BTW, I went and spent the $25 on a irDA wireless bridge, and my Palm T3 will still not sync through it! I keep getting an error message stating that the com port is in use by another application, yet the irDA device diagnostics say everything is A-OK. And Palm wonders why they've lost so much market share...

Finally got everything hotsynced by installing VMWare with USB support. Seems the only way to get anything done is just to (at least figuratively) bite the bullet and install 32 bit OS. To my knowledge, there are no free virtualization programs that have USB support except for Virtual PC for Windows 7. Good luck! What a pain.

Perhaps, it will help others. I create a "virtual computer" that run the 32-bit edition Windows XP ("guest") and has a USB port. This virtual computer runs within an actual computer that operates either a 64-bit edition of Windows XP or Vista ("host"). The host and guest run simultaneously. I install the PalmOS desktop and connect the device to the USB port. Thereafter, I synchronize and view my calender and appointments from the 32-bit system that resides in the 64-bit operating system. For more information about virtualization software, go to VMware website and find the Workstation 6 software. You can try a 30-evaluation copy. You will also need a copy of Windows XP (32-bit edition) to install on your 64 bit edition of the OS. Both will cost you $$$$. But it is a perfect solution. Furthermore, this solution will fix any incompatiability you acquired when you switched from 32- to 64-bit operating system. I recently discovered a perfect solution for me.

I used "Run" msiexec /regserver, then went into system tools, found Windows Installer and started it. Palm Desktop 4.1.4E installed just fine, however, it won't hot sync w/the Treo 650 cradle/usb cable. I sync it on my old computer, then transfer the data file and it works, but what a nuisance. Any updates on hot sync solutions for XP-64?? Thank you, Ray RKipping@aol.com Ok – here’s an update – XP64.
