2210 back won't restore HELP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I have a HP Ipaq 2210 and it won't restore from any of its backups, it makes
no difference if its done via active sync on to my PC or via the built in
Ipaq backup to the SD, even if you hard reset after the backup to make sure
there are no duplicates all it does is completes the restore fully then when
you do the soft reset it ask for you get the scrolling bar across the middle
of the screen and when it reaches the end it justs stops and thats it. Does
any one have any ideas cause it's driving me mad. I have already updated the
unit to the latest ROM, done a hard reset, reinstalled every thing from
scratch and the backup problem is still the same.

install of my apps and then tried the backup restore again, same problem !!
