How to create a Virtual Com Port in Windows 7 for Palm HotSync

I've just updated wo Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  Because Palm does not support USB synchronization under a 64-bit system, it tells me that I need to create a virtual com port for my bluetooth device to synchronize.  I can't understand how to create this port under Windows 7.

Hi Sonmox,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

In the Sub in view of the link you need to download the Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager. This software allows you to synchronize your device Palm with your computer, for your info is backed up and easily editable on your computer.

Visit the following is given link of Palm and configure your Bluetooth device.

When you set up your Palm device to synchronize using Bluetooth technology, you create a 'Bluetooth partnership' between your devices your computer (also known as "pair" or "trusted device"). This allows you to synchronize your device wireless and your computer have to authenticate each other, every time that you synchronize.

Follow the steps in the document to sync your Bluetooth device.
