Testing with absolutely nothing but the native software and no installed data strongly suggests that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rivka was right and this is a software problem.
So now I slowly put things back. I've made a copy of the Palm's "backup" directory on the desktop, and removed almost everything from the main/original directory (the one the software looks in).
If I have what I think I do, the just-completed hot sync should have only restored my datebook info.
I'm going to be slowly adding to the Palm--if I can get the datebook and address book working, I can cope. Memo pad and shopping list would be useful. So (yes) would Bubblet.
This entry is mostly a note-to-myself on current status.
12:36: Adding the datebook information--not the snazzy Datebook4 program--seems to have worked.
12:47: Restored address book data. So far, so good.
• Added to-do items with no problem. Added memo pad, and got some errors in the hot sync log about it being unable to add everything, but the Palm still works.
• Next, either HandyShop or figuring out what I need to do to get DateBk4 back.
17:00: I have HandyShop back, and the Palm still works.
17:30: Restored DateBk4, which led to a tedious scan through a lot old email to find my registration code for the software. So far, so good. Prudence suggests stopping here, but I want bubblet. I'll get a fresh copy of MetrO, I think, in case it had been corrupted. I can live without ParensLite (a calculator).
11/7: And now the digitization has wandered off again. Time to start over without DateBk4, or install a brand new copy.
