m100 and vista help

[Levesque]

K guys I jsut got a palm100 came with cradle and a serial to USB.

- I plug my usb in and computers says download drivers... some Im assuming it recognizes the serial-to-USB.

- Im running Vista 32 bit

- I have the newest Palm Desktop with the program you need to hotsync old palms with it.

I cant get it to sync :S any help would be nice.

under local all I can choose is Direct Serial and IR. no option for USB not sure if that matters.

I have the Palm Coonnect USB kit ... doesn't say compatible with Vista on the box.. since its an old serial to USB does that matter? When I plug it in my computer it beeps so it is recognizing something.

Thank you for the help.

also tried via COM in back of the computer and nothing.

Remember when installing the Palm Desktop application (on Vista or Win 7) to Right Click on the Install File and select "Run as Administrator." If you do not the application will have trouble "Syncing" your Handheld to your PC. You may also need to select, in the HotSync options, for the Source to be Serial instead of the USB choice.

Good Luck
