Any way to get the cd for the sony PEG T615C to install on computer with vista OS?

Hello.

From FixYa Support:

Run the program in XP compatibility mode.

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.

Hope this helps.

I have a Sony Clie PEG-T665C that I've used for years, doing daily sync with the Clie desktop running under XP. When I bought a new laptop with Vista Home Basic, the Clie desktop manager will install just...

Hmmm.... vista has a thing called sync center, to sync data. try using it without the software, just plug-n- play.

My sony CLIE PEG-SJ20 is not compatible with Vista. Is there some mechanism I can install that will make it work with Vista?

I had the same problem with my clie peg-sj20 on my vista home basic based laptop. I could not hotsync after installing the original software. I've never tried to use my pda with this setup before so I was trying to find a way to make it work when I found this post, figured I would reply with what I found.
My Sony clie peg-sj20 runs the Palm o.s. 4.1 software and apparently Sony no longer supports this model. So after trying to hotsync and letting the Windows vista install wizard find the proper software, it suggested contacting the manufacturer of the operating system. I went to the Palm websight and downloaded the Palm o.s. 6.2 software which is compatible with vista, even though it doesn't say it supports the sj20. After installing it I performed a hotsync during setup when I was prompted to do so, and it totally worked. I'm not sure if this version works with other applications but it enabled me to hotsync running vista.
Hope this helps someone out there. Good luck.

Sony clie peg s360 hotsync issues

I have the same problem, but the original cdrom doesn´t resolve the problem, the only way is maybe run win XP because nobody want to fix a problem for an old hardware like this one.

Sony Clie PEG-N760C hot sync with Windows Vista

I had the same problems. I downloaded PalmDesktop Win62.exe update from Palm.com and it recognized my USB connection, did away with the port error and hotsynced immediately. I messed with that thing for 3 weeks before I finally tried the update. It says it's not for the peg-n760c, but it works! I don't think they want you to update, but rather buy a new pda. Good luck!

Sony Clie PEG-T615C Hotsync doesn't work with my Windows Vista Home Edition

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!

Installing this PDA on Windows Vista Home Premium laptop

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.
