I'm stupid- problems on storage card

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

You may need to perform a hard reset and reinstall the programs to correct
the problem ... UNLESS you have a good recent backup that you could restore
and then delete the mess you have on the storage card.

Ann's Rite Jon,
Ok... if you are not sure which folder goes where.... go
to the folder in the SD card and browse the folders which you copied from the
Main memory... if you see a folder with a name of a software like "Windows
Media Player" , "Microsoft Voice command" cut it and paste it to the Program
Files ... Other folders which you might moved .... might go to the \windows
folder . It would help if you can list the names of the folders you copied so
we might know which goes where and tell you...

If you do want to clear up memory space on the device... I suggest you
uninstall all the software u installed using the Device's Remove program
option ... Then Sync your device with Activesync on the desktop...

Now go to Tools - Add remove programs ... There uncheck the option "Install
applications to the default install folder"... after unchecking, check all
the software you removed from the device earlier and click OK ...

Now When prompted with a small box ... change the "Main Memory" to Storage
Card or SD Card ... as per listing... this installs the software to the SD
card... most of them should work from the SD....

Then you can transfer your excel, word, mp3, notes etc to the storage to
free up space....
