Post by: slendersunfish on April 18, 2010, 08:35:31 pm

Can anyone Confirm a palm handheld model that will sink George on a modern 64 bit p.c ?
I know a few window cleaners that have upgraded thier p.c and cant sink george !
Hope some one can help

Palm syncro won't work on 64 bit computers, only 32 bit. I understand that you can do it via an infrared communication setup, but www.palmone.com will help you with that.

You need a Palm with integrated Bluetooth. Then buy a cheap bluetooth USB dongle from ebay. Set up the hotsync connection and bluetooth settings and voila, you're hotsyncing Pocket George.

I'm syncing Geo via a usb infared dongle it works well if only a bit slow the main prob I have with Geo on 64bit is that the date format is all wrong and all amounts are shown in $ not £, Paul sugested that I had my windows settings all incorrect but its not that I am set to UK formats so would be interesting to see if anyone else is having any probs with Geo.

No problems here really.

Have you gone to the 'region and language' option in the control panel (classic view) and selected UK and your currency formats there?
