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.

But they make a cheap $10 device that you can plug into a USB port (please tell me you have at least one available!) and will give you a serial port on the other end. That's what I used to perform my serial sync on a palm with no Wifi or bluetooth. (something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812156003) If you haven't any free USB ports, you'd do well to invest in a USB hub. ;) HTH - Garlic Raymond, my machine doesn’t have any serial ports..

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.

What to do?? I should never have let Microsoft talk me into XP64 - Palm isn't compatible w/Vista 64 either, and a Palm rep basically told me today the equivalent of 'tough noogies'. They have no patch for 64 bit, and don't plan to. My contract's up next month, I guess I'll kiss my Treo-650 and Palm goodbye. Blackberry, here I come :) 9

I'm using SP2 fwiw. The most recent downloads from Palm (located here: http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk414.html) installed just fine with no futzin. But of course, sync via USB failed horribly. Now my m515 doesn't have either wifi or bluetooth, so I'm pretty well assed out right? WRONG!! After digging around, I actually found a palm cable that has both USB AND RS232. Granted, RS232 is slightly slower than USB sync. But it's worth a shot right? So I installed the driver (took a while to find!) for the USB to Serial converter I had, installed palm desktop, rebooted, set up the hotsync app to use local serial and set the settings to "fast as possible". I touched the hotsync button on my palm's screen, and voila! Pure, unadulteraed hotsync action in XP x64 edition (sp2). The cable I used claims to be a Belkin M500 cable replacement, Belkin P/N F8P3101.

You should note, for the registry edits that I had to make all keys for the installer point to SysWOW64 in order to install Palm Desktop and related software. I guess I have to buy a bluetooth adaptor now to sync the files. Anybody have a reccomendation for a USB Bluetooth Adaptor Dongle that works with Windows XP Pro x64 (SP1)???
