Palm Problems

Using the latest Palm Desktop software (says its Vista capable), a Palm syncs
ok under Vista. Where the problem occur's is when you try to upload a file
to the Palm such as an ebook. It won't work. My workaround is to directly
install the ebook on the Palm's flash card using a card reader. But it would
be nice if the correct functionality worked. Don't know if this is Palm's
problem or Vista's problem but just thought I'd post to see if others have
experienced this.

Hi Jim. I've got the same issue with my old 515. Palm Desktop works, but not
installs etc via hotsync. Here's a link to the Palm Knowledgebase article.

Hope this helps. Cheers, Peter.
