Visor Deluxe Questions

I have what I think is a Visor Deluxe (black, 8MB, OS3.1H2). I don't have it synchronized for probably 5 years or more (I had set it up on an old machine with Win98 and he's dead).

We recently retired and travel for about half of the year and I would like to use it as an ebook download reader to it through our laptop that is running Vista 64-bit.

We also have a desktop computer (who is not traveling with us; o)) which is running XP.

After doing some research, it seems that there is a problem with the help of Vista 64-bit. I hope someone can tell me if the 64-bit Vista or XP will work with the visor for hotsync or download ebooks?

Thank you!

  1. For 64-bit Vista Hotsync questions, please see this thread stickied at the top of the Board of Windows Hotsync.
  2. For eBooks, you must use eReader for Palm , or a compatible application for any format of eBooks that you want to download.
  3. Personally, I think you will find that the Visor Deluxe will be relatively slow and difficult for eBooks.  The screen is small and low resolution.  If this will be your main goal with the Palm, you would be much better served by finding a Palm T5 or TX, refurbished or used with their screens wide, high-resolution, color.  Just my opinion.

  • Handspring Visor Deluxe desktop problem

    I used a Handspring Visor with Windows XP Home Edition for the past 3 years with any problem until October of this year.  I tried to open the office program that came with the visor and it failed with the message "invalid address file" and the error message referred me to Palm Support web site.

    I downloaded the update 401 installed and original program on the computer and tried to HotSync, but she doesn't have a sync.  I have tried the following updates: USBREGClean, HS_Updater & DSTUpdater and reinstalled the original program and update (401) but always without success to get the office program to open ot HotSync.

    Any suggestions before I throw the visor away.  I want to continue to use the visor...  Have used the visor for the last 2 months, I am very worried because I can't add on the desktop.  I thought that the Windows Update has been cuaing the problem and returned to a point of restoration in September when the last HotSync worked, but again without success.

    Thanks for your help.

    Try the following steps to see if you can get Palm Desktop to open.

    With Palm closed desktop on your PC, go to computer, c drive or local drive, program files, palm or palmone, find your user folder (it will be a contraction of the name of user in palm desktop), find the address folder and rename it to address.old. Click on the Palm Desktop and see if it opens. If it doesn't, change the conduit in hotsync manager for handheld overrides desktop and sync.

    For reference purposes, click the following link to the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com Web page.

  • Visor Deluxe crashes during reset

    I found nothing through searches then maybe someone might be able to help with my camera of dino

    I have what I believe to be a Visor Deluxe (it's the translucent blue case, 8 MB). There OS3.1H2

    Whenever it needs to be reset (software install, for example) it will go to the Palm Logo screen and just stay there.  He's going to stay on this screen until I have or do a reset of the system (reset button) and then I'm stuck in safe mode, or pull on the battery, or do a reset complete. It won't even turn off after two minutes and power down.

    For this reason, I use it as an ebook reader, since I have to wipe completely load just some ebook that I want to read and read, hoping that I won't have to recharge the system.

    I use a Mac, Leopard, and I use Missing Sync to synchronize/Office management.

    I know this is an old feature, but if anyone has any advice, I would be happy.

    Well, after... .i know... a year with this problem?  Can I save and post here and then go and do more troubleshooting and find that the app Missing Sync that get installed configuration does not work on my visor in all cases (needs os 4). So I remove it, I was wondering if this could be the problem.  Of course, things work now, I could apply the BONE development and upgrade my 'Palm Reader' to the latest version of "eReader" and now the unit is useful (I bet that handspring memory module can even be used again!

  • E-mail POP with a Visor Deluxe

    So far, I have configured a Visor Deluxe using Multimail to send messages via an infrared connection to a mobile phone using a modem connection.

    I use a gmail account to send, but for now he won't pick up any mail using pop3 settings.

    Mail.free - .net dialup dialup e-mail address works if you put it on the line of the Server SMTP of Multimail options.

    The page of the Mail of Multimail server has an option Pop3 or Imap4. If you put the pop3 pop.gmail.com line you

    would have thought it worked - but this isn't a return authentication problem.

    Anyone has any ideas what's wrong?  I can live with just sending a message, but it would be nice to have too.

    In terms of getting the gprs link to support instead of dial-up - well who is expected, but he refuses to do it again!

    HS

    What could be causing the problem, is that the use of gmail as securty SSL and the Multimail maybe not these settings on the device. If this is the case here is the gmail settings that you must add to the device

  • Visor Deluxe: HotSync after the loss of the gel battery

    First of all, I'm new to these forums, so if I posted this in the wrong place, I apologize.  Please, just direct me to the appropriate forum.

    I lost the battery cover to my Visor Deluxe, that I discovered when a battery is dropped and I lost all my data and applications.  The batteries are now saved in, and I did a HotSync the night before the battery is out, so I expect to be able to recover everything by an another HotSync.  But at the end of the HotSync (while it says "Cleaning - please wait"), I get the following message: 'You now need to reset your Pocket PC by pressing the button below,' that says "Reset".  Once I press the button, the screen has a big 'P' logo say with the words "Palm Computing Platform" underneath and I can't or do this screen go away, or turn off your handheld.  I repeated several times (after erasing the data again) and got the same results.

    Before the HotSync, I'm going to the HotSync of Palm Desktop 4.0.1 custom dialog box (in Windows XP SP3) and replace pipes for calendar, address book, task list, Notepad and system "Desktop replaces PDA; I let it install and install the Service models the Enabled value.  HotSync produces the following log:

    Full HotSync operation, 03/07/09 00:15:54

    Note that HotSync is supposed to upgrade the OS 3.1H2 to 3.1H3 Palm.  Also note that, with the exception of this upgrade, each file is installed twice.

    I solved the problem by:

    (1) do a hard reset

    (2) removing the application, balance between personal life and its directory data files backup

    (3) do a HotSync (after the first HotSync settings for "Desktop replaces handheld")

    (4) reinstall personal life balance - and its files - from the backup directory

  • Version of the model discovered visor

    Hello!

    I'm new to palm-type computers and I don't know much about them.  I was given an old Handspring Visor by an associate who was compensation to his office.  I don't have the CD, the instruction booklet or the charger to charge it.  I have the USB media docking station connect the device to my computer.   The Tunis only on the device itself is the "Handspring" and "Visor" logo and a web address. No model number, I can easily find.  The web address gives me a list of Handspring Visor models to choose from the "Visor Deluxe", "Visor Prism" among other models of visor from where I can download the appropriate manuals and software and for more information on the appropriate accessories.  However, given that my device does not say what model it is.  I don't know which is the case for download.  I would be grateful if someone can give me information on how can I find out what version of Handspring Visor I use probably.

    Thank you!

    I really appreciate the work that you aid give especially those of you who volunteer your time.  Sometimes your expertise seems to be the only solution that I could easily find on the internet.  I'm now downloading the appropriate documentation and software for my Visor Edge.

    Thank you again, Mr President!

  • Handspring Visor is a "unrecognized USB device" for Windows XP

    Hello World-

    I feel as if I have a career to synchronize my PDA hot! I used to hotsync regularly on my old HP Windows 98 machine, and now that I have this new (er) eMachines Windows XP Pro system, I got nothing but heartache. Here's the situation:

    My Visor Deluxe runs Palm OS 3.1H3, apparently the latest version which will work with it. The computer is running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have hotsync a few times when I got to the computer, but it has never been reliable. Now I surely CAN NOT synchronize! When I press the button on the cradle, Windows hotsync ALWAYS reports, "USB device not recognized" and of course the visor says he couldn't make contact with the office.

    HotSync manager is running (I have the blue and red arrow on the taskbar icon), and if I look at the Device Manager when I try to sync, is apparently trying to get the driver, he simply painted the same list. The list does NOT include the Palm, Handspring or unknown devices.

    I followed the directions "clean uninstall" I found on this forum and re-installed Palm Desktop 4.01. That worked once a week or two ago, but now when I arrive at the end of the installation, when I'm supposed to hot sync, I get the error not recognized USB.  I even tried to install Palm Desktop software version 6.2, but which ended up in a mess - I was getting errors like "Ordinal 23 could not bewildered because of the trajectory messed up', or words to that effect... I think it's ok for XP, but not "peripheral" as my trusty old visor :-)

    I know I should try to use the same configuration on another computer to be sure that the visor is ok, but I don't have access to another machine; In addition, the PDA has no other wierdness. Soft resets do nothing, but I don't want to try a hard reset until I get everything synced to the top! I am at my wit's end and don't know what else to try. I tried both my cribs and a number of different USB connections both at the front and the back of the PC. The USB hardware in the computer seems to be fine with everything else - mouse, camera, mp3, flash drives. I'm beginning to suspect that I need to plug with USB 1 and these are 2 USB, but I don't know how to check either of these things, or how "throttle" in the case, I have to use the USB as soon as possible.

    Thanks in advance to everyone that these figures. I'll be very grateful to have everything works again.

    I was with you until the end. I hate to ask, but could you clarify this just a little:

    Then, reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If she asks
    for a user name and you synchronized your device before you put "test" If you "
    no sync before creating a hotsync name.

    Ok. I read three "if" statements, and try to understand what is meant here. If they ask you a user name AND if I synced before, AND if I do not synchronize before creating a hotsync name, I put in 'test '. Means I can't use the name I used for this camera? Or are you suggesting that, really, should I open Palm Desktop and create the username before I hotsync for the first time (after the new installation)?

    I * have * synchronized before, and I don't plan to sync until everything is set up right, which to me should mean that Palm Desktop is ready with a username to match your handheld.

    Also, these indications seem in conflict which advised you to in the first paragraph, where you said:

    When you install Palm desktop, skip the hotsync process and complete the installation. After installation, adjust the conduit in hotsync manager for handheld overrides desktop, then synchronize with PC. During the connection process, it will ask you a username, enter the same username which is located in the upper right of the screen on your handheld hotsync.

    It * seems * that what you say I have to do is:

    (A) clean uninstall - move data to safe places, uninstall, and then remove all traces of "Palm" and "Handspring" of the registry.

    (B) restart the computer.

    (C) install Palm desktop, but not hot sync again.

    (D) open Palm Desktop, add the user name (Tools/users) and set the lines for handheld overrides Desktop.

    (E) hot sync.

    Isn't it? Sorry to be so simple, but I want to make sure to proceed exactly right. Thank you very much for your reply and for your help.

    For my birthday my sister gave me a $ 25 Itunes gift card and I went and pre-ordered the new Album of Metallica Deluxe, (The Set 3 disc) and I confirmed my purchases of 14.99 and my question is,.

    Has paid for the entire album in full, or each track when you click on the pre-ordered button? I am responsible for the 1.29 for the first single and again here second single, (two songs)

    Will need me even more money or the 14.99 will always cover the entire album?

    Will need me even more money or the 14.99 will always cover the entire album?

    14.99 + tax will cover it.

    When you pre-order, you pay for the titles as they become available and then pay the balance when the full album is available.  In the end, you have the complete album for the price of the correct album.

  • compatibility with print shop deluxe version 21

    is Vista compatible with Print Shop Deluxe Version 21?

    Switch which autour...

    It should be "V21 PrintShop Deluxe' which is or is not compatible with"Windows Vista".  After all - "Windows Vista", probably has use beyond "PrintShop Deluxe v21" running and does not install other software (is the operating system.)

    You would ask those who make the software in question.  I remember having said something similar on this software very recently...  Something about v22 works on Vista but not Windows 7.

    If you plan to buy - why not get the latest version you know works and are still supported?
