I have quite a few dollars invested in Palm apps from my NX70V Clie that I would be very happy to use once again including a couple hundred dolllars in ebooks and ereader.The biggest thing I ran into was my reg code kept getting denied.

First off, setting Garnet VM to 64 megs was bad advice. The hell did you suggest that for bun?

64 megs will take a huge chunk out of your internal memory, initial loading time will be huge and the possibility of it becoming corrupted would worry anyone.

8 megs should be fine.

I hotsynced about 50 Skyscape med apps that total 700 megs on my SD card and still have over 4 megs left within Garnet.

If you know what you're doing, this emulator is amazing. If not, you'll be pulling out your hair like bun did a year ago. *lol*

Garnet generates two different device numbers for your tablet. One when starting Garnet VM and another if you go straight to the Garnet launcher (suggested).

Ether of these two device numbers aren't going to match your old Palm handheld and that's why your reg codes won't work.

I might have time on Friday night to help out but I'm by no means a specialist.

Best people to talk with would be in the following order:
Palmleavr
Javispedro
TA-T3
qwerty12
DFinch
Pushwall
bunanson
then me at the bottom.
