I just 'inherited' a tungsten e2 palm One. i just purchased the docking kit [charger, usb cable, and cradle]. i am basically a 'newbie' in the area of hand-helds. when i connect my palmOne to my desktop vai usb cable, my pc does find the new hardware, but cannot find the proper software. [i get the '?' and 'palm handheld' under 'other devices' in my device manager.] i have found a couple of sites offering software dowmloads, [but i would appreciate if you could recommend the best, free site], but i am not certain if i am restricted to the palm OS software, or if i can use pocket pc software with my palmOne. i intend to use it as an address book, wireless portable [if possible]], gps, and most of the functions that are already programed on it- although, i hope that
my desktop gives me complete access and control over adding, editing, and deleting items. thank you. -david
Mine after one or two Sync's states the device is not recognized, and to install the poper device, which has already been installed????? I don't know how it loses it, it just does!!!
If you said you have the software (desktop), your doing it backwards. Run the desktop software by going to my pc and running the disc. The software will then ask you to plug in your E2 so it can register it. It will then synch and your in business. Had E2 for a very long time. Can tell you things that guy can do that would surprize you. Have everything but unit now.

ok, well i did find the 'palm.com' site, and the driver download that is supposed to support the usb connection. i followed the instructions, with one slight variation, that is i used 'winrar' to extract the file instead of winzip, but i don't think that should be an issue. i am still unable to successfully syncronize my palm with my desktop, and i did follow the directions, which instruct me to copy the extracted folder to a locaton, connect the palm, and choose that location when windows detects the new device. i keep getting 'windows cannot install this device' error. there is a forum page in the palm site that addresses the compatibility issue between the tungsten e2 and windows xp professional, but palm assures the reader that it is compatible.
I have the same problem, i am only able to successfully syncronize my palm with my desktop after I uninstall and reinstall palm software, after first sync it will not sync again.
how do i connect to the internet with my tungsten e2
I have to reboot my computer in between each time I hotsync with the computer.
