Palm Treo 755 Software with 64-bit Vista
I have a computer with 64-bit Vista on it, and I need to use the software that came with my Palm Treo 755, but it is not supported. I was using it on another computer, but the Hard drive went out. Any suggestions on how to get this working? I am up for anything.

You could install virtual pc 2007 and there in vista 32 bit/xp 32/windows 2000, if you have a license for it.
I had similar problems when testing Google Desktop.
Got around it by installing it from the command line using the /force switch to enforce 32-bit compatibility mode.
Copy your installation file to the Desktop.
Click on the Start Orb » type cmd.exe into the start search box » right-click on cmd.exe when it appears in the menu » select Run as Administrator
The Command Prompt window appears - type the following commands - and tap enter after each line:
cd %userprofile%\desktop
YourInstallFileName /force
If you can't use the install file from the Desktop, if it's on a CD for instance, you'll need to navigate to the correct location in the Command Prompt window instead of to the Desktop.

Well, it installed, but would not sync. The issue is apparently with drivers, and the only way I read to fix this is to sync through Bluetooth because Palm does not have a 64-bit Vista driver for the phone. Any ideas on how to make it sync without using bluetooth?
