Hello, it seems my palm Tungsten E2 is not compatible with Windows 7 (hotsync). Anything I can do or is there another PDA that will work? Thanks, I do need the PDA.

Here is the link to the hp forum that contains a link for the win 7 and 8 drivers. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Palm-OS-WinMo-Hardware-and-Software/64-Bit-Windows7-8-8-1-USB-drivers-for-Palm-Desktop/td-p/2159769

Original disc is probably not compatable with Win 7. Check out
Palm Support Palm Tungsten E2 Palm Desktop 6 2 and HotSync Manager... for newer software that MIGHT work.

Hello.

Palm backups are located in the following directory: C:\Program Files\Palm\username>\ED\Backup\

When you HotSync a PDA that has undergone a hard reset, HotSync will compare the two devices. When it sees that the PDA is empty, it will attempt to reload any backup that exists on the PC. Once this data is reloaded, the PDA will ask to do a soft reset. This is simply a restart of the device and doesn't affect any of the newly installed data. This returns the PDA to working order, with all the data and programs functioning as they were before.

Hope this resolves your problem.

Try a different USB port.

Older palm products and vista aren't compatible. You either needs to transfer info via bluetooth or upgrade your palm if you wish to continue using vista.

Here is the link for the Palm Desktop manager and Hotsync software for Windows. There is a link on the page for Mac if needed.

Hello,
You need to download palm desktop and hotsync manager from the palm website. Totally free. Found at.

Also, if you have a new Tungsten E2 and there is no important data, I would hard reset it and then when you sync it, select the old profile of the previous Palm to see if that works.

The new Palm you have, is it a Tungsten E2 as well?

The profiles don't always carry over between different models.
