Treo 680 and Microsoft Vista

[bigpond]

Tried to install latest Palm software to Vista today, but no luck.
Any one have an experience here?
There is nothing on the Palm site that I can find.

I came across this article last night. Don't know if it will help or not . .

Thanks for that, I had seen that site. I will have to try again.

Other sites report mixed success installing the Desktop - sometimes yes, sometimes no - and somtimes the Desktop installs but not Quick Install.

Have you tried running it under XP emulation?

Others report success with earlier Desktops. Maybe try installing one of those? I know the paperwork with he 680 suggests it won't work without its own version, but I run the last downloadable Desktop on my office machine (XP) and the 680 works just fine with it.

Palm/ACCESS says 'its working on it for Vista' but given the OS is 2 years late, one wonders how hard they've been working. Like, the OS is a suddenly a huge surprise....?

More sloppy Palm Support.

the palm site indicates that quick install will not work with vista. And yeah like vista has come as a great shock to palm. I agree they are more than a little behind

I have tried almost everything to make vista work with palm desktop. Succeeded with backup, but could not make palm desktop work. I had to downgrade back to XP in order to keep using Palm Desktop....Sucks...
