I just upgraded my laptop (Pavilion DV2125 nr) with a USB cradle with Windows Vista Home Edition and my Sony Clie PEG-T615C Hotsync doesn't work any more. I did uninstalled and installed again and still doesn't work. I Installed Windows Mobile and I checked USB and still doesn't work. Please, I would like some advise or guidance how I can address and resolve this problem.
Thank you the time you will take in answering my question.

If you guy dont mind can someone send me a link or you port copy of the clies software my computer crashe about 3 months ago and i can get the software
There is actually an easy solution. Run the program in XP compatibility mode. First install the palm desktop cd that came with 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.
Other Issues if it doesn't work:
1. While installing software from cd, open cd and rightclick 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
you can rightclick all the shortcuts like "Palm desktop for clie", "Install tool", "Hotsync manager" and set it to run in xp compatibility mode.
Voila... it works and its easy and don't throw away your CLIE yet.
I must maintain my older XP system just to maintain my pda. Awkward, for sure. I have not contacted Sony yet.
I once discarded a very nice, functioning rinter by Canon because there was no driver for XP.
Ouch!

I have the same problem. I emailed Sony and they responded back by saying that currently their is no solution to the problem and they don't know if there will be one. It looks like they are forcing us into up grading our equipment.
I have to maintain my old XP system just to update my pda's data files on Vista Home Premium. No new driver? Ouch! That hurts.
I once had to discard a perfectly good and functioning Canon printer because of a similar driver issue. Crazy.
Sony Clie PEG-T615 doesn't work with my Windows Vista. I have tried to hotsync with no luck.
Same problem here. Is there some kind of "compatibility mode" solution? This is driving me nuts.
I just bought new computer with Vista-my old one with XP is done, and now i can't use my Clie. I cannot get the software to work with Vista. Contacted Sony and was told they don't have a solution and to look on the internet, how frustrating!
I NEED DRIVER FOR WINDOW VISTA. HELPPPPPPPP!
