Palm Vx - pocket computer crashed, please save my files
I have an old friend, a Palm Vx, which has served me well since 1999. I accidentally let the battery and now it won't Sync., well it sync normally, but no data are transferred - just quickly going through the routine - the handheld is empty, but alive and displays the Sync routine. I did a hard reset, uninstalled and installed the program on my laptop, check user names and replaced the .dat files that I keep manually as backups in a separate folder in Windows Explorer. I have personal data registered as births, death, travel, etc., in these files that I have to put it in a form; However, I can't do nothing to copy, export, open or read, including the .dat, .bak, .dba, .aba or .mpa file. Can someone help me move or convert the files listed below in another format/software that will open showing all my valuable recordings? Keep the Palm format is not important for me, I just need complete and readable information in any software: Excel, Word, Notepad, Internet Explorer, Adobe Reader, WordPerfect, Snagit editor or other software/converter that will give me my previous records. The files needed are:
Address.dat
datebook.dat
Memopad.dat
Notepad.dat
These documents contain, respectively, 384, 1 236, 78 and 2 KB of data. Palm tree on my laptop works perfectly, I just need to get the information in an another safe place to serve as a reference.
OS: Windows XP Pro SP3, USB for portable crib for synchronization.
Thank you.
With Palm desktop closed, copy the .dat files in the respective folders in your user name on the PC. Paste the address.dat in the address file. If you see another file with the same name, overwrite it because your Palm desktop has no data.
Open Palm desktop and see if the data is there. If this does not work, try and use the import feature to try and import the .aba, .dba, .mpa file into the respective applications in the WFP office. Open Palm desktop, select address or contacts, select file - import and select the .aba file to import. ABA says AddressBookArchive.
Once you get back data in Palm desktop, I suggest to use the export function to save your data. It seems you have files to archive, but they are not current. Here is a procedure to back up your data recovery disaster.
The best way to protect your data is to export the data in each category of Palm Desktop in a separate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that suits. Name it something like Palm Desktop data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on this page for the export procedure.
http://www.Palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?id=28734
Make sure you only select everything for the beach in the export window.
With the data stored in the created folder, make a copy of this file and save it on a USB key, cd - rw or external hard drive.
Whenever you change in Palm Desktop, export the data that has been changed in this file and save again to external media.
With this process you can always import the data in Palm Desktop, whenever you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop, or if your computer/hard drive/device crash.

InDesign crashing on save as file size of 4 GB. Error loading 6, HELP!
I work with some of the big files in InDesign. Today, about 5 or 6 times, when my INDD file spent 4.25 GB it would break. I would say it was a loading error 6 or something like that. Several reports have been sent. Once it crashes, it becomes impossible to open again. I've been shooting a lot of copies, but I'm still crashing... Is there a capacity of size of files known to CO-OPERATE? I'm reaching and passing it? Is this why it crashes?
Linking to placed images requires more work and certainly discipline, although she is certainly pay seriously in terms of potentially dramatically low. Files INDD and flexibility with regard to the modification of the content placed.
Tell your client that their approach is really impossible for the scale of the project and that Adobe recommends linking instead to incorporate placed images.

I try to install the new utilities on my PC and get this error message. When I click OK I get a new message
Install Script Setup Launcher has stopped working, Windows is checking for a solution.After reviewing this error I find none of the solutions presented work for this application. Can someone give me a solution for this. I'm frustrated by the latter.If anyone is interested, I finally solved this oner myself. The outage was caused by the security systems of windows itself and determination of corrupting the file to install. I solved it by removing all traces security essentials and any other security service on the PC, including the previous version of Fix - It. Having done via control panel uninstall and the register looking to be sure, I was able to install the software.
This problem occurred on my PC did the same on both, both works now properly so the utility works fine in the background where other systems use resources.

Received phone call from a man named Thomson. He said he was with Windows in the United States and Florida. Was given the phone number of 315-506-4544. Asking for help with problems with my computer detected by Windows. He said that I was risking my computer and overwriting of files. Very difficult to understand. He asked I right click on my computer and highlight all the files with any questions. I didn't trust this person so I hung up the phone. I continued to return calls 4 - 5 times. This doesn't seem to be a legitimate caller. My security proovider is AVG and they say my computers are recording to date. Was it a bogus scam

I'll provide too much information because those of us who are computer knuckleheads think that everything is important since it is a mystery to us.
My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files. There are four years of e-mails in these files and critical that I be able to open them.
My only working computer running XP. It has Outlook Express is installed on it and was once used for e-mail, but not more and not implemented with my ISP to send or receive if it matters at all. Other that the sending and receiving of all the other functions of the OE program appear to be operational.
I have read many explanations on how to open the files dbx on different sites - all is completely different and most seem well beyond my skill level.
There is a fairly painless way to open these files? I don't want to try anything that could damage them. Please... any solution please guide me through in its simplest form - I am 64 but pretend you are explaining the process to a 7 year old. Yes, I'm that lame!
Sorry for writing a novel and thank you to all who take their time to help the ignorant!
I advise you to immediately copies of your DBX files restored. Save the duplicates in a place safe, and don't mess with them.
Then try using one of the various tutorials that you have found on the Internet by using a copy of your DBX files restored.
I did it a few times, but years ago and I DBX http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/questions/how-i-open-corrupted-dbx-files-in-oe/ visualization tool
