Palm 650 and BlackBerry Pearl (8100)

I cannot get either my Palm 650 Treo (with Service provider Bell Mobility) or
my BlackBerry 8100 (with Service Provider Rogers) to work with vista. It
recognized the Palm 650 handheld, but won't install the driver (says it can't
find the file, but the Driver files are on both the CD media that came with
the Palm and also on the HDD).

My BlackBerry Pearl is worse, Vista will only recognize the BlackBerry as a
"Blackberry SD card" I am using Desktop manager version 4.2 with Rogers as
my wireless provider for the BlackBerry.

Neither device will sync. In both device managers settings (palm and
blackberry) it seems to want to look for the devices on COM ports instead of
the USB Ports. I have tried completely uninstalling both the devices and all
the software, then re-installing to no avail. i really need my contacts and
calendar info to sync. Please help

I can't speak for the Treo, but Desktop Manager 4.2 is not fully Vista
compatible at this time.
4.3 is expected in a few weeks which is however.

I have a 8100 and an older NExtel for the office, and I just charge them via
USB right now as synching isn't there yet due to lack of drivers.
