Palm Desktop Will Not Launch In Windows 7

Well, I may have a new wrinkle in the ongoing saga of Windows 7 - Palm problems. I just loaded the Palm Desktop program to my Windows 7 32-Bit OS and then I did a Hotsync which according to the Palm Sync Manager went fine. When I try to launch the Palm Desktop program on my computer I get the Windows message asking if I want to authorize the changes and when I click OK all I get is the Palm Desktop splash screen and then the program hangs up and just sits there. I can launch other programs over top of the Palm Desktop program and my computer appears fine but the Palm Desktop program just will not complete its launch. I guess it could be said that we have a "Failure To Launch".
Has anyone encountered this and do they have a fix? Like so many people in these Forums I have been using Palm products for a long time and can't see not having one. Thanks.

This is an update to my previous post of earlier today.
I was able, after a lot of messing around and wasted time, to get my Palm to sync with my Windows 7 32-Bit OS. I got a Palm error message telling me that "Not all data was backed up". I absolutely hate the look and feel of the new 6.2.2 Palm Desktop. It is extremely hard on the eyes and the print is so tiny it is just about uinreadable.
There is also a problem, with both the Lookup and Find functions in the Palm Desktop. Neither of them work. Whenever I try to do a search in Contacts the program locates something totally different than what I wanted ie: search for Bradley and the program goes to Kimnach. The Find function is just as useless, when I try to use it nothing happens and the program just sits there doing absolutely nothing.
Palm and Palm Pilots used to be good but now they are just another loser who couldn't make it. I completely understand why Palm was noit able to make it, they simply didn't have a clue in the world and their users paid a price for their stupidity and failure to innovate big time. If I didn't have so much at stake in terms of data I would pitch my Palm into the shredder and walk away from the whole mess that is Palm.
If anyone else has run into this mess and knows of a fix or a workaround please feel free to share it. Thanks!

Palm Desktop Will Not Open on Windows XP Pro

I have recently upgraded my Treo 700P to a Centro. I completely removed all palm software on my computer, rebooted and then reinstalled it. It has been working with no problem until today. I haven't installed any new software or removed any from my phone. When I try to open the desktop on my computer it freezes at the splash screen and then I get the Windows error message asking me if I want to send a report to Microsoft or not. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling software. I ran a scan disk. Nothing I do, seems to change anything. I started my computer in safe mode and tried to open it there and still won't open. I looked at my event log and I get this same log entry every time I try to open it. I noticed on the Palm website that there is a version higher than the software on my phone, but it doesn't seem to install onto my phone during the hotsync and regardless, I don't think one thing has anything to do with the other. I have checked that my files are not read-only and that I have full admin rights on my laptop. Why did this just occur out of the clear blue sky? How do I fix it?

Try this, Locate the palm folder. (C:/Program files/Palm or Palmone/*hotsync username*
Copy the contents of your hotsync username then delete it from the original location. (Repeat for each user you have) Then try to open the Palm desktop. It should prompt you to create a new username.

TS1717 I tunes 10.7 will not launch on windows 7

I tunes 10.7 will not launch in windows 7

I am having the same problem. Like me, so many posts describe days of work with little to show for it. I have read numerous "solutions" but none work or work fully.
Here we have two of the most influential computer companies in the world: APPLE and MICROSOFT, and hundreds of posts with people asking for help in connecting their Iphone to Windows7, or in getting Itunes under devices, to show their connected IPhone when it does not do so.
You would think that Apple and Windows would have solved this problem and developed wizards to help their customers, but if they have done so, none of the many posts I have read make any mention of it.
Like many who have written on their attempts to solve the problem I have installed and reinstalled Itunes, disabled USB devices, and so one.
I am as interested in understanding what the technical problem(s) are as I am in solving my problem.
Windows has managed to recognize literally thousands of devices yet when I connect my IPHONE 4s (presumably one of millions sold) it is silent. That is as amazing to me as it is frustrating.
If anyone ever gets this figured out a gold star to you, and please contact [email protected]
Thankyou,

Itunes will not launch on Windows Vista no error code

Itunes will not launch on my computer. I have windows vista. I have uninstalled and downloaded itunes repeatedly. I have also tried all of the troubleshooting tips available on the apple support site. But none of them worked. Quicktimes works fine. It is just itunes. I even opened up task manager to check the processes and itunes appears for about a second in the processes tab then just disappears. I have no idea what to do i have an iphone 3gs and havent updated it for a few months now and cannot sync my iphone without itunes. I Have kaspersky internet protection but i doubt thats the problem because itunes was working fine until i updated it.PLEASE HELPPPPPP!

Presumably the configuration fails to complete, so every time you start iTunes it has another go.
As iTunes works normally when you plug in your iPod, you should be able to work round this by creating a new iTunes short cut.
Go to Program Files\iTunes and right click on iTunes.exe. Select: Send to>>Desktop(create shortcut). If you are lucky you will be able to open iTunes using this short cut.
However this work around does not fix the underlying problem that WIndows fails to complete configuring iTunes.

Indesign CS4 will not launch in Windows Vista

Indesign CS4 will not launch but all other CS4 programs will in Windows Vista, has been worked perfectly up until mid february, I have spent two weeks dealing with Adobe support, and finally I ran “Windows Installer Clean Up” and restarted as requested on phone call to adobe today, then ran “WinCS4Cleanupscript” which inform me that it was clean (or words to that effect) and restarted. Did new install of CS4, at registration I noticed that the Reg Form was pre filled and with my preferences which was a bit strange. After all that Indesign still does not launch but is running. Please can anyone help.

This is the earlier thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/2621367#2621367
I think the onus is on Rapport to sort its software to prevent it interfering with other applications, and there is a post in that thread that indicates that Rapport is both aware of the problem and is working to overcome it.
I would hope that Adobe itself would have picked up this problem by at least monitoring this forum, but other than adding it to the knowledgebase for its technical support, which I don't expect is an overnight thing to do, I can't see what else it would be expected to do.
Perhaps if anyone from Adobe is monitoring this problem they could chime in here and let us know what the position is. I strongly suspect that Trusteer may have been the reason I couldn't get InDesign to run under Windows 7, and so I rolled the whole shooting match back to XP. I am planning to reinstall W7 with the knowledge that I may have to toggle Trusteer on and off to run InDesign, but it would be helpful to have some assurance from either party that a fix is on its way.
In the previous thread the Rapport response implied there was reference to the problem on its FAQ page. If there is I can't find it.

HT1926 I downloaded the latest version of iTunes; however, it now will not launch, citing Windows error 127, any suggestions?

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, now it will not launch. I get a Windows Error 127 message. Any suggestions?

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Photoshop will not launch. Window indicates need JAVA SE6. Already have it, but re-installed. Photoshop will still not launch. Help! MacOS 10.10.1

Since installing Mac OS 10.10.1 photoshop will not run, it will not launch. A window indicates that it needs JAVA SE6 to run. JAVA SE6 is installed. I have re-installed and restarted but photoshop will not run and I get the same message window that I need to install JAVA SE6. How do I make this work?

Have you added any Photoshop Add-on that uses an external JavaScript. Photoshop itself has is own ScriptingSupport Plug-in and does not use an external java. Also Java SE6 is old and has security issues you should update to version SE8

Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Have you messed with versamail on the device any? Sounds like you have configured an eas account on the device either accidently or intentially, you will have to delete that account before you can sync contacts and calendar to your pc.
Once you have configured versamail to sync any email account you have to have atleast one set up so you will need to set up a new email account either fake or real before you can delete the eas account.

Palm z22 will not sync with windows vista

I have been following the forums and this seems to be consistent issue and no one seems to be able to give a straight answer as to what to do. I like to consider myself a biut of a techie, but this blows my mind. My computer recognized my z22 twice and synced twice, but ever since it synced with it the second time and i installed my belkin wireless key board it stopped working. I don't know why but my computer will no longer recognize the device, i've tried everything i've seen discussed i've installed different versions of palm desktop i've tried restarting my palm in everyway possible, there is no way on earth i am going to reload vista or wipe my hard drive or any crap like that i've got to much stuff and i don't have the disks for it anymore anyway. so what am i supposed to do. i'm trying to keep cool but this is sort of something i'm counting on working to help me keep organized while i go through college, and i think it's understandable that i would be a little frustrated.

Check out either MusicTones or MiniTones, both free programs that work similarly. Available from freewarepalm.com.
They will scan your SD card for songs, then let you edit out a slice right on your Centro. You choose the Start and Stop locations of the "slice". When satisfied, click the "Add" button, and it will appear in your list of Ringtones.

ITunes latest version will not launch in Windows 7

iTunes will not lauch regardless of what I do. I have tried re-installing with no luck. I have tried holding down ctrl-shift keys when attempting to launch, that didn't work either. I just get a window that Apple wants to make changes to my computer and I respond yes, but still nothing happens. When I try to launch iTunes nothing happens, no error message or anything. I am at a loss as to what to try next. Please someone HELP!

Now nothing happens when launching iTunes. No messages appear.
Could you check something further for me, please? Is your QuickTime Player also currently failing to launch (with or without an error message)?

Not sure about Windows 8, but I can't get it to install on Windows 7 either. Well, that isn't true, it will install, it just won't ever run. When I start the application, it immediately goes into the unexpected error, Explorer is looking for a solution, then promptly shuts down.

Dreamweaver 8 will not launch with Windows 8.1

I cannot get Dreamweaver 8 to launch with Windows 8.1 I have searched thru foums and attempted multiple deletes and reloads and restarts etc. I have attempted Admin run without sucess. It is my gut feeing that Adobe want s me to buy a new version.
Any suggestions
Thanks
David

Hi David.toto,
The versions supported by Adobe are listed at Adobe - Support Plans : Policies : Supported Product Versions.
Dreamweaver 8 was released many years back and both the software and the Windows OS have come a long way since then. While it is possible that there is a workaround solution to make DW 8 run on your computer, Adobe has not tested DW 8 to run on this OS. It is not the answer you were hoping for, I know, but that's the best answer I have for you. A better answer can come only from a user that is running DW 8 on WIndows 8.1.
Thanks,
Preran

If I click "no" on the restart dialog box, it brings up the "my computer" dialog box. On numerous occasions I have restarted and still nothing. I did not have any of these issues prior to downloading itunes 8. Can anyone help?

Presumably the configuration fails to complete, so every time you start iTunes it has another go.
As iTunes works normally when you plug in your iPod, you should be able to work round this by creating a new iTunes short cut.
Go to Program Files\iTunes and right click on iTunes.exe. Select: Send to>>Desktop(create shortcut). If you are lucky you will be able to open iTunes using this short cut.
However this work around does not fix the underlying problem that WIndows fails to complete configuring iTunes.

icloud will launch in a new Windows account, but not in my orignal user account.

Hi terrishearer,
You can either press the 'Windows' Key on the keyboard or just hover the mouse to the righthand side corner of the screen and you will see the start button.
Just click on the start button go to applications and then click on the Icon of that product.
