I did try a hard reset/quick erase/hotsync after deleting
AppSlipRotate.prc and StatusBarLib.prc from the /ProgramFiles/PalmOne/
(username)/Backup folder (as well as every instance of them with the
same version I could find on my system), but it did not help. After
hotsync the LifeDrive asks for a reset and hangs. Did the same trick
again (after draining the battery) with PocketTunes.prc (or pTunes.prc,
I'm not sure) deleted and still no result. Problem is I can't get into
the device after hotsync, so I can't possibly install Filez or any other
app without hotsyncing. I could install my main apps from zero after a
quick erase, but then I would loose a few hundred adressess and a lot of
other stuff I had just managed to transfer (manually!) from my old and
trusty Psion 3MX.
Who has the Golden Tip???

I'm the same guy as 'Satan' but I posted with another app in Ubuntu and
forgot to make a good profile in the Windoze newsprog....)
