I had troubles but fixed them: crashes fixed
Authored by: mzajac on Jan 01, '02 10:06:55PM

I had a similar crash. I presume mine was caused by a corrupted database, because I had had problems syncing.

I solved the problem thusly:

1. un-install Palm Desktop X
2. re-install Palm Desktop 2.6.3
3. export addresses and memos to text files
4. re-install Palm Desktop X
5. import the text files

The re-installing procedures worked smoothly, and all of my data survived the several transitions. The import brought everything across intact, but my notes all have today's creation date.

The Palm folks have obviously put in a lot of work making the installers pretty reliable, so don't be scared to try out the beta software.
