New palm Z 22 will not install on vista?

behoney56:

The information support page for the Palm Z22 has moved around over the past few years. It is now at

http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb/na/zire/z22/unlocked/home/page_en.html

As well, I have an entire web page devoted just to maintaining, repairing, and using the Palm Z22, at:

http://kidbots.com/WEBADD/Z22_PALM_PILOT/Z22_PALM_PILOT.htm

As the Palm Z22 ages, there are issues with old and dying batteries, with the touch screen deforming and becoming useless, and various DATA connectivity issues, since the new Windows 64 BIT Operating Systems did not yet exist when the Z22 was diss-continued.

On my web page are links and USER information on the various solutions that they found, as well as a bit of information that I discovered, which is hitherto unknown!

Hope these tid-bits of help get your Palm Z22 up and running properly...

good luck

windows 7 is new and not compatible with many software so you may not get to sync your palm Z22 by using windows 7. You need a model that is compatible with windows 7.

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.

Try pulling down and installing a new driver that is Vista compatible. Be sure to scan the download before installation to make sure it's virus free.

Hope this helps!

You're saying you trying to install an appointment on your PDA. Has evrything worked before?

Go to Palm.com and Download the new Palm desktop from there. Compared to the old one on the CD, you will be better off. If you wish to intall the other software, do an explore on the CD and find the Essential Software and Post Install folders. You can install your other programs from there...

Do you just need to re-install your Palm Desktop software?

And if you are running Windows Vista, then just click on this link

Hope this helps,

You need to sync your Palm Z22 with the Palm Desktop Manager (MAC version). You can find it here on the palm website. http://www.palm.com/us/software/desktop/mac.html There are instructions on how to connect and sync when you install the software. Make sure you install the software first before connecting your Palm.

I was having a similar problem with my M515.  I had originally installed the Palm Desktop from my CD, which was an older version.  When I totally uninstalled the old version and installed the newer version from the Palm website I was able to do a successful sync.  I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate and Palm Desktop version 4.1.4

I suggest you create a dual boot situation with your computer, so it will run either XP or Vista. Most computer books will tell you how to set this up (not difficult). As for the software installation CD--check Ebay. People sell them often, whether originals or copies.
