Windows 7 - which version needed for Palm to work?

I think perhaps I understand the answers, but please tell me if I have this worked out correctly. I have a Palm M515, so no bluetooth or wifi.
1. I want a 32 bit system on one machine. I think I can simply install Windows 7 Home Premium, install Palm Desktop V4.1 and everything will work fine just as it does under Vista. I sync using USB or serial. Is that right?
2. I want a 64 bit system on another machine. I know Palm don't support 64 bit. However reading the Microsoft pages if I buy Windows 7 Pro it provides support for the Windows XP Virtual Machine. I assume the virtual machine can be 32 bit? So if I install that then I believe I can install the Palm software (I'm on V4.1) and also use USB to synchronise. Is that right? Has anyone tried it? Have Palm themselves tried it yet?
These seem to me crucial questions for many users as 64 bit system become common. Do Palm read these forums, I can find nothing about this on their website?

I have a fix that works fine for me. I bought a cheap PC that came with 64 bit home premium, and I am considering rolling it to 32 bit pro but until then, I have installed Vmware Player - a free app that will run in 64 bit Win 7.
I migrated my old Windows XP system to this platform, and have been very pleasantly surprised by how well USB works on it (I have a lot of VMware experience from server 1.x, server 2.x, ESX 3 and 4 - this is a real leap ahead.) I am able to sync to the Palm desktop in the virtual XP very nicely, and Mobipocket works there as well. Since no one is suggesting that XP mode from Windows is worth a try, I have to assume that the Windows virtualization platform is not as complete. This does not surprise me.
Now that I know the palm desktop may install in Win 7, I have a migration path for the data, but to be honest, so much of my day-to-day work requires that I have access to a working 32 bit install that I use the VM OS a lot of the time.
By the way, it may be harder to 64 bit drivers for Windows than you think. The key app for me is a Cisco IPSEC vpn client. I have seen a purported beta of the application for 64 bit systems but don't trust it.
Given how much $$$ a Cisco house spends on hardware and licenses, and how huge Cisco is, if Cisco can't pull its head out and deal with this, I can hardly blame Palm.

Conflicting info on which version needed for G4

First, thanks to all the frequent posters here. I'm very impressed by the knowledge in this forums. I've learned a lot, but still haven't found my solution.
I ordered a processor upgrade for the G4 (Sawtooth). The instructions say to first update the firmware to 4.2.8, if necessary. I'm supposed to check the current version by using Apple System Profiler after booting into OS9. I bought this 'puter used, with 10.2.8 installed, and no OS9 installed. I've never used OS9.
I did get a gray "PowerMac G4 Software Install SSW version 9.0" CD with the purchase. When I tried to boot from that, I get a welcome screen, and when the progress bar gets to about 15%, the process simply stops. (The CD drive has been replaced with a DVD RW, if that might matter.) Now, an Apple article (120068) regarding the firmware upgrade says to use 9.1. But, I just want to boot into 9 to check the current firmware version, not update it (yet). From what I've read here, I thought this machine should be bootable by 9.0. I even ran across an Apple table somewhere here stating the multiple versions of 9 that were permissible for this G4, including 9.0. (I almost suspect that the update has already been done by the previous owner, as he was a savvy user, and did A/V production with it. It's also been working under Tiger flawlessly.)
I also tried dragging a copy of the 9.0 system folder onto my secondary HD, which shows to have the OS9 drivers installed. This was bad news trying to boot this way. A message said it could only boot from the original media (the CD, no?), and it got locked into a loop. Got out by booting with Option pressed, thanks to a tip read here
So, is there another way to check the firmware rev without obtaining 9.1? I visited a site recommended in here for system CDs and found a retail 9.1 offered, but for $160 (yikes!). I really have no need to use 9 in the future, having no software for it, I just need to boot it to check the firmware rev.
Suggestions? Thanks for your time!!!

Hi, rotordude -
There is a way to check the firmware version (Boot ROM version) without having to trust the accuracy of the software in OSX or OS 9.
Boot the machine into Open Firmware - restart; immediately press the Command-Option-O-F keys, keep that combo held down. The machine will quickly boot into Open Firmware, which is coded on the logic board, not on any disk.
You will be presented with a text-based screen. On the second line will be this string -
Apple PowerMac3,1 #.#.#f# Boot ROM
The "PowerMacc3,1" portion will identify it as being a G4 (AGP), aka "Sawtooth", model.
The "#.#.#f# Boot ROM" will have numbers replacing the "#" character - this shows the current firmware version.
For example, on that line in Open Firmware my G4 (AGP) displays
Apple PowerMac3,1 4.1.8f5 Boot ROM
indicating the firmware version is 4.1.8, which I know to be correct - I have applied the 4.1.8 firmaware update (now no longer available), but not yet the 4.2.8 firmware update (I do not have OSX 10.2 or later on this machine).
To get out of Open firmware, enter exit at the prompt and press Return; or enter boot at the prompt and press Return; or use the force restart button on the front of the Mac (the small raised-face button under the power button, the left-hand one of the two small buttons).
It has been reported by some users that once the firmware on their machine was updated, it would no longer boot to the original OS (non-OSX) version that shipped with the machine. Based upon comments, though, this does not appear to be a universal result of updating firmware.
Take a close look at the "PowerMac G4 Software Install SSW version 9.0" CD that you got with the machine. What is the part number shown in small print on the right-hand side of the label? The diskl that came with my G4 (AGP) shows this info at that location -
SSW version 9.0.4
691-2657-A
- and the CD is titled in large print "PowerMac G4" with a sub-titled "Software Install".

My iPod is up to a 4.1 ios, and it won't update to a 5.1 which I need for some of my apps for school. It keeps saying that my internet connection is bad; but, it works just fine. What do I need to do?

If you get a network timeout error, then disabling the computer's security software duirng the download and update usually resovles that error.
If that is not the error what is the wording of the error message.
Note that only a 3G or 4G iPod can go to iOS 5. A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1

Jre 2.2 version compatable for Palm OS

Hi, I am using Palm os device. I would like to develop a application with SOAP and other facilities which is availabale on j2me 2.2 or 2.3 version but for Palm os there is only 1.0 version of J2me is available. Please tell me where from i get MIDP 2.2 or 2.3 for Palm OS .
Please send me mail on [email protected]

Is ther a player for any of the previous versions? i think
the only Palm-based device that had a player is the Sonly Clie. If
memory serves, it wasnt the OS itself, but the hardware power (or
lack thereof) on most Palm devices. Don't know where the FlashLite
player stands in relation to Palm devices though. You might want to
post on the mobile & devices forums or try to get in touch with
Bill Perry (www.flashdevices.net) at Adobe directly.
Good luck!

I am able to get color images in the continues shot but when i try to snap a color image which i need for my processing i get only a monocrome image

I have been using lv_vfw.llb VI's for grabbing images from a CREATIVE WEB CAM ,i am able to get color images in the continues shot but when i try to snap a color image which i need for my processing i get only a monocrome image ,i have been trying to play around with the RGB weightings but i am unable to get a color iamge,it shall be of great help if you could help me in doing this as it is urgent for me.Thanks for your help.

vicky,
I am unfamiliar with the lv_vfw.llb, and have not used it before. However, I noticed that you stated that you are able to grab in color, just not snap in color. If this is the case, why not just perform a grab and then extract a single buffer from this grabbed data, which would likely be in color? This seems like a possible solution to the issue that you are seeing.
Other than that, I really don't know enough about the lv_vfw.llb to be of much help on this issue. Hopefully another member of this forum will be able to assist you with this software.

Which version of windows 7 is needed for vmware fusion 5 - 32 or 64 bit

I just downloaded VMWare Fusion 5 and am in the process of getting Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store. Which version of windows is needed to run properly on my Mac - 32-bit or 64-bit? I believe it's the .iso application too, right?
Thanks!

Thanks again
32 or 64 makes little difference, and when you are not running Windows (Fusion) your Mac has all the power it had before you installed Windows.

Adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7. Need replacement that will work.

adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7. need a replacement that will work. any suggestions.

I would recommend Acrobat 10. You can find more details as well as a trial at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR. It should be noted though that Acrobat 5 is too old of a version to qualify for the upgrade price I am sorry.

Is personas plus needed for personas to work on firefox 9?

I recently upgraded from ff3.6.25 to ff9. I know alot of personas/extensions aren't compatible with the latest version of ff. But do i need to download the latest version of personas plus in order for certain personas i've loaded to work? I stuck with personas plus version 1.4 on my older ff3.6.25 instead of upgrading to the latest personas plus since my personas worked along with my "kempelton 3.2.1" theme and wouldn't work with the upgraded personas plus. The developer of kempelton isn't interested in making it compatible with the latest ff version. Someone else has developed a "kempelton reloaded 4.1.3" persona to work with the latest ff version which i have, but doesn't work with any personas i've chosen. THANX for your time/help anyone.

THANX for the reply Cor-el, unfortunately it doesn't work with the personas plus 1.6.2 extension being enabled. Someone on mozillazines forum posted this to my post about this problem: "Mozilla decided quite some time ago that Personas shouldn't work with Themes despite years of them working together just fine, and engineered Firefox 3.6 and 4.0 specifically to not allow them to work together. They promised us they would fix the situation and since then the main engineer working on Personas either left or has been too busy to contribute and fix the mess." I posted a 2nd reply to Tomatoweb above & will try what someone else on mozillazines forum said to try on their site using an alternate method. I hope it works.

When i open firefox after restarting the pc i get a 2nd popup window, which I need to close manually. Why??

When starting my pc up and opening firefox for the first time, I always get a second window. which despite no menu or header behaves like a second instance of firefox. (not a tab). I have done searches, got add blockers on and removed all malware from my pc using kaspersky latest edition and databases.
HELP! I don't know where to go next.....

What is on this second window?
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Which version lightroom for non-intel mac 10.5.8

Which Version of Lightroom works best with a (non-Intel) Mac 10.5.8? Thank You.

There is none that Adobe will sell you. They only supply the most recent version: LR 5, which requires 10.7.5, I think. Sometimes you can get the previous version, i.e. LR 4, on Amazon but sometimes those are just scams, too, so you want to make sure you’re buying from Amazon, themselves, not an Amazon-Marketplace vendor.
To your specific question about what version is compatible with 10.5.8, if you go to the Adobe page for LR Mac updates:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113 <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=113&platform=Macintosh> &platform=Macintosh
and click down into the past versions, it appears that LR 3.6 from 12/12/2011, will run on OSX 10.5 but LR 4.x will not, so I don’t think you’ll have much luck with such an old OS.
