More Information

If you encounter memory line errors, including Memory MgrNew.c,Line:4128 Invalid handle, do the following.

A lot of these fatal errors lead into loops which can only be broken by doing a warm (up-arrow) reset. However, upon the next reset/restore/sync you get the fatal errors again.

This usually means that something is screwy in the Palm's version of the .ini file, the Preferences. Either delete the data ("Saved Prefs" with zCatalog or DBExplorer on the Palm, not forgetting the backup "Saved Prefs" on the desktop if you have to restore (otherwise you are back to square zero). You might want to first try selectively deleting as well. Use PrefMgr or Preference Editor for this. Both solutions usually concern the "Saved" prefs. Don't mess with the HotSync or PalmOS prefs unless you WANT all your memos and apps in the UNFILED category, or want to delete your hotSync name.

This "solution" usually saves me a hard reset, especially after a playing around with hacks or IR apps (I have about 15 running) screws something up big time. Unfortunately, against the blinking cursor splash screen error (e.g. Oops...installed all four files in the PalmIR enhance Zip. Baaad.), this won't work since a warm reset doesn't get you anywhere.

If this error message does not go away, it might be due to problems with the DRAM. Pull the batteries out (and prey you have backups of you data) then press the reset button on the back. Now wait 5 mins (sometimes longer).

ALL DATA WILL BE LOST!
