can't access the conduit setup dialog after restore to 9
Authored by: kerim on Dec 27, '01 11:08:43PM

I thought I'd try the new Palm desktop software for OSX since I've been waiting for OSX native support for so long. Big mistake.

(1) It doesn't support syncing two byte characters. (Unless you can read Japanese - the Japanese conduits don't work with the English desktop app.)
(2) It doesn't support old conduits - so you can't use any third party applications at all (untill they are updated). So no Vindago/Avantgo/Entourage/Password/BackupBuddy/etc.

So I tried to uninstall and return to my old Desktop. This was a long story (for instance I had to do a restore from backup because of all the duplicates that were created by synching in OSX) but the end result was that I now have a problem:

I can't access the conduit setup dialog, the setup dialog, the install files dialog, etc. from either the menu in the Desktop App, or in the Instant Desktop. I have deleted the version installed by the OSX install, and I have reinstalled the old version. Then I rebuilt the desktop. I even trashed the preferences. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

If you're having the problem where Instant Desktop, etc. won't work in OS 9 after trying out the Palm Desktop 4 Beta, try rebuilding your Desktop. This solved the problem for me.
