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.

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.
