Synching Palms Using Windows XP?

Posted by Cliff on from the but-they-say-it's-supported dept.

Bill Kendrick asks: "I've been reading a few PDA-related Usenet groups lately, and I've been noticing quite a number of problems people have been having when trying to sync their Palms (and other PDAs) under WindowsXP." According to Palm, the new Palm Desktop (version 4.0.1) should be compatible, yet it seems that a lot of people are experiencing problems. If you've managed to get a Palm to sync successfuly with a Windows XP system, what did you have to do to get things working?

    What you likely have to do in order to sync a Palm to WindowsXP is install WindowsCE on the Palm (if at all possible). Otherwise, you're SOL.

    That's the way that MS would like it.
