Again

One more time people SORRY We had to reformat the computer so therefore AvantGo is gone, I tried downloading from the site but I keep getting error message "no ce partner found" and "file is too large or corrupt" . It seems as though I may be attempting to dl the wrong version, the one on my palm is 4.0 build 823 but none of what is available matches the build????? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Vicki

CE is the old version of Microsoft's os for PPC's. It sounds to me like you're trying to download that version. You need the version for PalmOS.

When you login to your AvantGo account, there's a download link at the right, about half way down, under your user name. That opens the Software Setup page. If you're a Windows user, the PalmOS version (currently 4.0 build 941) is the 1st one in the list labeled "Download AvantGo Palm OS Client". The actual filename is "AGPalmClientSetup.exe".

Right, that is exactly what i'm doing however it continues to end up the same way..... it appears to be working untill I attempt to open it up and then I get one of two messages, "file is corrupt, too big or an incomplete version?????? I have it going to my desk top, perhaps it needs to go somewhere specific?
Thanks

Try saving to a file instead of the desktop. I just downloaded the palm version 3 days ago and it worked fine.

Thank you for the suggestion, unfortunatly it didn't work either.
The message now is "the executable that you are attempting to run is incomplete. Please verify the size and obtain another copy."
And also "contents of the file cannot be unpacked"
I'm going crazy with out AvantGo..
Thanks again

You can try one of two things... first, delete all traces of the file you've already downloaded and try again. Second, do the right-click, Save Target As... and specify a different filename like "AG4.exe". If neither of these options work, I'm not sure what else to tell you.

56 K MODEM and we have AOL I deleted what I had already downloaded but nothing seems to be working.
thank you so much for all your suggestions, I really appreciate the help. I can't even begin to figure out what's wrong ,i've never ever had this problem before.

I have contacted AvantGo support but they said it usually takes about 3 days for a reply..... I'm still thinking that it's sort of strange that this all happened after we reformatted the computer.
but Dell SWEARS that it has nothing to do with that hmmmm strange coincidence I guess!!!!!!
thanks again

I just successfully downloaded and executed the file from here. The only odd thing was that it said "You are about to install a consumer verion of AvantGo over an Enterprise version of AvantGo. Are you sure you want to proceed?"

Do you have any idea what would cause that to happen?
That is exactly what it said this time?????

Thought so...

I've heard that AOL's Download Manager can cause some problems when downloading from the internet.

Glad to see you were finally successful...
