Palm Centro Desktop not working with new install

I just got a Palm Centro (AT&T) and installed the software. I already had Palm Desktop from my Treo 650. My information came over to my phone during Hotsync, but I can not use my desktop. When I start the program, it says there is a problem and windows is shutting it down. I am using Vista. Can you help?
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

Try re-installing the software and do a repair of the install. If that doesn't work then you will need to do a "clean" uninstall and then install Palm desktop again.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm

* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before create a hotsync name.

Palm ACCESS desktop for 6.2 error

Everytime I tried to open the month of April on my palm desktop - it would give me an error and shut it down. Now that we are in the month of April, I cannot even open palm ACCESS desktop - it immediately says it encountered an error and must shut down. I uninstalled and reinstalled Palm ACCESS desktop 6.2 and the program will open again, but if I try to click on the month of april, it does the error/shut down again - HELP!

Palm TX - Desktop DateBook Empty & Now it seems it will not sync with device.

Hello Palm Forum Members,
I have Windows 7 and I sync my Palm TX to DeskTop 6.2.2 via bluetooth. Two weeks ago I loaded my DeskTop DateBook and it was blank. I have made several attempts to sync my device to the desktop in hopes to recover my datebook\calendar and it seems that the synchronization stalls during the datebook\calendar updating. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the desktop software, I have also imported the datebook file....however it was also blank.
Any assistance given will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance :-)

There may be database corruption causing the issue. Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm
To install the program, set all conduits to "do nothing" except quick install or install if using Palm desktop 6.2.
After you install the program on the handheld, run the scan and also scan for Blobs in the calendar.
After you clean-up the database on the handheld, set the conduits in hotsync to handheld overwrites desktop and perform a hotsync.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a separate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb2/common/article/28734_en.html
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.hpwebos.com webpage.

Palm 130 - Desktop application won't open

Hi, I am new to the help forum. I have had a palm 130 for years and never had trouble until recently. My palm died, and I got a new one, actually a couple for different family members (from e-bay). Once the new ones were put on the computer, now the desktop application will not open. I can still hotsync etc... but the desktop will not open, get message: failed to open address book database, then you get the choice to send message or not, then all you can do is close down. Any help would be appricated.

Palm TX desktop colors

The opening Desktop screen colors are not close to my Windows color preferences. As I read the setup info - the Palm is copying the Windows setup. Once I go past the opening screen, the colors are very close to windows settings.
The initial colors are Black background, red lines [vertical], Green columns, and yellow when an item is clicked on.
Did I miss something in "setup"?
Thanks for your assistance, StretchG
Post relates to: Palm TX

I'm not quite sure what you're asking...Do you want different colors?
The "normal" colors of Access Desktop are light blue, but if you choose another Windows color scheme to change the whole computer, there is no telling what "normal" should look like!
(My colors on Access Desktop are definitely not black, red, and yellow!)
Unlike Palm Desktop 4.2, Access Desktop 6.2.2 does not give you the option of changing the Desktop color scheme.

Palm vx desktop on windows 7 32 bit

Hello,
I have installed PalmOne desktop ("PalmDesktopWin414EN (1).exe") on my laptop - windows 7 32-bit.
However, I can't create a new user ("couldn't add user.. illegal user name.. user directory couldn't be created") and unable to synch it.
How can I solve the problem ?
Thanks
Post relates to: Palm Vx

Hello dallaireluc and welcome to the Palm forums.
The problem that you are running up against is that there is no 64-bit serial or USB driver. You were able to sync with Vista because you were using a 32-bit operating system.
You will have to export your data from Palm Desktop to a comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that data into another application.

Palm m505 desktop installation.

I am currently using a Palm m100 with the Palm desktop 4.1 on a win98se computer. I just got a used m505 with all the original software disks. How can I install all the ancillary programs that come with m505 (eg: Avant Go, Documents to go etc), yet retain all the synced info on both my 4.1 desktop + my m100. The updates (backlight, copy, Daylight Savings Time, file manager), I see install with a hot sync. Must I install the 4.0 that came with the m505 over the current 4.1 to install all the ancillary programs, very confusing to a non-techie like me. When I went to the Palm support page for the m505, they also suggest installing the current desktop 4.1.4., is that advisable?.Whatever way, I want to ensure that I retain all the content I am currently using on my 4.1 desktop + my m100, so that I can continue using it after setting up the m505. Because my tech savvy is not that great please supply a point by point respose that is easy to follow. Much thanks, Ken.
Post relates to: Palm m505

Now we're talking a whole new ballgame... You'll need to follow Palm's "Guide to Upgrading to a new device" in order for the information to flow from the m100 to the m505!
How to Upgrade from a Previous Palm device to a Newer One: http://kb.palm.com/ and enter 12926 (General Upgrade guide) or 45175 (Upgrade to Centro) into the "solution ID:" box (lower right).
The critical step is to rename the /Backup folder in your Palm directory on your computer to something else (like BackupOLD) before doing a Hotsync to the m505.
This will ensure no m100-specific system files migrate to the m505. All PIM data should install on the m505, but no third-party programs. You can try to install any or all of these later one by one.
You'll need to Hard Reset the m505 to clear it out (if it isn't in this state already). That way, when you Hotsync the blank device to Palm Desktop, you'll be asked the question "Create a New Account, or Use an Existing One?" when you HotSync. Choose your old m100 username, and all the data should flow to the m505.
To perform a Hard Reset: (Palm Knowledgebase article #887)
While pressing and holding the Power button down, tap and release the Reset button in back and continue to hold the Power button down. When the grey Palm logo appears, you can release the Power button.
You should now see the warning page in about 5 languages. Press the UP direction on the 5-way pad to complete the task. Your Palm will reset itself several times as it re-installs the original programs and erases all your previous data.

Device dead, need to restore backup files from Palm 515 desktop software to Centro desktop software. Can it be done??

Ok, here's the story: My palm515 died about a year ago and since then I've been operating exclusively from my desktop software, until I recently bought a Palm Centro. Instructions said to hotsync to device, install new Centro Software, then hotsync back from device onto the desktop program. Problem is, I don't have a device to hotsync to because it's dead! I have backups of desktop, so I tried installing Centro Software per instructions. Centro Software said that it couldn't overwrite the old program, that I would manually have to uninstall it. Ok. But when I tried to go back into my old desktop software, it wouldn't even execute, like the Centro software had already begun to delete it. So I reinstalled the old 515 software thinking I wanted to at least do another triple-dog-check backup to two different locations, maybe even print stuff out in case it woudn't restore to the new software. Worst case scenario I have to type everything back in but at least I still have it. But now i can't figure out how to restore backup files to the 515 software! It keeps looking for .ada files but the backup files are .bak and it won't recognize them. How the heck do you restore a backup on this thing! OR, can I just install the new Centro software and restore the files from there.
Somebody PLEASE tell me how this can be done. My entire life, my business, all my clients, my appointments, my phone numbers, addresses, my records for my taxes, EVERYTHING is in there!
thanks,
meg

Assuming you are not running Vista, and that you have copied the User folder with the .dat and .bak files to a safe location outside the Palm folder, completely uninstall the Access Desktop that came with your Centro and download and install 4.1.4e from Palm's download page.
If you can get the m515 data in there by copying the User folder or Importing Data and sync the Centro you should be fine. Once it all appears where it should (Desktop and Centro) you can delete the User folder copy you copied for the process.

Palm m505 Desktop onto Windows 7 Home Edition

Hi,
I desperately need help. I have a couple of Palm m505 with lots of contacts. I have upgraded to a new PC with Windows 7 Home Edition.
I have tried downloading both Palm 6.2 and Palm 4.1.0 onto my new PC but keep getting error messages when I try to install either of these.
Could some kind soul out there who knows how to solve this problem, help me with step-by-step instructions as I am fairly new to all this.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

I was running firefox beta 9,selected about firefox, which then updated to 10, and when opening 10, began to update to version 11. now the desktop icon is beta 9, start menu beta 10, and version 11 is installed. how do i correct this problem?

after updating from beta 9, to 10, to11, my desktop icon still says beta 9. The start menue has beta 10, and will not allow me to select open file location, which when accessing through programs(x86) is listed as beta 9. When checking uninstall programs, beta 11, is listed.
how do i remove references to beta 9 and 10?

Mr. Willener,
Thank you for your reply.
I did un-install and then re-install per the Adobe recommendations which are what you listed in your reply. The problem remained until I did a MS Windows restore to a restore point a month or so ago. The IE problems vanished. However, now I'm using an outdated and unsupported version that is lower than most of the web pages require for their sites, at least the ones I want to view (they all say I need to upgrade my Flash Player which, when I did, put me in this fix).

I recently switched over to Windows 7. All my data was backed up but I am having trouble locating my contacts saved. Support told me to go to the Palm folder, open the 6 letter user folder folder, open addresses, and the information would be there. The only problem is that I don't know what program to use in order to retrieve the information. For $24.99 they can help me....what happened to customer service? Can anyone help me retrieve my contacts?

PROBLEM DOWNLOADING PALM M500 DESKTOP ON MAC

When I tried to download the M500 Desktop Application on my Mac 10.6.6 I got the following message:
"You can't open the application Palm Desktop because the Classic environment is no longer supported." I have been using a Palm Tungsten E without any problem installing and hot syncing. What is wrong? Also I thought I was making a move up with the PalmM500. Was I mistaken?
Post relates to: Palm m500

All PalmOS devices have been discontinued for some time now...
After the E, Palm came out with the E2 and the TX. I have two of the TX's myself. They were faster and had wifi in them.
If you're happy with your E, there are many places online who can install a new battery. Try usedpdaparts.com or directfix.com.

Please tell me where to find the backup.

Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

If it is on your computer it is in the cdrive. Start/My Computer/Local Disc (C/Program Files/Palm/ and open the folder with your hotsync name and it should be in there. I hope you can find it in there. Your device has the proper operating system on it for a free app called NVBackup. If you were using this with automatic backups on it you would have this info and more on the memory card that is in your devise. NVBackup does a complete clone of everything on your devise and it is free. NVBackup download link
