Re:
Are you trying to use two different PDAs with the same PalmDesktop? That will be a problem. I switched from Palm to Clie and back to Palm, and their drivers are NOT compatible - even though they are basically the same software. Stupid, I know.
At least now I can have two different Palm Desktops - one for my Clie and one for my T3. It's working for me right now. I would make backup files of everything before you load the new Desktop. You could lose all your data/programs if you don't. I learned that the first time.

Though Palm PDAs are considered "legacy" by their new "supporters", HP, there is a download site for your Tungsten. Note that while HP seems to have forgotten that there was an "E", and only mention the E2, the Palm Support Palm Tungsten E2 Palm Desktop 4 1 4 and HotSync Manager... download should work... providing you are using the right OS on your computer. XP is listed in your owners manual, Vista usually works, Win7 is really dicey unless you bought one of the reconditioned/customized Tungstens that have become available over the internet lately, and win 8 might really become a deal-breaker. Good luck!
First install the Palm Desktop CD that came with the CLIE. Go
to "Start"> All Programs> Sony Handheld
1. Right click
"HotSync Manager" and click "Properties" click Compatibility tab and and check
"Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
2. Then HotSync your CLIE it should work.
If it doesn't work:
1. While
installing software from the CD open the CD and Right-click setup.exe and check XP Compatibility, and while installing, if a pop-up appears for drivers, just Click
Use Old Drivers anyway.
2. In "Start"> All Programs>
Sony Handheld Rightclick all the shortcuts like "Palm desktop for Clie", "Install
tool", "Hotsync manager" and set it to run in XP compatibility mode.
I have a peg-615c, and I just downloaded the new palm desktop, and installed it AFTER I had switched the compatability mode to xp, and selected open as an admin on the normal screen, and under all users... I works great now! OH, it's a free program :) http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/37014_en.html
On your main screen touch the menu icon (bottom right in your graffiti box). This will open your drop down menu. Touch "delete" and a list of programs, etc will appear. Select one at a time and then press delete. Hope this helps
you shouldnt need a device driver for your pda to work along side with Vista, as Vista has it's own Windows mobile device centre which should run as soon as you connect your pda to a usb port.
If it doesnt run, then open up windows mobile device centre in programmes and check the mobile device settings as to whether usb is set to connect to the centre.
