Has this ever been resolved? It looks like it's 5 months old and I don't see any replies. I saw this and immediately thought of the DEP(Data Execution Protection) feature that is a characteristic of Windows Vista. If you go to your control panel,to system, to advanced system settings, and then click the settings button in the performance section, the DEP is the third thumnail to the right(should be the last one there). This is where you can turn it on or off and add programs for it to ignore.
However, usually when it's the DEP that kills a program unexpectedly, the operating system has usually made it known to the user that it was the DEP.

My desktop won't start

I have a treo 680 unlocked and installed missing synch software on my new macbook pro leopard. I started using the sync function and was getting used to the weird looking (compared to desktop on windows) desktop presentation when I noticed that I wass getting all kinds of duplication and even triplication on my syncs. I ttied to solve that problem with help from missing sync but to no avail. I decide to try and start over.
So I uninstalled missing sync andI went back to my PC and cleaned up my handheld with my PC desktop. I couldn't uninstall desktop for mac so I reinstalled missing sync and did a hot sync. I then noticed I would have the same problem as i got a notice from missing sync that I had more than 5% sync to do. I wondered how that could be because this was supposed to be a new sync with no info on my desk top. I stopped the hot sync function and tried to see what was going on by opening my desktop. I tried it several times. I tried downloading mac desktop again and re-installing it. That didn't work, I kept getting the message that I had the most recent version on my mac and that I couldn't re-install.
So that brings me to my original subject statement.
My desktop won't start so that I can clean everything ou and do a start over sync. Please someone help!!!

Installed IE 8 on my vista home laptop and now my palm desktop won't open .

The desktop that came with my palm Centro worked fine for a year. I installed IE8, now when I try to open the Palm desktop it won't open. I can still hotsync via USB. Windwoes says there is a problem and it can't open but will look to see if there is a solution. Windwoes doesn't find one. I tried to go back to a previous restore point, still nothing. I don't have bluetooth on my computer so new 6.2 desktop is not an option. Help Please

Hello geocostello and thanks for posting on the forums....
You can re-install the 4.2 desktop that came with your centro via the CD. (if you still have it...) If not, you can go to the palm.com and do a search for Desktop Manager 4.2 and download it, then install it. This should not affect your data. Before doing this, try going into the Add/Remove Programs and un-installing the desktop manager from there. Then re-install the software. Again, This should not affect your data.
If the software does not un-install from Add/remove Programs, you can go to microsoft and download the Microsoft Un-install Utility. This should remove the software and registry entries and allow you to re-install the Desktop manager 4.2
Let us know what happens....
Thanks,
Cola

Palm not syncing + Palm Desktop won't open (error message says FILE IS BUSY)

Drama players = Tungsten e2+Mac OS X 10.5.4
Tungsten e2+Mac OS X 10.4.1
Hi,
I've been trying to hotsync my palm to Mac laptop for a few hours everyday for 5 days now - I've visited all the forums, bought a new laptop (this was incidental rather than caused by the palm problem)
...At first I got the "transport monitor" missing error - I followed support forums' suggestions. It didn't work. Hotsync would not happen; and neither would palm desktop open. i don't use any other programs to sync (not isync, not outlook, etc) Only ever use Palm for like 10 years now.
This problem persisted in both my 3-yr old mac and the brand new mac-
I also tried installing pam desktop from the online palm support site.
I've since re-installed palm desktop a few times and handheld says "hotsync operation complete" However, Palm Desktop will not open and I get this error -- "file is busy"
Please please help - I've recently decided to allow my palm to rule my life again (we do international events and we're bringing in Australia's #1dj in a few weeks) --I'm desperate for a solution -
Thank you!!

PALM TX WON'T START.

Hello All.
After my last HotSync my Palm TX appears to have lost all of its information and now continually tires to start up but with no success. It powers up and then shuts off only to start the process over again.
I have tried resetting both soft and hard with no success. I also had the battery checked by a technician and it is up to scratch.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Ok, If you did not get the erase all data message for the hard reset, then you are not doing the hard reset properly. Look at the link regarding reset procedures and follow the procedure for the hard reset. This should get the device back to factory condition and stop any looping. The hard reset will erase all data from the TX. Do you have a backup of your data?
Are you sync'ing with a username that was associated with a different Palm device?
It sounds like you are sync'ing over something that is not compatible to the TX from the backup folder on your PC. The backup folder contains the settings and 3rd party apps. from any other model of Palm device. These settings can cause looping or inconsistent operation due to the differences in the devices.
Looks like you may need to hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.
Show file extensions for XP or Vista
XP
If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Vista
Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.

Centro to palm desktop -- won't sync calendar, freezes up

My subject line pretty much says it all. Been syncing just fine until today the calendar won't sync. Initially it wouldn't sync and the log said my calendar or my computer was full, so it wouldn't sync. Now, it just freezes up on trying to sync date book & calendar. Using desktop 6.2.2. Everything else syncs ok if I set the calendar to "do nothing". the desktop search for errors returns no corrupted files. Can't see anything blatantly wrong with the calendar on my centro. Earlier today, a group of appts disappeared from the phone (before I attempted to sync and failed). After failed sync, those entries were back, all in duplicate. I went back and deleted the duplicates (leaving just 1 entry for each) on the phone, but it still won't sync. There are no duplicates on desktop, that I can tell.
So, now what do I do????

I had this same issue. I spent about 2 hrs on phone today with palm support. Here is the upshot: there were corrupted records(calender events) on the centro that I had to find and delete. For exampe I would have an event 4-5 years ago that would just have "uuu1" or some similar nonsense. What Palm had me do was go to a third party website and download a trial version of an application called dbfixit. www.pimlicosoftware.com. the software would detect the problem but the free trial version would not fix it so I had to go to each corrupted event and delete it myself. I do not think my support person realized that the freeware version cld not autofix the problem. So there was a little confusion there.. but eventually I got everything fixed and hotsynched (relief) I hope this helps you,
John

My Lenovo 3000 J Desktop Won't Start.

My computer is a lenovo and last night our power went out. After struggling with it for while i got it to work. My computer just crashed again and I did the same thing i tried last night and it didn't work. Please Help.
It is a desktop.
The computer is off and won't come back on.

hi Braddburm,
Welcome to the Forums.
It looks like the onboard VGA port gave out. Try to:
1. Use a discrete graphics card to output your video (i.e. pci or low profile pci-e graphics card)
2. If option 1 is not possible and you're considering a replacement machine, you will need a 3.5 HDD sata enclosure to convert the internal HDD to an external HDD to read the data on the new replacement machine.
Best regards,
neokenchi

My Mac Pro Desktop won't start

I had been using Mac Pro Desktop since 2006, and it had been problemm free until today. Now, everytime I turn on the computer, and it would run for 20 seconds, and then it just stops. I need to hold the start buttom for a few second to turn it off.
I didn't install any new updates for months and also didn't connection new external device. Could you solve the problem for me?
Thanks
Edward

Thanks.... I brought my Mac Pro to Apple Store Genius Bar earlier today, and the tech told me that the graphic card isn't working. He suggests me either to buy a new card by myself (cheaper option) or to have them to fix it for me. Since my Mac Pro is older (bought in 2006 and I believe it is the first generation), I wondered which graphic card I should buy. I am using DVI connection for my Apple Cinema HD Display monitor
Thanks!

[Solved] plasma-desktop won't start by itself

Not sure what I did but when I try to log in to KDE 4.5, via KDM, slash screen does it's thing, and then I end up with a session that doesn't have plasma-desktop. I have to run plasma-desktop from krunner (Alt+F2) to start it. How do I get it to start on its own again?
EDIT: In trying to change KDE to use the raster graphics system I misspelled it. Dumb.

HP desktop won't start, red light flashing and beeping, loud fan

Yesterday it was working just fine. I turned it off for the night and when I tried to turn it on this morning, a red light was flashing and beeping as well as the fan making a loud humming noise. I've read the the beeping and flashing means something. I didn't keep track of the number of flashes and beeps though. After the beeping and flashing I turned the computer off then back on. This time there was no red light, flashing, or beeping. Nothing appeared on the monitor either. After about 10-20 seconds of it being on, the fan started to hum really loudly again.
It's an HP Compaq dc7900. I've only had it for about 3 months and it was fine up until now.
Any help? Thanks.

Hi
I'v checked the specs for your HP and Acer machines and yes it will be fine to cross over RAM modules they are identical in speed and architecture . Please don't forget the last post about removing the sources of power before you go inside the PC to check RAM . Other thing is if your HP has more than one RAM module remove only one stick first and try to boot . If it still won't boot with that module take that one out and try to boot from the other before you look to swap over modules from Acer machine . Don't forget to re connect your monitor to see if you get display with one / two etc modules . Post me back your findings

G5 desktop won't start. Fans don't run

I'm trying to fix a friend's G5 desktop, 1st generation. 1st LED comes on, 2nd LED comes on when I press start button. Power supply voltages are correct. Hard drive runs, but fans don't come on. I have power to fans. 5 and 12 volts. No beeps. Pressed SMU button as well, and nothing changes. Don't see any bulging caps. Someone else changed a few before I got it. Also jiggled RAM chips. Any ideas?? Thanks

You can try switching the RAM around and running with one stick or the other. Have you checked the Apple Hardware Test on your install disc to see if it finds anything?

I found this solution which worked for me: http://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/Lat … tallations
Edit the run.conf file in your CrashPlan app installation directory
Default location: /usr/local/crashplan/bin/
Navigate to the end of the GUI_JAVA_OPTS section
Add this line, inside the quotes:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
Example:
SRV_JAVA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dapp=CrashPlanService -DappBaseName=CrashPlan -Xms20m -Xmx512m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=300 -Dnetworkaddress.cache.ttl=300 -Dsun.net.inetaddr.negative.ttl=0 -Dnetworkaddress.cache.negative.ttl=0 -Dc42.native.md5.enabled=false"

BlackBerry Desktop won't start!

I have tried anything I can think of to open the desktop software and just get the same message, "BlackBerry Desktop Software has encountered a problem and needs to close." I can open device manager just fine, but not the desktop, even after I downloaded and installed the dotnetfx3.5, unzipped the 610._b034_multilanguage file and installed, and even tried to restart multiple times! Running Windows XP with Microsoft .Net 3.5, please HELP!!!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please review these pages:

and ensure you fully meet the minimum system requirements. For instance, you said you are running XP...but, unless that's SP3, then you would not meet the requirements.
Good luck!
