It would probably help if you mentioned what version specifically you are
talking about.

Since there are different versions available for different handhelds (e.g.
the Zire 72 and 31), stating the version you're discussing would
elimintate ambiguity.

I haven't seen in 4.1. Any custom conduits installed?

Sorry about that. I am using the Palm Desktop from Palm with my T3. Version
is 4.1.4. I am running Windows XP Home with pretty much up to date patches.

The only conduits I am using are the ones from Palm.

I'm using 4.1.2 at home, and 4.1.4 at work with no problems; I'm using
a T|3 as well.

Here is something to try: right click on the icon pane, and change the
size of the icons to whatever they are currently not set to. Then
change them back. Just an idea, though.

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually tried that with no results. What
finally fixed it was an uninstall and reinstall of the Palm Desktop.

(sarcasm on) Thankfully Palm support sent me no less than 3 emails with
details on how to remove and reinstall the program. (sarcasm off)

Cheers

Glad you got it fixed, sorry the suggestion didn't pan out. Given a
reinstallation was required, I'd assume either a file or the registry
got corrupt.

Sounds like their support is about as good as Compaq's. I had a
three-for-all with their tech support regarding the DC output of a
transformer for a particular scanner of theirs. Kept getting back "120
volts AC", along with some other meaningless drivel in a very broken
English.

Palm support has usually been pretty good but it seems to be going downhill.
Normally I get a survey to fill out after the fact but I haven't gotten one
this time. I think they know they will get a bad score given that I had to
ask them twice to respond and at least one time they sent me an email with a
bunch of meaningless text (corrupt HTML I think). I think it's time to write
a letter to the boss over at Palm.

Cheers

I'll join you. I wanted to know about a possible compatibility issue in
their accessories, and they gave some idiotic stock answer about something
completely different. All I needed was "yes" or "no", so they lost my sale
to somewhere else. Also, they *never* got it right as far as VersaMail is
concerned; mainly because they never understood what I was saying.
