Re: [PilotMgr] Resynchronization and restore of data.

[Kent Madsen <Kent.Madsen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

I just went through this, not a lost Palm but an upgrade.

There have been two suggestions on this alias over the past months:

	1) Upgrade your perl and perl/tk
	2) Sync on a PC first

Well, yesterday I did start by syncing my new IIIc on my home PC but when I 
brought it into work, I got the same error you're seeing.  Upgrading perl didn't 
seem practical for me, since I'm using perl via a shared server and I wasn't 
ready to take on having my own copy.

So, I thought that maybe it would help to sync *first* with PilotMgr, so I did a 
hard reset and tried that.  Didn't work.  Of course, now I had an empty IIIc 
that is pretty much useless.

So, I went home and re-sync'ed again with the PC (actually, it took several 
syncs, but that is another, longer story).  I also ran the memory test (there 
was an item here recently about some defective memory in new palms) -- passed.

In the course of doing that, I disovered there is a Palm OS 3.5.2 update, which 
I installed.

Today, after re-syncing and installing 3.5.2, I can sync w/PilotMgr just like 
the old days, and life looks better again.

Bottom line -- I don't know if it was the multiple syncs, or 3.5.2, but it 
worked for me today.
