Hi There....

SonyPalm Desktop 4.2 Works With Vista with the UAC Turned Off...

The Other SonyPalm Desktops MUST Be Installed For it to Work, for other 
SonyPalm PDAs to work, so likely the Same for your TH55, though I Have 
not had that Model.

A:-
You Need The CDROM, not Just Some Drivers.

B:-
For Vista, The CDROM Has to Be Newer than the One that Came With the 
NX70V (To Use an NX70V You Need to Find a CDROM for the Newer NX73v, 
which appears to work On Vista with UAC Off. You Cannot Install the 
NX70V on Vista, then try Upgrade the SonyPalm Desktop to a Newer One, as 
that Does Not Work) Other Newer SonyPDA CDROMS should work fine on Vista.

C:-
Download the latest Drivers from Sony eSupport:-
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=PEGNX80V
These updates can be important. For example,  My Backup Sony (TJ25) has 
major bugs in it, and gives a fatal alert several times a day. However, 
if I have installed the patches which updates certain files in the 
Handheld, that is not the case. I recommend, when converting to Pimlical 
and Palm Desktop 6, Sony Users Install all related Updates/Fixes, 
"Before" Uninstalling SonyPalm Desktop.
(OT Here Is A Third Party Site where they have helped me out with a lost 
Sony Clie CD & drivers.)
http://www.sonyclie.org/drivers.htm

D:-
Download Palm Desktop
http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html

E:-
Download Revo Uninstaller, assuming you have windows. I use this.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/

F:-
If Using Vista,
Disconnect Internet
Turn Off UAC
Then Restart Laptop/PC

1
Install Newer SonyPalm and Desktop.

2
Install Clie Files, using Sony CD.

3
Hotsync to move Clie Files to Sony Handheld. You will choose Hotsync 
Name. Hotsync Drivers have been installed.

4
Install, if you like, the MSimport/MSexport, if you wish. If you chose 
not to, you will be unable to do so at a later using the Sony Install 
disk, as the Sony Install Disk requires SonyPalm Desktop to be 
installed. If you do install you can use your SonyMemorystick as an 
external drive. If you have a card-reader, in your laptop, say, like me, 
you might just decide to use that way to access the card, as it is 
faster, and you might have a conflict, requiring you to set aside a 
special USB slot to access the Memorystick using that driver, but switch 
to other USB slots to hotsync through. However, if you have no handy 
card reader, you may wish to install that import export driver.

5
Load Only limited applications SonyPalm Apps on PC.

6
Choose Which Driver Updates you will download. Some you may never use, 
like an updated Bluetooth Library, that may be 800kb, but, my recommend 
installing all whilst SonyDesktop is installed, then locate the install 
folder, and copy and paste them for safe keeping, so you don't have to 
reinstall SonyPalm Desktop to install them at a later time, just double 
click to install on the PRC files. You Can Install to Install folder, 
copy them for safekeeping.

7
DO NOT install any third party applications on the Desktop, unless they 
came on the Install CD.

8
You May want to copy your user data to another location, for backup.

9
Install Revo.

10
Open Revo, and double-Click on "Palm Desktop" (If you rightclick, 
instead, "be careful not to select Remove", as Remove removes an item 
from list, without trying to uninstall it. "Choose "UnInstall"

11
On the next page, Using Vista, I use the Default Level of uninstall. On 
XP Pro, I Used the Highest. This does not remove my drivers. But Removes 
left Over Bits.

12
Press Next

13
The Palm's Own Uninstall utility opens. Follow through saying yes, etc.,

14
When that window says it is uninstalled, close that popup window.

15
On Revo, Press Next.

16
Revo takes a while to scan for related file, then halts.

17
Press Next.

18
A list of files found including the registry.

19
Press Select All, followed by Delete.

20
Press Next.

21
You get more files.

22
Press Select All, followed by Delete.

23
Next, then says all done.

24
If Using Vista....
You Can Turn ON UAC And Restart, However, I Leave UAC On Until after the 
Palm and Pimlical Installs.

25 If Using XP, Might Want To Restart, if Uninstalling SonyPalm Says 
needed Restart .

26
Install Palm 6.2 Palm Desktop. Ensure Choose Sync to Desktop, not Outlook.

27
You are asked to put in your Hotsync Name.

28
Do Not Open Palm Desktop. at this point.

29
Hotsync, and select your User Name.  Do Not open Desktop.

30
I would Start Install of Pimlical.
http://www.PimlicoS oftware.com/ pimlical. msi

31
If you are asked for Java, you are missing Java, and a link opens your 
browser to the Java Install Page. If So, install, when asked.

32
When you start install of Pimlical, choose the older legacy database, by 
checking/ticking it.

32a If Using Vista, and Still have UAC ON, You Have to Select Pimlical 
Part 2 exe, to Set These Options, which Must be Done.

33
Select the other options for default setting for your first install.

34
Click Next. and Pimlical is installed.

35
Do not start Pimlical yet.

36
Start Palm Desktop, for the first time.

37
Ensure that you can see All your Dates, Addresses, ToDos, and Memos.

38
If You Can't, then something went wrong with the install, and we need to 
get PalmDesktop working first. Check to make sure you did everything 
right. If you didn't, uninstall Palm Desktop with Revo, and repeat the 
installs.

39
If you Can, Horray.

40
Open Pimlical, it should work, and immediately go to preferences, chose 
if you want to use multiple time zones, what timezone you use, and 
Monday/Sunday Start.

41
If You Did Not Do It Earlier, Using Vista, REMEMBER to Turn Your UAC On 
Again....

Good Luck..

:-)
