One Solution Re: [PilotMgr] Forgetting the date

[Mark Shafton <Mark.Shafton@xxxxxxx>]

My Palm IIIe displayed this same kind of behavior especially losing
days, not so much time. The following seems to have corrected it
as I have not experienced this for several months.

1) Perform a full sync/backup.
2) Remove batteries
3) Let sit unpowered for 1 hour
4) Update to Palm (PC)Desktop 4.0 and PalmOS 3.1.1
   (I had been on older versions, I don't remember which)
   (I made no changes to my version of PilotMgr v1.107)
4) Install fresh fully charged batteries
5) Perform a hard reset (small depression on back
  			 of case)
6) Reload from backups 
7) Perform full sync

I have believed that this problem was somehow caused by sync'ing
on both my Ultra 10 and my PC at home. Updating the PC software
and/or hard reset of the palm elminated the error.

FYI
