I have been having intermittent issues with my TX that have been causing me to do a hard reset. I attribute this to using aged programs that were written for the 3.x series of the PalmOS. However, sometimes Versamail and Blazer will cause a freeze that a soft reset will only result in a freeze at the Palm logo. The only way to get out of this screen is to perform a hard reset.
I use my palm at work, but sync at home. So, when I have to hard reset at work, I have no access to my programs until I get home that evening.
This is not a major issue at work because I primarily use it as an email client and when I re-sync the mail with the Exchange Server, I get all my email and attachments back. The problem is when I get home and have to re-install all my programs. I may have mentioned in some of my earlier blogs that I don't get that much access to my computer at home. Time is of essence.
I have more than enough space to store the entire 128 MB on my 2GB SD card. I searched the web. I found an excellent article at http://palmaddict.typepad.com/palmaddicts/2005/11/the_value_of_an.html.
Downloaded the suggested programs and performed a full backup in preparation for the next hard-reset. I had to google "vfsbackup" to find an alternate download location because the link in the article was broken. I downloaded the programs and now I am protected.
Love my TX!
