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.

Alright, I will try it in the morning and get back to you.

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?
