Zire 71 onto Laptop with Vista

Hi there... I have a very old Zire 71.  All of the programs for it are on my desktop which has Windows XP.  I no longer can locate any of my diskettes that go with the device.  I want to load it onto my laptop which has Vista but I am having no luck.  I have to confess that I don't even know what kind of "connection" I have... I have a charger that is plugged into my laptop via USB, so maybe that answers that question? 
Either way, when I try to sync it it says the driver is not loaded or it is unplugged.... and I can not seem to find a way to download a driver for this...
Can anybody help me?
If it can not be done... is there any way to save my information in some kind of other format - excel maybe - so that I don't lose all the things I've saved over the years on my device...  I'm trying to get rid of my desktop but it's the only way I have right now to keep the info stored on my Zire.... I'm really desperate to find a way to somehow save this information...
Any help would be so greatly appreciated - you have no idea!
Thank you in advance...

   Please excuse me, but I have another question.
   I did the above things you directed, plus I downloaded the Outlook 2007 update.  When I did the HotSync from the cradle I got a message that the synch had been completed, but no info seems to have been exchanged between Outlook 2007 and my Palm Zire 71; in addition, there is no information in the Desktop at all.
   NOTE: during installation, I got a message asking me for a Profile name and then telling me I had to enter Profile Information from the Control Panel>Mail>Show Profiles area.  That area has "Backup to Default" highlighted, with "Default" shown as another option.  Below that, on the same page, it says "When starting Microsoft Office, use this profile:"    The option "Prompt for a profile to be used" is not selected, but "Always use this profile" is selected.  What does this mean?  Do I need to change something?

  • Trying to update iTunes on a laptop with Vista.

    A friend is trying to update iTunes on a laptop with Vista. She gets this: Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi.\78efb0.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory.
    I thought maybe it was an issue with Administrator privileges, but she's the only user on the computer. The file does not already exist in the root directory. (I was thinking of deleting it.) I googled it and got nothing. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    No problem.
    If there is Kaspersky on board, we should try some general-principles getting-past-security-software-interference troubleshooting.
    Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (32-bit installer file) or iTunes64Setup.exe to your Hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Any better luck with the security software shut down?

  • Is there a driver available for the hp laserjet 1160le to download for my laptop with vista os?

    I have an HP LaserJet 1160Le with wired connection to a Dell laptop with Vista OS.  The driver I have will not allow me to print more than one page at a time from most software programs I use including MS Word, Adobe Reader9, WordPerfect, and Photoshop Elements 9. 
    No driver update seems to be available on HP website.  Please advise. 

    According to this Apple article, a driver for your HP LJ 3800 is available from Apple. So what should happen is when you add the printer to the Mac, the supporting driver should be downloaded from Apple and installed.
    Is the printer being connected to the Mac via USB cable or is it networked?

  • Crossing HP Pavilion laptop with Vista to Toshiba NB205-N210 with XP? Usefulness of Bluetooth.

    Is there a conflict in crossing over files from HP Pavilion laptop with Vista to Toshiba NB205-N210 with XP? Is Bluetooth necessary (or useful) on a Toshiba? I have Bluetooth on my Hp Pavilion.

    A crossover network cable is one that is designed to connect two computers to each other through the LAN port without using a router.  It sounds like you don't have any sort of home network to work from or have any experience in networking.  Instead of wasting a lot of time posting methods that you might not be able to use why don't you start by telling us what networking methods you have available, if any. 
    Also, do you have an external USB hard drive?  That might be easier to use for this. 
    Lastly, how much data are we talking about?  That would have a large bearing on how we should go about this.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Airport express interference when my other new dell laptop with Vista

    Hi,
    My macbook was working great with airport express. Once I bought the new dell laptop with Vista it stopped connecting to airport whenever the Dell is on. Once I switch the Dell off, my macbook immediately connects with airport. The Dell never has any prob trying to connect. I've tried to change the channel but it doesn't help as my Dell is unable to connect. My radio mode is 802.11n ( which is b/g compatible) as I can't use any other mode since my Dell won't pick up other mode. Please help .
    Thanks
    Pralav

    Thank you . I do have my Real player running. I turned it off and restarted and I still have interference from the dell laptop. My MB connect AE only when the dell is off. If start it my MB looses AE. The realy player doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Thanks

  • Apple photo stream exe has stopped working, on my laptop with vista

    I have been using icloud to upload pictures from my iphone to my laptop with Windows Vista for several months. Now on startup I get this message :  ApplePhotoStream.exe  has stopped working

    I saw that uninstalling  and then reinstalling the iCloud control panel on your computer corrects it.  I did this and it worked for a while but I'm getting it again.  Any ideas??  Thanks!

  • Installing desktop software on new laptop with Vista

    I had a laptop with XP and everything worked fine.  Got a new one with Vista and now the software will not install.  It did install properly (at least I thought) once, but then would not sync with the device.  I tried 4.2 and I tried 4.7, both from the Blackberry site.  I keep getting the error message "windows is shutting down the desktop software installation and will notify you of a solution".  This is after 20-45 minutes of downloading.  My device is a Verizon Curve.  Any thoughts?

    I installed it twice each time under program file as it wouldn't recognize the program file(x64) folder. I created an adobe folder under program file and installed there which when perfectly well including name, serial number until disc 3 of CS2 suite.
    Interestingly when I opened photoshop it showed the correct name and serial number but the error statement I first commented showed.
    Perhaps I am just going to have to spring for CS4

  • I have a G60 laptop with Vista. How can I get download to install on new hard drive? FT468UA

    Hard drive is in Chinese I want to change it to English. Or reinstall Vista on a nother hard drive.

    Sorry, there is no download of Vista install. You have to make a Recovery Disc set to reinstall Vista. However your copy is licensed for Chinese (I assume) so that is what you will get with a reinstall.

  • ICloud on laptop with Vista

    Hopefully, there is an answer to my dilema and a simple one since I am technologically short.  Our laptop has Windows Vista for an operating system and it appears that you must have Windows 7 or 8 for iCloud.   Is there anyway around this?   Managing e-mail is a pain.   Any help would be appreciated and I'm hoping for a way to do it.   I have an iPhone 5c and my husband took my old iPhone 4.   Remember, please keep it simple if possible      Thanks.

  • HP Photosmart C4795 USB to Acer laptop with Vista turns itself on every hour.

    HELP - during the last week my printer (HP Photosmart C4795 All-in-one has been starting up and sounds as if it printing something, but never takes paper in and then goes back to sleep.  Right before this happens, my computer makes a device connected and device disconnected sounds.  I have not downloaded any programs in the last month, nor have I made any changes to my printer.  It is very annoying when I am running a program and all of a sudded it ties my computer up to "do it's thing".  Help???????
    Oh - I guess I'm supposed to give my computer savvy status.  I'm not a beginner, but not an expert.  I can usually follow directions really well but do not know how to trouble shoot things on my own.
    Thanks in advance,
    Micki

    Hi there mickirom,
    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are we using? In the mean time try moving the USB to a different port to see if the problem persists.

  • Can a A945US laptop with Vista have a solid state drive installed?

    It doesn't appear many questions get answers around here... I can forsee driver problems...

    Hi:
    Many times questions don't get answers because people just don't know. No one is deliberately ignoring you.
    There are hundreds of HP notebooks out there, and unless someone has actually installed (or attempted to install) a SSD in that particular model, all we can do is speculate.
    I will offer you my opinion. That is all I can do, since I do not own your model notebook and I have never installed a SSD in any notebook or desktop PC.
    Let's start with the manual...
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01295803.pdf
    Chapter 3, page 21 lists the supported drives for your notebook series.  No SSD's are listed as optional drives.
    Let's take a look at your PC's architecture...
    Your notebook either has the GM965 or the GL960 chipset. I can't say for sure since I am not quite sure if the T2390 works with just the GM965 or the GL960 or both.
    You can run the Intel chipset ID utility to find out what chipset you have.
    http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-009266.htm
    If you have the GM965 chipset, theoretically, it should.
    You can see if your notebook is listed in this Crucial site as supported for an SSD
    http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/ssd.aspx
    And according to the site, a SSD is supported.
    http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.aspx?model=Presario%20a900%20Series&Cat=SSD
    I just happened upon the Crucial UK site. I'm sure the crucial US site has the same search engine.
    Hope this helps,
    Paul
