Thank you for the reference. Downloaded file but don't see indications that it will install. Have Vista. What next?

Why are you trying to install Linux drivers on Windows. For windows, search the forums and you'll find multiple threads

When i try to launch Novacom, it says the the required jnlp field is missing from the launch file. I am using Linux, what should i do?

that file is only for Debian based installs...

i had to hack it to install on Fedora. There is /opt/Palm and event.d files you need to pull out.

I have a problem, my brother is in Hawaii and I am in Michigan - I am trying to talk him through this over the phone and what I have figured out is that the novacom driver isnt installed, it shows up in device manager as a yellow ! but the driver says it cant install and asks where to look - I downloaded this file and tried to point it there but it didnt work

I am sure the lack of a novacom driver is the only problem stopping him from using webos quick install - he followed the steeps correctly just as I did over the phone with him but it didnt work

he is using Windows XP Professional - it is on a MacBook but it is bootcamp so it is really windows (in case you dont know bootcamp allows you to run windows on a mac with an intel CPU and it boots into windows its not a virtual machine) but who knows

please help, what could we be missing
