:
Delete folders:
- C:\Palm
  C:\Program Files\Palm
  C:\Program Files\PalmOne
  C:\Program Files\Handspring
Then go to Start > Run
Type Regedit and click Run or OK
Then delete keys:
- HKEY_Current_User\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
  HKEY_Current_User\Software\Palm
  HKEY_Current_User\Software\Palmone
- HKEY_Current_User\Software\U.S Robotics
- HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\PalmSource

  • I purchased a book through iTunes and it downloaded. I synced with my iPad. It shows the book is downloading but that has been going on for two hours and i still can't open the book.

    I purchased a book through iTunes. I then synced my iPad and went to iBooks. I clicked on the book and it shows downloading but that has been going on for almost two hours and i still can't open the book. What gives? I have done this before no problem.

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
    and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
    and select 'inadvertently purchased' as the problem and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Or you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • TS1814 ITunes can't access the internet for updates or restores?

    I'm trying to restore my iPod but my iTunes isn't accessing the internet for it. When I tired to update it it was still unable to access the internet, it can still access the internet for previously purchased songs and for the iTunes store. I'm using Windows 8. I already tried Apple's support, but I can't find an answer, anyone know a fix?
    I've already done everything that is on the generic support pages

    I had the same problem and this is what I did. On a side note and just a disclaimer as this may not be your issue, but helped with mine. Several months ago, I noticed that my XBOX 360 was not connecting to the live service. I disregarded it at that time because I did not use the Xbox live service much. However, several days ago, I switched security on my wireless router (Belkin N1) and found that my Apple TV could not connect to the internet, but would connect to my local network via wireless. My iMac also would connect, but no internet. I reset my router to factory defaults and found that the Apple TV was pulling a 169.XXX IP address. I had DHCP enabled on the router and I suspect this may be part of the issue, but I manually assigned an IP address to the Apple TV of 192.XXX. I also assigned a manual IP address to my iMac. Now both connect successfully, but is odd how I had DHCP working on both ATV and iMac before and were working. I've tried the Apple TV via wireless and wired and had the same problem before assigning a manual IP address. I assigned a manual address to the XBOX and it now works. The XBOX was also pulling a 169 IP address.
    Like I said before, this may be an issue with my router giving out or may be an issue with Mac products but I am not completely sure. I just know that manually assigning the IP address made both systems access the internet now.
    Hope this helps and if anyone else has a solution, please post.
    Thanks

  • How can I access user permission for specific items in Sharepoint 2013 via REST API?

    I want to access user permissions for specific items like lists, documents, folders etc. via the REST API.
    Currently I am hitting the following endpoint:
    http://win-5a8pp4v402g/sharepoint_test/site_1/_api/web/getUserEffectivePermissions('win-5a8pp4v402g\\Sharepoint User 2')
    However the response looks like this:
       "d":
           "GetUserEffectivePermissions":
               "__metadata":
                   "type": "SP.BasePermissions"
               "High": "0",
               "Low": "0"
    I cant understand why high and low are both 0? I have added the user to a specific group. Also this is the same result for each of the users. Another thing to note is that I havent added the "Guest" user in the sharepoint server. So when I hit the endpoint for the Guest user, it still shows the same response. So I know there is something I am doing wrong.I want to access permission of a user for a specific item, say a document using the REST API. Can someone tell me how? What would be the endpoint?

    Thanks for the reply. Although this works for Lists, I need to get permissions of documents too. Here is what I have tried:
    http://win-5a8pp4v402g/sharepoint_test/site_1/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sharepoint_test/site_1/Documents/file1.txt')/GetUserEffectivePermissions(@user)?@user='i%3A0%23%2Ew%7Cwin-5a8pp4v402g%5Csharepoint%20user%201'
    And the response is:
       "error":
           "code": "-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ResourceNotFoundException",
           "message":
               "lang": "en-US",
               "value": "Cannot find resource for the request GetUserEffectivePermissions."
    Clearly this doesnt work for a file. Whats wrong?

  • Downloaded adobe exchange to access filters gallery for photoshopCS6 on CC.  Photoshop performance h

    Downloaded AdobeExchange to access filters gallery for photoshopCS6 on CC.  Photoshop performance has been compromised so I need to uninstall AdoneExchange & any related software.  Was advised to sign out of desktop application manager first.  How to do this?  Thanx.

    They just meant that you should deactivate your license, in order for you to be able to reactivate it again, later on. You can do that just by opening Photoshop, going to menu Help > Deactivate.

  • Can not access router page for WRT54GS

    I can not tell what version my router is because it does not say on the bottom. everything is connected properly. coaxial is inserted into the modem, and when i connected the ethernet cable from the modem to my computer i get internet. Fine..dandy. now when i install that same wire to the INTERNET port on the router, and HARDWIRE to ANY of the ports to the router it works...cool! NOW when i try to access 192.168.1.1 NOTHING. it times out. so my ipaddress before and after holding the reset power for 30 seconds, and after power cycling (power down computer, than power down router, than power modem....than power up modem, wait till all lights come on...turn on router..all lights are on, and flashing(Internet, 1, and Power) EXCEPT the DMZ and WLAN lights on the router are off my ipaddress is 68.196.15.56, and my default gateway is 68.196.0.1. When i try to connect to 68.196.0.1 which is the default gateway i still get nothing. my cable modem is a scientific atlanta POS cisco product. I even double, and triple checked my tcp/ip connection under the general tab, and set them both to "obtain an ip address automatically", and the "obtain DNS server address automatically". Was so even crazy to empty internet cache, cookies, and temp files. I use both IE and Mozilla with ALL firewall (McAfee HIPS, and the antivirus turned off). I'm at a lost...if anyone has anything or any ideas, i downloaded the software for the router, and when i go to install it i get this error "Please check the tutorial to set your computer to DHCP". no clue guys i'm a pretty pathetic tech guy if you ask me. so i leave it to ya'll

    ensure that you have the following connections done
    1)connect the modem to the router's internet port
    2)connect the computer to the router's port#1
    3)there should not be any usb cable connected between the modem and the computer
    if all of the above is fine
    1)make sure that the computer gets an ip add of 192.168.1.x and the default gateway is 192.168.1.1
    2)if yes , access the router using http://192.168.1.1 . the default password is admin

  • System exec subvi. can't access block diagram for positionin​g

    OK I am back!
    my first issue is that for some reason I can no longer attach files here for you all to see...
    Second and more to the point is how can I tell the system exec.vi to open where I want it too when access to the block diagram is password protected and I can't seem to make any property nodes for the vi either.
    I am using this vi to call the OSK (on screen keyboard) for touch screen panel.
    I would have sample to show but see number one...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks Dennis - again
    after posting i made an executible of the project as it stood and put it on my touch panel.
    I found that it called it OK and I could just moveit around and resize it as i wanted, just once. then whenever i called up the OSK it was where i left it and the same size.
    While this may be a small pain to the end user, I think i will keep it like that for now and just let whoever they are deal with it as part of the initial program protocol.
    but what about not being able to add attachments here? do I need an adult?

  • Can I access my files for backup before erasing and reinstalling?

    I haven't been able to find a thread dealing with this specific problem, so I thought I should try my luck with a post...
    On Friday, my computer crashed and I have not been able to start it again. First, I got the image of a blinking file folder with a ?, subsequent restarts have produced the normal grey screen with the apple, followed by a blue screen or by simply shutting off. Booting in Safe Mode also produces a blue screen.
    Booting from the install disk (OS 10.4) allows me to open Disk Utility, but I cannot repair the disk: Invalid Node Structure. When booting from the OS 10.5 disk, I cannot perform a repair disk: the BOOTCAMP partition of the drive is normal, but the Hard Drive partition is greyed out and indicates that the drive is not mounted.
    I just bought an external hard drive last week and have used Time Machine to create backups, but it looks like the backups do not actually contain files - just references to the structure of my computer. I have many files backed up, but I will lose many other files and applications if I try to erase and reinstall. Is there a way I can access those files now, so I can transfer them to the external drive before I try to erase and reinstall (or, worst case scenario, replace the HD)?

    I thought I would try restoring the system through Time Machine, using my external HD. The restoration process seemed to go well (no messages or interruptions). I opened Disk Utility to check the HD. It is no longer greyed out and when checked, it comes up okay, no need for repairs. However...
    I just booted up again without the Install Disk and I got a black screen this time, with large white text saying "Disk Error/ Press any key to restart".
    I pressed many keys, none of which restarted the computer. I shut it down with the power button and am trying to startup again.
    Yikes!
