Thanks jow for your help. I am simple farmer just trying to get my legacy palm apps to work.
I have now got garnet vm and my apps seemed to install ok but have a sync problem: when I sync every time I get the message "your device is not associated with a user account" I have tried both adding a new user and associating with existing user, but still dont seem to be able to create an association. This means that computer performs "recovery sync" every time rather than update and also one of my programs requires to recognise palm device and refuses to sync.
Any ideas?
