[Helpdesk] Palm Desktop

[Phil Vergamini]

	I've been using Palm Desktop for calendar and contact 
information for around 7 years or more without a hitch.  Well now 
I've had a hitch.  Last week when I tried to bring it up, I got an 
error message "Unexpected end of file encountered."  When I contacted 
their tech support, they told me that the error message indicated my 
data file was probably corrupted and asked if I had my palm pilot 
synched to the desktop software recently.  When I told them I hadn't, 
they hung up on me - I presume because their policy is that if they 
do solve your problem, they charge $25 and this one didn't look too 
promising.  I do have the data backed up on my previous Power PC but 
it is around a year old.  I was able to port it to my G5 but 
obviously most of the updates I've made over 2005 are lost.  I 
planned to just deal with it the way it is but then thought someone 
in the MUG might have some experience that might help me out.  The 
data file that won't open appears to be the right size to contain all 
the data - it's around 20% larger than the old usable file.

	Any help would be appreciated-

	-Phil
