This problem happens consistently. Again it worked fine for a few...

As is the case, Palm/ACCESS have no support/compatibility for x64 operating systems, and never plan to do so. The software will install on x64, there just are no x64 USB drivers for palm devices. That is fine, because the connection works fine over bluetooth.
