How do I get my E2 Palm Pilot to work with win 7?

How do I get my E2 Palm Pilot to work with win 7?
Why do they have to keep changing things? if it ain't broke don't fiddle with it.
I have data on my palm pilot which I can not afford to lose. There is just too much to store on my mobile phone and in any case most of the data is not comparable with the phone anyway.
Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Welcome to Seven Forums Doc Harry. Had you been able to access it before? You say "Why do they have to keep changing things? if it ain't broke don't fiddle with it.". Meaning who?? Have a look here:

Palm Support : Palm Tungsten E2 - Palm Desktop 6.2 and HotSync Manager (Windows)

   Note

Information about Windows 7 and 64-bit editions of Windows:
Windows 7: Many users have successfully installed and run Palm Desktop 6.2 software with Windows 7. Palm has not done thorough testing with a range of third-party equipment running Windows 7, therefore Palm cannot guarantee compatibility.

Install the latest version of Palm Desktop software for your device. I just went to Palm website and found the proper download.

After you install the program DO NOT RUN THE PROGRAM. At this point you want to take your Palm Pilot and perform a sync operation. After the sync is complete, you should be able to run the Palm Desktop software and all your data and contacts will be imported properly.

That's all there is to it if you do it in this simple order.
