RE: Could not install this software
It deletes the File Transfer program that's installed automatically with the original Palm Desktop from the CD.
I tried every way to install the updated Palm Desktop - on top of the old, after deleting the old... but the File Transfer program is deleted.
Even tried saving the executable in a different folder, and the pasting it back into the PalmOne folder - error message.
Wouldn't be surprised if this "update" deletes other stuff too.
Finally went back to the Palm Desktop version from my CD, because I need the File Transfer program.
RE: Could not install this software
I had to undo the install by overwriting with the original CD, as posted above.
And, the files it takes away as "incompatible" had been working fine for me...where would these have been moved from? (Looks like archive, not backup.) What is the difference between archive and backup, anyway? After a hard reset, where would the files be copied from?
Incidentally, anyone having trouble with the multi-connector? I find that it is very sensitive, and often when I plug it in or move it slightly the connection is lost, and my PC declares it is an unrecognized device...a slight nudge, and then it is OK...even the motion of pressing the button on the chord seems to create too much motion and often will disrupt the connection.
Did anyone notice the log is html now??

Could not install this software
After trying to install three times, I discovered that my existing Palm software had become balled up, to the extent that I could no longer hotsync or launch the desktop software.
Is this a known problem? Does it prove that Palm Inc. is broken?
